Load Shifting and Peak Clipping for Reducing Energy Consumption in an Indian University Campus

This paper analyzes the intelligent use of time-varying electrical load via developing efficient energy utilization patterns using demand-side management (DSM) strategies. approach helps distribution utilities decrease maximum demand and billing costs. A case study DSM implementation electric utility for an educational building Alagappa Chettiar Government College Engineering Technology (ACGCET) campus was simulated. The new optimum model established peak off-peak periods from system’s existing profile clipping shifting techniques. result reflects a significant reduction in 189 kW to 170 annual electricity cost $11,340 $10,200 (approximately 10%) upgraded system. work highlights importance time day (TOD) tariff structure consumers that aid their charges.
