GU10 Bulbs and Energy Efficiency

A lot of people are concerned about their energy consumption nowadays. Electricity isn't free, and what's more it causes damage to the environment through the burning of fossil fuels. As a result of this desire to reduce energy consumption, more and more people are turning to the latest in lighting technology. LED (or Light Emitting Diode) bulbs are only just making their way onto the consumer market, and are more energy efficient than standard halogen bulbs, reducing the impact on the environment and on your wallet. Some of the newer models with GU10 mounts only need 2 watts to work!

The change is a gradual one - the whole world isn't just going to start using these bulbs overnight - but the more people that start to make the change the better. Though GU10 LED bulbs can cost more than halogen bulbs, they can help you save money in the long run due to their higher energy efficiency, and their longer lifespan. The bulbs are designed specifically to be similar in shape and size to traditional halogen bulbs, so the transition can be made quickly and easily with as little fuss as possible.

\"Energy Efficiency\"

There are a few differences in the kind of light that LED and halogen bulbs produce, e.g. whereas halogen bulbs create a wide ray of light, LED bulbs create more of a focused beam. This makes GU10 LED bulbs ideal for focused lighting, but you have to take the differences into account when making the change. If you can get used to a more concentrated beam of light, make the change, but you may want to keep the wider beam of the halogen bulbs.

GU10 Bulbs and Energy Efficiency

As GU10 LED bulb use is still relatively a novel concept the output of the bulbs is still being improved but at the moment you do need to be aware that if you are looking for a higher light output then you will be required to pay extra for this. However, the extremely long life of LED bulbs will make up for this as you won't need to replace them as often as standard halogen ones. With LED light bulbs the old saying "you get what you pay for" really does apply.

Like standard halogen bulbs, LED light bulbs are available in a range of different colours so that they are useful for use in special purpose lighting. The colour is created by using filters and this actually improves the energy efficiency of the bulbs in comparison to a standard white light. So if you need different coloured lights for a special occasion then LED bulbs really are the way forward!

It is thought that low energy light bulbs such as LED bulbs actually use less than 20% of the energy of a standard halogen bulb and they even last up to 15 times longer. They are also a lot more durable than conventional bulbs as there are no glass tubes or anything to break and the internal parts are all resistant to vibration and impact.

If you are looking to lower your electricity bills and look after the environment at the same time then making the switch over to LED bulbs is a complete no-brainer!

Why is Wind Energy a Good Alternative Energy Source?

Wind energy is the best solution to most of our home energy bill problems. Now that there is an ongoing economic crisis and the price of everything is going up, it is highly recommended that we look for alternative energy sources that we can use. This is to cut down cost and help us save money. One of the best solutions is the wind energy.

In addition to helping us lessen our expenses on home energy, it is also environment friendly. Unlike most energy sources that release chemical substances into the atmosphere, wind generators only uses wind power. It has no other byproducts that can damage our atmosphere causing ozone thinning and many other related problems. The only thing that the wind generator will produce is the cheap energy that you can use in to power the appliances in your house.

Energy

However, having wind generators installed by experts may still cost much. For homeowners, it would not make sense if you have to spend thousands of dollars in something that will only reduce your home energy bill by a hundred dollars per month. You would need to use and wait for several years for your investment to pay back.

Why is Wind Energy a Good Alternative Energy Source?

To make this alternative energy source cheaper, you can install it by yourself. This is the reason why many homeowners now prefer to use this energy source. There is now an available guide to help us through the installation process. This systematic guide also has tips to ensure the proper installation of the wind generators. The guide or manual also contains information on the maintenance of the wind generator so that you do not have to contact a technician in case there something is wrong with your generator.

The DIY kit and the manual are much cheaper than the ready-made wind generator allowing you to save money even during the installation of it. All that you have to do is buy the kit, avail the manual and assemble it. Your wind generator will be up and running in no time saving you money from energy expenses. The guide is very easy to understand and includes some schematic plans to ensure that you are putting the right parts in the right position. If you are still having trouble installing the wind generator, you can look for help online.

