Abstract: (30 Views) |
Electricity intensity is an indicator of electricity efficiency and a strategic indicator in load management and modification of electricity consumption pattern. The main goal of this research is to analyze the electricity intensity in load management. For this purpose, electricity consumption data of Mazandaran province during the period of 2011-2021 have been collected by separating low load, intemediate load and peak load in different economic sectors and their electricity consumption has been decomposed into productive, structural and intensity effects. Based on the results of this research, intensity effect as the main factor in the growth of low-load and peak-load consumption has caused the decline in the efficiency of electric energy consumption during the investigated period. Also, although the production effect is the next important factor in the trend of low load and peak load of electricity consumption during the time period, it was the most important component in the total electricity consumption. The structural effect in the intermediate load consumption of the dominant component, but compared to the other two components and in general, it did not have a significant effect on the electricity consumption. In general, during the time period under review, the components of electricity consumption have been fluctuating and unstable, and based on this, it seems that the dynamics and components of electricity intensity are not paid enough attention in load management. Based on the findings of this study, along with the proper load management, a dynamic and long-term program is necessary for optimal load management. |
