“…Finally, this variable was used as an output in the DEA stage and the efficiency performances of electricity distribution services were determined, accordingly. Saulo et al [19] presented an overview of electricity distribution system planning by comparing the short-term planning approach with the long-term vision-oriented planning approach. In the comparison of short-and long-term plans, it has used a simple multi-attribute rating (SMART) technique as a multicriterion decision-making method.…”

Efficient and uninterrupted energy supply plays a crucial role in the quality of modern daily life, while it is obvious that the efficiency and performance of energy supply companies has a significant impact on energy supply itself and on determining and finetuning the future roadmap of the sector. In this study, the performance and efficiency of energy supply companies with respect to productivity is investigated with reference to a case study of an electricity distribution company in Turkey. The factors affecting the company’s performance and their corresponding weight have been determined and obtained using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and the Fuzzy AHP methods, two well-known multi-criteria decision-making methods, which are widely used in the literature. The results help demonstrate that the criteria obtained to evaluate the company’s energy supply performance play a crucial role in developing strategies, policies and action plans to achieve continuous improvement and consistent development.

“…Utility benefits: These are benefits that the power provider experiences in providing energy services to its customers. The power utility will benefit most from the decrease in energy consumption, which means less pressure on its transmission lines and thus a reduction in transmission losses (Saulo et al, 2010a;Saulo et al, 2010b). Reduced pressure on transmission lines means the power provider will be able to defer transmission line generation, distribution investments or upgrades.…”

“…In most cases, the financial institutions who are supposed to fund the EE pro-grammes are not willing to fund the EE project as long as the company is doing financially well. In some countries, market development of EE programmes is hindered by poor energy policies and practices (Painuly et al, 2003;Berg, 2015;Saulo et al, 2010a). For example, in countries where there is poor electricity revenue collection, most entities do not value the need to reduce their electricity bills since they will anyway not be paying for the actual electricity usage.…”

Recent policy discussions on energy use in Zimbabwe sparked interest in the economic case for energy efficiency, suggesting the need to investigate the relevant costs and benefits. This paper investigated the potential of energy efficiency in manufacturing industries in Zimbabwe. Data collection was done using questionnaires, walk-through audits and semi-structured interviews. The data set was then analysed using regression analysis. The results show that there would be significant potential energy saving in Zimbabwe through adopting various energy efficiency programmes. The main energy efficiency barriers identified were: poorly structured electricity tariffs; risk of production disruption; resistance of operational staff to a changed working style; lack of coordination between company divisions; lack of information on energy efficiency programmes; and lack of support from senior management on issues that relate to energy efficiency. A straightforward energy efficiency policy framework is proposed, and three main players identified, namely government, energy regulator, and research institutions.

“…Additionally, power theft would degrade power quality; therefore, a custom power device known as a distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) has been placed on a weak distribution system to decompose the issues of power quality [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37].…”

This paper presents a prototype model of real-time rampant power theft detection and compensating the required power current components through switching of distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) using IoT (Internet of Things) based microcontroller via the GSM module. In this case study, an Internet of Things (IoT) application is used to wirelessly transmit data of the difference of smart meters through intelligent current sensors with ESP8266 module. Transmitted pulse sequences find out the derivatives of functions at discrete points through weight function. A weighting function includes power theft detection information in the pulse sequence series form. It computes the unknown sample of pulse in the line that identified the power theft and the quality of the power supply. The sequence error of the of energy meter units communicates microcontroller through the IoT. Microcontroller communicate to μ-PMU to addressed power quality error with a GPS receiver in the line. Based on weight function an algorithm has been developed for switching DSTATCOM for compensation of power quality. The reference and feedback quantities’ resultant errors are sampled within a time rate of the weight function. This control approach is applied with dynamic load to analyze the power quality issues. The results are implemented in MATLAB Simulink and validated experimentally for power theft detection and its compensation in low voltage distribution system.