Before putting up a wind generator, consider the location of your home. If you live in the city and surrounded by tall buildings, of course, wind generators is not applicable for you. As the name of this energy source implies, there should be wind to make it run and tall buildings can obstruct wind in reaching your house. For this, a suggestion is the solar panel as your alternative energy source.

How to Run Your Appliances More Efficiently to Save Energy and Money

This is the second in a series of Articles that have become The Energy Saver Challenge.  The first article concentrated on helping people save energy and money on their lighting bill.  The focus for now is on how your appliances can cost you unnecessary money, be using energy for which no benefit is derived and how you can do better for the environment and your wallet no matter what your circumstances. 

If you are in the market for a new fridge or freezer, dishwasher or oven or any other appliance for your home, now is the time to make some quality decisions.  It's not all about looks you know, these days it is just as important to select a model that will perform not only in the cooling/washing/looks department but also in the energy use department. 

\"save Energy\"

Look for a model that has the top energy rating.   A model with a high energy rating can save you a lot of money over the lifetime of the appliance.  Plus, you can know that you have made a choice that is a better deal for the environment too.  Now let's get into some useful detail.

How to Run Your Appliances More Efficiently to Save Energy and Money

Fridges and Freezers:

Did you know that your fridge and freezer account for a large proportion of the energy you use in your house?  The reason for this is they usually run all day and all night, every day of the year.  Learning how to use your fridge and freezer efficiently can make a big difference to how much energy you use.  This is all good news for the environment and for your electricity bill.  Most people are not in the market for a new fridge and there are some important things you can do to improve the performance of your current fridge and freezer.

The first is to give it a bit of a tune-up in terms of it's seals.

Are they airtight?

• You can check that by putting a piece of paper between the body of the fridge and the door. Shut the door and then tug gently on the paper.  If it comes out easily then your seal is not tight enough and that is costing you money 24/7!  It may be that the door hinges can be adjusted to improve the seal or perhaps it's time to get the seals replaced.
•  I read recently on an energy company website that an old inefficient refrigerator can use three times as much energy as a new one!  That means it costs you three times as much to run.  If you can check the seal and make that better or replace it, you will certainly benefit.

Many homes have an extra fridge in the garage, basement or even in the shed.  

The party fridge, the beer fridge, the Christmas overflow fridge - whatever it's name at your place, it is costing you money.  Up to 0 a year!  So ask yourself a couple of questions:

• Is it necessary for this fridge to be turned on all the time or could you just turn it on when it is actually needed?  This will cut your energy consumption and save you a stack of money.
•  Do your really need the second fridge at all?  I mean, how bad is the refrigeration situation?  Was it a good idea once upon a time and now circumstances have changed? 
• Perhaps the solution is to sell it to someone who really needs it.

Now we can look at some behavioural changes that can really cut into your energy consumption where the fridge is concerned.

First there is size.

• Is your fridge the right size for your needs?  We usually have our fridges for a long time, and often we are using a fridge that is no longer optimum for our needs.  I used to own a really big fridge because there were five of us in the house and we needed the room.  Now there are only three of us and we have a medium size fridge however, most of the time we could probably get away with one that was even a little bit smaller. 

Apparently fridges operate most efficiently when they are quite full.  

• That's the way they like it best.  So if you are looking in the door of your fridge and there isn't much in there and that is the way it usually looks - I can suggest that you are over capacity in the fridge department and it might be worth considering downsizing!

A couple of other tips to help your fridge keep more money in your wallet and create fewer greenhouse gases for the environment.

• It's best not to locate your fridge or freezer near your oven, or even if it gets sun on it.  Just makes it work harder and you know what that means! 

• Fridges need space - make sure there is a gap at the back near the ventilation coils so that it can work efficiently.  Around 80mm is recommended.
•  And last but not least, give the back of the fridge a bit of a dust now and then, this helps the ventilation system too - and you'll be amazed at what makes it way around the back of the fridge when you are not looking.

Dishwashers:

Mine is my husband and my son and I think they both have a 50 star energy rating!   Seriously though, washing dishes in the sink is a good thing and personally I think it's underrated as a family activity. 

