The weather is becoming more and more complex, the heatwave lasting for a long time has caused a sudden increase in electricity consumption. This has led to the risk of electrical incidents, which endanger people's lives. The article will provide useful information to help us use electricity safely and economically this summer.
The cause of an electrical problem
Every year, when the heat occurs on a large scale, the power companies are always ready to provide supplies and human resources to deal with situations of people's rising demands on cooling equipment usage.
However, according to records across the country, there is still the phenomenon of power outages due to fire circuits, overloading circuit breakers, directly affecting the daily life and work of the people. The cause of power failure in some households was initially identified as power line overload, due to lots of electrical equipment usage at the same time.
Authorities strive to ensure electricity to prevent the risk of incidents on hot weather
In 2020, due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic and the complex weather causing prolonged heat, it is forecasted that the situation of electricity demand will be unpredictable, causing grid overload in this summer. In order to prevent the risk of electricity incidents, the authorities have tried to implement many different plans to ensure electricity for the people as following:
- Conducting grid assessment, thereby developing a summer 2020 power supply scenario. Power companies continue to review, update, and conduct analysis and assessment of load data by region and load characteristics, thereby forecasting load close to reality, imaging possible scenarios, and solutions for appropriate power supply at the unit.
Heated electric repair technology is widely applied
- It is expected that in 2020, EVNHANOI will focus on investing in the construction of the 110kV power grid project; raising capacity and installing new transformers for ten of 110kV stations; 249 medium-voltage and low-voltage projects were energized in the first six months of the year, especially the construction progress is being sped and soon put into operation urgent 110kV power grid projects to ensure the supply of electricity to Hanoi Capital city.
- The work of coping with thousands of shifts is strengthened to promptly handle electrical incidents; the situation of weather changes is monitored regularly when the ambient temperature is ≥ 36 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the electricity supply is constantly reduced except for emergencies in danger of incidents threatening electricity system safety.
What people need to do to prevent the risk of electricity incidents
# 1 Use electricity economically and effectively
Small actions such as turning off electricity when not in use, unplugging unnecessary electrical equipment, and so on will help minimize the amount of electricity consumed in the family.
#2 Limit use of devices that consume a lot of power during peak hours
During the time frames from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm and from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm daily, the demand for electricity of the people is always high, therefore, to prevent overload of electricity, we need to limit the consumption of too many electrical appliances at the same time.
#3 Use your air conditioner appropriately
It should be prior to using energy-efficient types of air conditioners and keeping the temperature from 26 degrees Celsius and above. Air conditioning temperature should also be different from the outdoor temperature of 10 to 12 degrees Celsius, both reasonable in terms of reasonable power consumption while ensuring our own health.
Each individual and family using electricity in an economical and intelligent way is the most effective method to support the authorities to create a safe summer without electrical problems. It is also important to note that it is essential to choose quality conductor products with suitable cross-sections for the capacity used to avoid the problem of electric overload resulting in unexpected problems.
