Power Quality Impact on the Industrial Sector: A Case Study of Bangladesh

Nowadays, industrial sectors are suffering from electrical power crisis due to the shortage of generation capacity, insufficient conservation, and ineffective supervision. In this investigation that have studied the industrial sector's effects on the power crisis. There are selected 57 industries which have visited and then analyzed the collected data accurately. This research investigates the impact of electrical disturbances caused by severe power outages and analyzed. Two methodologies have been developed and used for this research. One depends on the industrial consumer's survey, and others depend on mathematical models that are considered on unavoidable recreational estimates. It has found that a large number of industries are suffering from the power crisis that is facing different types of losses, and some industries have taken different back-up procedures to overcome the losses. The mentioned failures, due to the different types of interruptions, cause a massive economic loss in these industries and afterward lower the gross domestic product. The back-up power generator and a captive power plant is an appropriate option to prevail with this problem, but these are costly and have environmental pollution. This research increases the awareness of energy conservation and the implementation of an aggressive program that can direct the industrial sector in reducing this massive destructive influence on the economic system. This article offers new statistics and information that can be used in various kinds of cost-benefit analysis in the Planning and operation of the power system in the Industrial Sector.
