Assessment of Electricity Consumption Characteristic: Textile Factory Case Study

Öz

Currently, electrical energy tariffs are a crucial factor in the electricity market, as they significantly impact the decisions made by end users. They play a vital role in the effectiveness of energy management systems (EMS). Tariffs are not solely considered a fixed component of expenditure calculations. Instead, they are indirectly linked to the costs of power generation, electricity transmission, and electricity distribution, as well as other determinants such as government taxation. In certain regions, improper tariff calculation methodologies have resulted in substantial power losses, superluous investments, increased operating costs, and environmental pollution because of the underutilization of available renewable energy sources. This study examined the electrical energy consumption values and characteristics of an integrated textile factory. Additionally, analyses were conducted on the electricity tariffs published by the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA) Electricity Energy Market management, in order to decrease the electrical energy consumption costs of the textile factory. Based on the findings of the analyses, suggestions were put forward for regulating the electrical energy consumption characteristics and reducing the electrical energy consumption costs.