Still if you must use a dishwasher think about it's energy rating when you buy it and see how many of these tips you can adopt in it's use.

• Only run the dishwasher with a full load - it uses the same amount of energy (and water!) whether it's full or half full so it just makes sense to wait until it's full right? 

• Then don't let the machine dry the dishes for you - program it to stop before the drying cycle and just open the door - the dishes will dry themselves without any extra energy needed at all.

Your stove or oven:

Once again if you are buying new, go for the highest energy rated appliance you can afford - it will keep saving you money for the whole of its life.

One big tip is to only use your oven when you actually need to.

• Frying pans, pressure cookers and crock pots and even microwave ovens are more energy efficient if what you are cooking can be created in them. 
• If you are going to use your oven, check that the door closes fully and that there is a good seal when it is closed.  No point in paying for all that energy to warm it up if it is just going to escape out around the door. 
• This applies equally to electric or gas ovens. 

Now to the cook top.

• Did you know that just putting the lid on the pot will substantially lessen the amount of energy required to cook what is in it? 
• Plus, if you ensure that the right pot goes on the right hotplate or burner (not too big, or small) then you will also save substantially in both energy and time.  Not to mention the money!

So how can you save energy in the laundry? 

That washing machine now gets the energy efficiency treatment.  You know the deal by now with the energy rating if you are in the market for new appliances right?  I know you have a good idea of what to look for now. 

The first tip is to wash in cold water.

• I've not washed in hot or warm water for decades and I'd love to know how much energy and money that has saved me.  I also recently had to buy a new machine and went for one of those front loading varieties.  I have to say, I like it very much and it uses less water and less energy than an equivalent top loading machine so it appears I have made a good decision with that one. 
• As with the dishwasher, you will discover that your washing machine will use the same amount of energy whether or not there are a few items or a whole load so it makes sense really to wait until you have a full load of washing if you are trying to save energy and thus have more money in your pocket at the end of the month. 

Now, the bane of my life, clothes dryers.

I was given one as a wedding gift and I had it for about 15 years before it finally coughed it's last load of soft fluffy clothes at me.  However, I had used it less and less as I realised just how much money it cost me each time I used it.  Eventually for the last three or four years it only got used in emergencies of weather or bad management on my part.

• If it is a sunny day, hang your washing outside.  I have a clothes line but I know others who use clothes airers and they work well too.  The sun dries them perfectly, the breeze softens the fabrics and they smell fantastic when you bring them back inside. 

• If you do use your dryer, never put dripping clothes in, always spin them first and make sure the lint filter is cleaned really regularly so that the machine can weave its magic for you as efficiently as possible. 

• Maybe you could trial drying your clothes and just finishing them off in the dryer as an interim measure on a wonderfully sunny day.

There are many other energy using appliances in our home that you may not have thought of.

Things like your iron, your microwave, your television, computer, dvd/video machine, stereo,gaming consoles.....  How on earth did we come to rely on energy so much for our daily lives. 

Most of these appliances now contain digital clocks and also standby lights.  Now this is all very well but how many clocks does one room need?  In my home, in the kitchen I have a clock on the wall, one on the stove and another on the microwave.  In the living room I think at last count there were four clocks in the TV cabinet!  What is this obsession with clocks on appliances? 

Now to get to the point.  I'll give you an everyday example as a means to make it - the microwave oven.  Most if not all homes now possess such an appliance.  They almost all come with a digital display that tells you all sorts of useful information like temperature and duration of cooking time while you are using them and that is great but once their job is done, they just sit there with their little display telling you the time. And using energy. 

• I use my microwave for less than 30 minutes a day and yet I allow it to use energy (and cost me money) for 24 hours per day.  That just does not make sense. 
• Turn it off at the switch when you are not using it. 
• It will not mind, it will not stop working. 
• Nothing terrible will happen.

The same goes for your stereo. 

• If you are not listening to it, turn it of. 
• Not just on the front, that will just let it sit there on standby mode, using power. 
• Turn it off at the switch.

And when you go to bed at night, all those things in the entertainment cabinet with their little red and green lights just begging you to turn them back on, are costing you money.  Don't listen, reach behind the cabinet and flick that switch!

