What is energy waste?
Energy waste refers to the national economic production and life due to a variety of factors lead to excessive consumption of energy and capacity overbuilding, energy waste including energy product waste, energy capacity waste, energy resource waste and energy management inefficiency of four types.
How should we reduce it?
The prerequisite for reducing resource waste is that we should understand what energy waste is and how the energy that is usually wasted is wasted, only then can we prescribe the right medicine and then accomplish the goal of reducing resource waste. Next, I will explain how to reduce energy waste from two aspects: household energy waste and industrial energy waste.
Reduce household energy waste.
1. Use energy-saving appliances. In our daily life, we often use some inefficient electrical appliances, compared with energy-saving appliances, they need to use more power to accomplish the same work. Therefore, using energy-efficient appliances can effectively reduce energy waste.
2. Focus on lighting and heating. Undoubtedly, there is no need to turn on the electric light when there is already enough natural light in the house that can be used for seeing. Heating, on the other hand, is another area where energy is wasted in the home. Regular checkups and repairs of the heating system are necessary, otherwise you will be faced with energy wastage while not getting enough heating. The electricity bill at the End of the month will also be more than you can imagine.
Reducing industrial energy waste.
1. Reduce standby consumption. Industrial machines constantly consume energy even when they are not in use and are on standby. Thousands of production machines in a factory are on standby for a long time, resulting in energy waste is also very scary. Therefore, it is very important to minimize standby consumption. Specifically, can be used to reduce energy consumption by replacing the standby automatically shut down or standby when the energy consumption of the machine is lower measures to reduce energy consumption.
2. Maintain machine temperature. If the machine is not well insulated, then more energy needs to be applied to maintain the temperature of the equipment. This situation can be reduced by replacing the equipment with better insulated equipment or installing insulation around the equipment to reduce energy wastage.
3. Use high efficiency motors. Inefficient motors have a very low energy conversion efficiency, resulting in a lot of wastage of electrical energy. Sometimes they consume electricity without even being used. In the long run, the use of high efficiency motors not only reduces costs for industry but also reduces energy wastage, which is really the best of both worlds.
The fundamental approach. Transition to new energy sources. Energy waste is not only reflected in the waste of electricity, but also in the process of power generation. In the process of power generation, there is also great waste.
The traditional way of generating electricity is thermal power generation, which only converts about one-third of the energy in fossil fuels into electricity, and the rest is dissipated in the form of heat energy. In the process, a lot of pollution is also generated.
New energy sources, including solar and wind power, are not only more efficient in energy conversion, but also green, natural and pollution-free. Not only that, in recent years, new energy related technology breakthroughs, power generation costs are greatly reduced, in many places, new energy power generation is cheaper than thermal power generation.
Summary
Energy waste is a serious test faced by the modern society; we should learn how to reduce energy waste. Of course, energy waste is also related to thermal power generation, compared with the backward and inefficient thermal power generation, similar to solar power generation system, such as new energy generation is the future trend.
