Innovation in Electric Reinforcing for Household

Abstract

The study of Innovation in Electric Reinforcing for Household aimed to: 1) study electrical energy consumption state of household, 2) develop innovation in electric reinforcing for household, and 3) study the effectiveness of using the innovation in electric reinforcing for household. The sample house is 69/1 Moo 11, Khanom sub-district, Khanom district, Nakhon Si Thammarat. The data were collected from the electrical energy meter for electrical appliances and statistics on the electrical energy consumption before using the innovation. Additionally, the effectiveness was compared between the statistical electrical energy consumption prior and after the innovation which were in year 2012 and year 2016.  The result of the study according to the objectives were as follows. 1) The electrical energy consumption state of household sample requires daily average usage of 13.9 kWh of electrical energy consumption, and the statistical electrical energy consumption in 2012 is 19,386.9 baht. 2) The Innovation in Electric Reinforcing for Household is consisted of the use of LEDs instead of fluorescent tubes, the use of air circulation instead of air conditioning, and the development of Smart Hybrid power plant producing 3,000 watts from solar cells. 3) The effectiveness of the Innovation in Electric Reinforcing for Household is estimated from the electricity cost in 2016, which is 1,544.6 baht. The electricity cost is 91.9% less than the regular costs, and the payback period is 7 years.