Now here is the big sell for me about this one.

All those clocks, all those little red and green standby lights (including the ones on your computer!) add around 10% to your energy bill.  That means by creating the habit of turning them off when they are not being used, you could save up to 10% on each and every energy account you receive from this day forward.  Over your lifetime, that can add up to a lot of energy and a nice amount of money left in your bank account for something much more fun than paying the energy bill.

5 Ways to Save Energy at Home

The world is facing an energy crisis and we all want to do our part to help conserve what we can. Not only will you help the environment but you will also be able to save money. So here are 5 quick methods you can use to conserve energy at home.

1. Light Bulbs - Switch to CFLs or compact fluorescent light bulbs. The right CFL uses about 75% less energy and lasts up to 10 times longer. Additionally, they save about %2B in electricity costs over the lifetime of the bulb and produces 75% less heat. Although they cost a little more per light bulb, the long term savings are worth the purchase.

\"save Energy\"

2. Air Conditioner - Set the temp between 78 to 82 degrees depending on your comfort level and you will see a significant savings. Depending on the season, setting the thermostat too low will make the air conditioning unit run continuously or more often and setting the temperature too high will cause the unit to run longer to bring the temperature of the house down.

5 Ways to Save Energy at Home

3. Washing Machines - Washing machines and dryers account for about 10% of overall energy usage. Try to use cold water for wash and rinse. Run large loads instead of several small ones and if you can, try to get front-load washers since they use up to 2/3 less energy.

4. Electric Appliances - Unplug anything electric that is not in use. You'd be surprised how much you can save by simply unplugging your appliances.

5. Computer - It seems a lot of people leave their computers on. Do yourself a favor and turn off the computer and turn off your monitor when you are done using it.

Energy Saving Using Variable Speed Drives - Explanation of How to Save Energy Using Drives

Energy Saving - An introduction

Many systems use constant speed motors and control process flow rates or pressures by mechanically regulation using throttling valves, dampers, fluid couplings or variable inlet vanes etc. These devices generally do not control flow or pressure efficiently because energy is dissipated across the throttling device.

\"save Energy\"

Running a motor at full speed while throttling the input or output is like driving a car with one foot on the accelerator and the other on the brake; a part of the produced output immediately goes to waste.

Energy Saving Using Variable Speed Drives - Explanation of How to Save Energy Using Drives

A variable speed drive can save over 60% of the energy. This is possible as it controls the energy at source, only using as much as is necessary to run the motor with the required speed and torque - much in the same way as the accelerator in the car controls the engine revs and without the foot on the brake. Types of loads - which are suitable for energy saving?

Drive applications are categorized with respect to power and torque changes in response to the motors speed. It is important to understand the type of load for a particular application because not all are equally good energy saving opportunities for the application of a variable speed drive. In fact, if a variable speed drive is used on some loads there will be little or no energy savings.

Variable speed drives and the loads they are applied to can generally be divided into 3 groups:

- Constant power
- Constant torque
- Variable torque

Constant Power Loads

In constant power applications, the power requirement remains constant at all speeds, and the torque requirement varies inversely with speed. One example of this type of load would be a lathe. At low speeds, the machinist takes heavy cuts, using high levels of torque. At high speeds, the operator makes finishing passes that require much less torque. Other examples are drilling and milling machines.

Typically, these applications offer no energy savings at reduced speeds.

Constant Torque Loads

In constant torque loads, the power is directly proportional to the operating speed. Since torque is not a function of speed, it remains constant while the power and speed vary proportionately. Typical examples of constant torque applications include conveyors, extruders, mixers and positive displacement pumps. Usually these applications result in moderate energy savings at lower speeds.

In variable torque load applications, both torque and power change with speed. Torque varies with speed squared, and power varies with speed cubed. This means that at half speed, the power required is approximately one eighth of rated maximum. Common examples of variable torque loads are centrifugal fans, blowers and variable discharge pressure pumps.

The use of a variable speed drive with a variable torque load often returns significant energy savings. In these applications the drive can be used to maintain various process flows or pressures while minimizing power consumption. In addition, a drive also offers the benefits of increased process control, which often improves product quality and reduces scrap.

