An Overview of Electricity Tariffs and Practical Optimization Approaches for Energy Billing at the University of Tipaza, Algeria

Abstract

This study focusses on increasing electrical energy utilisation to reduce energy costs, using the University of Tipaza as an example, which has seen significant increases in electricity expenditures.  The main objective is to optimise energy use by analysing historical consumption data, which results in the employment of specific strategies such power analysis and tariff changes.  The paper recommends strategic changes such tariff adjustments, limiting available power, and installing compensation devices in order to generate significant savings and align the energy cost with actual consumption.  These programs demonstrate how energy management in institutional settings may be greatly improved, with benefits for the economy and the environment.
