Abstract
A metro rail company in India has recently completed first phase of its construction work and started operation of its services. Utilization of electrical energy contributes to major part of the operational cost and therefore must be carefully planned to provide economical service to customers. Considering the increase in electricity tariff each year, management and conserving of energy is very important. This paper gives a brief insight into energy utilization of above company during its service period. It is important to understand the composition of electricity bill for effective electricity cost reduction. From the analysis it is found that during the operational period of the metro rail the power factor has decreased significantly. The increase in reactive and apparent power during this period and its effect on power factor variation are discussed.
Keywords- Metro rail, Reactive power, Power factor, Energy utilization, Energy cost