Effective speed ranges are from 50% to 100% of maximum speed and can result in substantial energy savings.

How do variable speed drives achieve energy saving with variable torque loads?

Variable speed drives regulate the speed of motors and in turn the speed of the fan or pump by controlling the energy that goes into the motor rather than restricting the flow of a process running constantly at full speed.

A variable speed drive can save over 60% of the energy as it controls the energy at source, only using as much as is necessary to run the motor with the minimum speed and torque.

Large amounts of energy can be saved on fan and pump systems, because of the affinity laws for pressure and flow rates.

The Affinity laws state -Flow is directly proportional to speed Torque is directly proportional to speed squared Power required is proportional to speed cubed Therefore, this means that if 100% flow requires full power 75% flow requires 0.753= 42% of full power 50% flow requires 0.53= 12.5% of the power

Mechanical control methods such as inlet guide vanes, throttling valves, discharge dampers do not take advantage of the affinity laws.

With mechanical flow control methods the motor always runs at full speed and the flow is mechanically restricted.

A variable speed drive saves energy by reducing the actual speed of the motor when full flow is not required.

Example A fan is running at fixed speed (50Hz) and the output from the fan is restricted by a discharge damper to restrict airflow to the correct level for the process. The input power is typically 95% of full load power.

A variable speed drive is fitted to the system and the discharge damper removed so there is no restriction to airflow. The speed of the motor is reduced to 40Hz which gives the same airflow as before when the motor was run at full speed and a discharge damper used. Now the input power is typically 50% of full load power.

Therefore by using a variable speed drive, the power being consumed is reduced by typically 45%.

Centrifugal Fans Massive potential energy savings using a variable speed drive compared to the two most common methods of flow control for fans: - Inlet guide vanes require about 60% power to give a flow rate of 50% - A discharge damper requires a huge 90% power to give 50% flow

Centrifugal Pumps - Operating at 75% flow requires less than 50% power, whilst the throttling valve requires around 90% power.

Centrifugal fan - Typical input powers

The following table shows the typical input power to a motor when run at full speed with flow rate is restricted by an outlet damper compared to the typical input power when the same motor is run at reduced speed from a variable speed drive, achieving the same air flow rate as with the outlet damper. It can be seen that if an outlet damper reducing the air flow rate to 80% uses 95% input power, a variable speed drive achieving the same air flow rate uses 50% input power.

Other advantages of variable speed drives

o A variable speed drive can also make it possible to stop a motor completely when it is not required as re-starting with a variable speed drive causes far less stress than starting direct on line - soft start is an inherent feature of the drive.
o Regulating the motor speed has the added benefit of easily accommodating capacity rises without extra investment, as speed increases of 5-20% is no problem with an AC variable speed drive as long as there is enough spare capacity in the system.
o Reduced maintenance compared to DC systems (brushes and commutators)
o Reduced motor/application noise levels.
o If the variable speed drive has an internal PID loop, it will be possible to automatically control flow or pressure based on feedback from a sensor within the system. This can make further energy savings as the motor can slow right down if very little flow or pressure is required.

Another method of saving energy

Most companies forget about the motors when considering energy saving. As well as saving money by installing a variable speed drive, installing high efficiency motors can also save energy and money. Please see the enclosed document for further details on high efficiency motors. Motor Control Warehouse can supply EFF1 accredited motors. Please take a look at our website for further details.

Example of energy saving using a variable speed drive

A 30kW pump operating for 16 hours during weekdays and 12 hours during week ends, total of hours per week = 92 hours.

Energy Cost at constant speed Energy consumption per week - 30kW x 92hours = 2760kWh Assume electricity rate is 10p per kWh Energy cost per year - 2760kWh x £0.10 x 52 weeks = £14352

Energy Cost at variable speed Assume average speed is 75% which corresponds to 42% power consumption Energy consumption per week - 0.42 x 30kW x 92 hours = 1159.2kWh Energy cost per year - 1159.2kWh x £0.10 x 52 = £6027.84 Value of energy saved per annum by using a variable speed drive £14352 - £6027.84 = £8324.16

NOTE: This calculation is just an example using a figure of 10p/kWh but gives a good guide as to what can be saved by using variable speed drives. For a more accurate value of possible energy savings, a full survey including tests would be required

How Power Savers Work - Basic Buying Tips

Can you really save 40% on your electricity bills by plugging a small box into your AC socket?

