Unplug the plug of "stealing electricity" electrical appliances

Household appliances such as air conditioners, routers, televisions, set -top boxes, etc., even if it is not used, it will still consume power as long as it is not pulled out. This is called standby energy consumption. If calculated by consumption of 0.2 degrees of electricity per day, a small and medium -sized cities with a population of 5 million people (according to 1.9 million households), the annual standby energy consumption of nearly 139 million kWh.

In the absence of electrical appliances, it was "stealing" nearly 139 million kWh a year, which is undoubtedly a huge waste. And this waste is hidden in the habits of people's daily life, and it is not easy to detect. Many people don't even know.

For example, when some families do not use the set -top box, they often do not pull out the plug. The power of the set -top box is about 15.48 watts, and the power at the standby is about 15.2 watts. The power consumption of the two is almost the same. If you calculate it for 15 hours a day, it consumes about 0.2 degrees of electricity. For some people, this cost is not large and easy to be ignored. But similar waste will accumulate, and it will also increase the burden on the family.

From a larger range, at present, the power supply and demand in some areas will be tight in local hours. The remaining energy consumption volume will increase the burden of local power supply, especially during the peak period of electricity.

In this context, the plug of the "stealing electrical" electrical appliances has a strong practical significance and urgency to curb the waste of standby energy consumption. This summer, the power department's initiative to the residents also mentioned that it is necessary to turn off the power in time when household appliances are not in use to reduce standby power consumption.

To curb the waste of standby energy consumption, it is urgent to strengthen the popularization of relevant electrical knowledge. For many users, it is not intentional waste. In media interviews, most users have said that "not knowing" "not much" or "never paid attention". In fact, the winning certification center had a household survey as early as 2003. At that time, the survey showed that the average standby energy consumption of urban families in my country is equivalent to these families with a long -sighted long light lamp every day. Essence However, in the past 20 years, many people still do not understand this, which shows that the popularization of relevant electricity usage knowledge is not in place.

It is difficult to change the habit of using electrical appliances in the family for a while, and some families put the fixed sockets of common appliances in a relatively hidden position for aesthetics during the decoration, which is inconvenient. Improving the corresponding standby energy consumption standards and strengthening supervision, forcing home appliance companies to reduce standby energy consumption through technology is a realistic path to curb the waste of standby energy consumption. As early as 2000, the International Energy Agency proposed a "1ww plan" that used the standby energy consumption of all global electrical products to 1ww. But this is not a compulsory standard. The planning effect is not ideal. At present, research institutions and enterprises should be encouraged to develop more technologies to reduce standby energy consumption and carry out extensive promotion.

Turn off the electricity constant, and the meter quietly walks. The standby power of the air conditioner is about 1.1 watts, the standby power of the desktop computer is about 3.5 watts, the standby power of the rice cooker is about 2.5 watts, the standby power of the range hood is about 2.2 watts, the standby power of the mobile phone charger is about 4 watts ... … This long standby energy consumption power data is to remind people to implement the awareness of power conservation to every living habit including diligently plugging plugs, and also urge home appliance companies to accelerate the pace of R & D and reduce standby energy consumption.
