Enhancing Energy Efficiency Rational

How many small AC/DC transformers do you have at home and at your work place?

For instance, you are using AC/DC Transformers for charging and supplying power to mobile phones,laptops, desktops, servers, Flat TVs, DVD machines, shaving machines, hair dryers, LED lighting systemsand so…

The average individual in developed economies has actually more than 5 small AC/DC transformers forher/his different electric devices…

Those AC/DC transformers are always hot…and they are losing from 3% to 5% of the energy you areeffectively using…

Then, If all the appliance at home and at your work place actually work with DC power, why do you needAC power in you electric sock? Why do you need to lose 5% of the electricity you actually use and payfor it?

These questions have been solved for some companies.

In new construction surprisingly, the up-front cost of the system for the project came in about 5 percentlower than traditional AC costs. This was largely because the team was able to capture a number of cost

savings associated with a DC system including eliminating the need for a backup generator. “Becausethe battery gives you a minimum of an hour of full load capacity, you no longer need a diesel generatorbackup system,”

Look at this interesting article from city of Fort Collins, Colorado’s municipal services complex.

So, Developed Economies could start to save some electricity at the Demand Side…