In the past six month a number of products have been advertised on TV and online which seem too good to be true. I'd like to explain the reality of these exciting claims and give you a layman's understanding of how Power Savers work.

\"save Energy\"

A Power Saver is a device which you plug in to your power socket. Apparently just by keeping the device connected it will immediately reduce your power consumption. Typical claims are savings between 25% and 40%.

How Power Savers Work - Basic Buying Tips

The technology behind Power Saver units comes from German research coupled with Asian manufacturing and it is based on sound scientific principles.

Electricity is not stable. When electricity flows the voltage can rise and fall all the time. The rises in voltage are known as 'spikes' and they cannot be used by your appliances at all. All these spikes do is waste your electricity. These power spikes also convert electrical energy into heat energy which leaks power from your circuit. Not only that but the heat will also do long-term danage to your wiring and to your appliances.

There are a few Power Saver models on the market but they all work along the same principle. They store the electricity inside of it using a system of capacitors and they release it in a smoother way to normal without the spikes. The systems also automatically remove carbon from the circuit which also encourages a smoother electrical flow. This means that you will have less power spikes. More of the electricity flowing around your circuit can be used to power your appliances than before.

There are many factors which do affect the efficiency of your Power Saver. The device works immediately after plugging it in although it can take as long as 8 days before it has adjusted itself for peak performance. The rate of savings will depend on what kind of appliances you have connected. All appliances are different but expect savings of up to 25% on lights, 30% on air-conditioning units and up to 35% on other appliances.

The highest savings will be in areas where voltage supply is less stable. Locations close to shops, restaurants and light industries tend to gain additional savings from Power Saver devices.

So how can you be sure that your Power Saver is working correctly?

Most often Power Savers come fitted with a light to indicate that it is working. If you have access to an electricity meter then you should see it immediately slowing down. Assuming that the light is on and that you leave the device unattended you can expect savings immediately. Be aware that often electricity companies will not take meter readings each month. Often bills are calculated on monthly averages which self-correct over time so please be aware of that in using your bill as a guide.

Finally, it is highly recommended to order your Power Savers from companies offering 100% guarantees for longer than 30 days. Remember that 30 days may not be sufficient time to truly know if the device is working as effectively as you expect. Try to work with companies that extend their guarantee dates to at least 60 day which gives you a much longer period to assess the benefits.

Residential Wind Turbines - Save Money, Save Energy, Save the Environment

Money, energy saving, and the environment are three issues that concern many people in the world, and they are all tied together. Rising oil and coal prices lead to higher electricity prices, which lead to the general will to save energy which will also save the environment. Unfortunately, it is not easy to accomplish all these tasks together without doing anything. But when doing something, like installing wind turbines, devices that produce energy from the wind, it all becomes easy.

The rising electricity bill is a big concern these days with expensive oil. Fortunately, wind turbines do not require any oil or other fuel to operate, and they generate free electricity. Since the energy from wind turbines powers your home appliances, you need less electricity from the electric company. As a result, you electricity bill shrinks. If you have enough wind turbines to produce more electricity than you consume, you can sell it to the electric company and get paid for it. Your wallet will be happy.

\"save Energy\"

Energy saving and green thinking is a major point of many companies today. Most appliances have an efficiency rating, so you can choose the one that gives the most work for the electricity invested. However, this is still not enough to be independent from electric companies. Wind turbines generate electricity for you, so you save much more energy from oil and coal.

Residential Wind Turbines - Save Money, Save Energy, Save the Environment

Environmentalists like to complain about the pollution from electric companies, and they are right. Electricity generation is a very polluting process. However, the use of wind turbines is completely pollution free. Not a single molecule of carbon dioxide or any other polluting substance will be released in the process. You save money, you save energy, and you save the environment.
