Abstract

This paper presents an assessment by integration of LED T8 tube lamps in academic buildings for energy efficiency considerations. The proposed project was implemented in conjunction with a national mission, national energy efficiency action plan (NEEAP) for 10-year implementation period of 2016-2025 in reducing allocation on subsidies for efficient expenditure towards energy-saving measures. A case of study in a real environment at one of the UiTM’s buildings as a target task area has been tested by replacing a LED lighting technology in consideration of current operating costs and power factor performances. From the results, LED T8 tubes have shown a better power factor of 0.89 compared to fluorescent lamps with about 0.61 and primarily driven by economic benefits in terms of cost savings of up to 50% with return-on-investment (ROI) 6 months after installation. By integrating this technology, nearly 50% of the total energy consumption in indoor lighting system could be significantly saved, thus reducing the total cost of electricity bills in the future within the target area.

Abstract

In the context of a single buyer (SB) electricity market, this study provides an electricity tariff model developed using system dynamics (SD). Using data from the Malaysian electricity supply industry (MESI), the model was developed with the intent of evaluating the influence of load variation on Malaysia’s base electricity tariff. Given that Malaysia’s electricity demand has increased significantly over the past few years in unison with the country’s economic growth and modernization, this model is developed to investigate the relationship between the two. Moreover, the lack of a comprehensive MESI upstream market model that can monitor this issue was the impetus for this research. This study employed an SD approach, as it is a well-known technique for simulating complex systems and analyzing the existing dynamism between each variable and each system. This model can be a valuable tool for developing an electrical tariff model. Findings revealed that the base electricity pricing on the MESI upstream market is affected by load growth variation during the 30-year time. Since new power sources are needed to meet demand, the tariff becomes more expensive as the load increases. This model may benefit the utility or generating company plan for future generation.
