The Structure of Electric Rates
Electric rate structures vary greatly
according to supply voltage and type of
customer.

Industrial & Commercial Customers
Industrial & commercial Customers, more than 500
kW cont. power, have three major components to
their electric bill:-
Energy charge
Fixed charge
Power Factor ( PF ) penalty, if any

Energy charge: a fixed energy rate per kWh of
electrical energy used that month. This cost element
covers the utility fuel and O&M costs.
Fixed charge: a fixed rate per maximum kW per
month. This cost element covers the utility
investment cost.
PF penalty: a proportional factor based on the kWh
used.

Key Factors in Electric Energy Use
AEE/ Certified Energy Manager CEM H - 5
There is a big difference between a kW and a kWh
A kW is a measure of power being used
A kWh is a measure of energy being used

A Good Analogy for kW and kWh
AEE/ Certified Energy Manager CEM H-6
The automobile dash board provides a nice way to
understand the difference between the kW and kWh
A kW is like the speed that is measured by the
speedometer.
A kWh is like the distance that is measured by theodometer

How is kW Measured
AEE/ Certified Energy Manager CEM H-7
The electric utility does not measure instantaneousvalues of the kW a facility uses. Instead, they alwaysaverage the value of the kW over a short period of time-usually 15, 30 or 60 minutes 900, 1,800 or 3,600seconds.
Two common approaches are used to perform thisaveraging process to get the metered kW value.
One is the sliding window averaging method and theother is the synchronous averaging method.

Why Is This All Important
AEE/ Certified Energy Manager CEM H-10
Understanding the definitions of kW and kWh isimportant to understanding how electric utilities operateand how they use their facilities.
A key point is that there is presently no economic wayto store large quantities of electric energy. Electricity istruly a JIT production process.
Also, electric use fluctuates during the day, and duringthe season of the year, and causes utilities additionalexpenses compared to constant loads.

Energy cost
AEE/ Certified Energy Manager CEM H - 11
Energy charge : 0.1535 LE/kWh
Fixed charge : 7.3 LE/kW/month
PF penalty: (0.9-PF)*0.5*energy cost

Bill calculation
A factory consumes 50,000 kWh a month, with a
maximum demand of 225 kW and power factor is
0.85, find the cost of the electric bill for this month?

Monthly cost
Energy cost= (----) LE/kWh* 50,000 kWh
= ---X--- LE
Fixed charge = (----) LE/kW/month * kWmax
= ---Y--- LE
PF penalty = (0.9-0.85)*0.5* X = --Z LE
Total monthly bill = X+Y+Z LE

Time of Use rate(not implemented)
Concept: charge more for power (energy) at
expensive (peaking) times for the utility. Charge less
during less expensive times.
