Which of the following statements are correct? (i) Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is typically more automated and allows real- time, on-demand interrogations with metering endpoints. (ii) An Automated Meter Reading (AMR) device only communicates from the customer to the energy supplier. (iii) AMR meters only provide kWh information and possible peak kW demand for the month.
Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is an integrated system of smart meters, communications networks, and data management systems that enables two-way communication between utilities and customers. The goal of an AMI is to: Provides utility companies with real-time data about power consumption and allow customers to make informed choices about energy usage based on the price at the time of use.
In this type of tariff, The total charge is divided into two components: fixed charges and running charges. The fixed charges depend upon the number of units consumed by the consumer. It can be expressed as Total Cost = [A (kW) + B (kWh)] Rs. A = charge per kW of max demand (A is a constant which when multiplied with max demand (kW) gives the total fixed costs.) B = charge per kWh of energy consumed (B is a constant which when multiplied with units consumed (kWh), gives total running charges.)
For the cut-in speed is the point at which the wind turbine is able to generate power. Between the cut-in speed and the rated speed, where the maximum output is reached, the power output will increase cubically with wind speed. Pmax directly propotional to cubical of wind speed. So, by double the speed of wind power will be increased by 8 times.
1.6 inches = 1.6 inches x 1,000 mils per inch = 1,600 mils 0.25 inch = 0.25 inch x 1,000 mils per inch = 250 mils Area = 1,600 x 250 = 400,000 square mils
