Reasons why it is NOT advisable to save electricity.

Executive Summary: Why is it better to manage energy instead of 'saving' it by turning everything off? Halting production or limiting comfort hurts profitability. Modern electrical engineering focuses on efficiency: producing the same or more while consuming less, through process optimization, automation, power loss correction, and efficient technology.

The administration of electrical energy and the rationalization of its use.Electrical energy is a non-palpable product in the manufacture of goods or to provide services. Not because it is not palpable, it is free, nor will we improve our level or quality of life. Electrical energy is part of the direct costs of the manufacturing and must thus be evaluated. To manage energy we must treat it the same as any other raw material in the world. manufactured products or services that are the object of the company. The actions to follow to be able to manage the energy are:· QuantifyThat is, knowing exactly the amount of energy consumed, not just the total by the company, but if possible by area or production line. Each company will decide how to divide your energy consumption measurement according to your production processes.· AssessEvaluation is the next step after measurement. This process consists of calculate the current quantity per unit produced and subsequently based on data statistics and information obtained from reliable sources, determine the amount that must consume with current processes and conditions. This will be the goal or objective to achieve in the short term. The evaluation also allows analyzing the options of different production processes and the different situations of competition at the national and international levels. In short, the evaluation places us where we are and indicates where we should go. direct us· OptimizeAfter having made a detailed evaluation of the energy consumption per unit of production and analyzed the different options of the available processes, we will proceed to raise the objectives to be achieved with the available resources, the objectives to be achieved with medium-term projects and recovery in less than a year. Finally, the objectives in projects that require profound changes in the production process, large-scale modification and manufacturing modernizations. This stage is what will mark the destiny of production in long-term plans. In the In highly industrialized and efficient countries, energy costs are of great importance in determining the production processes to choose.
