Automatic Electric Power Regulation Devices (AEPRD)

Problem and implemented solution

Energy is one of the basic human needs. The Ethiopian government works extensively on hydropower generation. More than 35% of the generated energy is wasted due to a lack of technology in delivering it to the consumer. Most industries in Ethiopia have problems with proper energy use. There is a lack of awareness on the part of the customer that they will be charged for reactive power and pay a penalty for the low power factor. This technology reduces wasted reactive power and provides voltage balancing and harmonic filtering. Automatic Electric Power Regulation Devices (AEPRD) is an innovative technology that improves energy use efficiency through technological innovation by using the software design printing circuit board (PCB) and the programming language in C language for machine controlling the devices.
