Why consumers are charged based on Kwh basis why not on
Kvah basis.
Answer Posted / raj
Yeah... now industrial consumers are billed on KVAH only in Andhra Pradesh. Actually, this way of billing is the correct method to curtail low power factor problem in industries. In this case, we calculate the energy as below.
apparent energy,kvah = active power (kw)in each time block /power factor in each time block
Note : 1.presently the meters are designed for 15 minutes blocks.
2. In this billing method, the discoms dont penalize seperately for low power factor(as we already considered in thecalculation of apparent power.)
In the case of domestic, energy is billed for kwh only as it is uneconomical to place trivector meters ( as they consume less power and thier impact is very low on grid compared to industrial consumers )
