Specificity of energetic functioning of economic activity objects

Abstract

Ecology is strongly related to the quality of energy management and to limiting the negative impact of the technosphere on the environment. This work refers to the analysis of energy quality and power balances in different, due to the specificity of functioning (used electrical equipment), business facilities. The research was carried out for supply networks: in the bank building, in the IT laboratory and in the office and warehouse facility. The measurements of currents, voltages, active, reactive and apparent power in individual phases of power supply system as well as distortions (higher harmonics) of currents and voltages were carried out. The research was carried out to identify irregularities in the networks and to indicate ways to limit the effects of electromagnetic disturbances (mainly higher harmonics) as well as achieve improvements in energy efficiency and ecology in the operation of these facilities.
