What is KVAH Billing?
In kVAh (kilo volt ampere hour) based billing system, the fixed charges or demand charges are levied on apparent power (kVA) and energy charges are levied on apparent energy (kVAh). Because of kVAh billing system, Real and Reactive energies need not be charged separately.
Penalty on electricity bill
The paradigm shift in the tariff structure is going to have a huge impact on the way the power quality is maintained in any organisation having huge consumption of power in India.
Lot of states like Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Haryana, Punjab etc. have already introduced kVAh based tariff for various categories. This has made consumers focus of Power Quality or their organisations much more seriously.
The new structure is based on monitoring KVAH (the apparent energy) lead in totality instead of charging active and reactive energy separately. This billing is associated with an in-built PF incentive /penalty mechanism.
The implantation of KVAH billing will not only assure near unity Power Factor but also ensure a check on harmonic generation and pollution of the electrical grid, as harmonics have a direct effect on KVA which in- turn will reflect in the bill and warrant a penalty. Thus, encouraging consumers to retort to adopting energy efficiency programs.
This is where Power Matrix Solutions (PMX) will play a vital role. Power Matrix Solutions (PMX) is among the best Harmonic Filters and Power Factor solution providers in the country. Power Matrix Solutions (PMX) promises to keep Harmonics to the minimum, guarantees Power Factor between 0.97 – 0.99, thereby achieving optimum Power Quality which will garner incentives on the electricity bill.
