About

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 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.

This technology is registered with the Ethiopian Intellectual Property Authority under patent number ETUM1109B1 for industrially applicable Automatic Electric Power Regulation Devices (AEPRD).

 Innovative technology will contribute to creating new ideas, creating and developing technology, making and developing technology, creating job opportunities, and saving Energy in the country. The Technology will benefit both the supplier and the consumer.

The profile shows the establishment of an Automatic Electrical Power Regulation Device Industry with a production capacity for the first year in the capacity of 2.2% product are of 30 units of various KVAR ratings

The project's total investment cost including working capital and machinery is 20,449,173.15 Birr of which 6,000,000 Birr is required for machinery. When the project is fully operational, it will create employment opportunities for over 30 people. The Commercial Bank of Ethiopia covers the financing through a Finance loan. Operating expenses, projected income statements, loan repayment plans, and project cash flow tables are prepared to determine the project's financial viability.

 Based on this projection, the project will have a healthy liquidity position and will not face cash shortages throughout its life. The project shows a simple rate of return of 30% and a payback period of about 3.2 years. Generally, these financial indicators indicate that the project is viable and worth investing in.

The data is given from Ethiopian Electric Utility (EEU) the demand of customers is 30,993   from this data the power factor (PF) < 0.75 power factor Customers are 17,236, and the power factor (PF) < 0.9 customers are 26,620. From the customer 17,236 Must be installed AEPRD highly mandatory for the customer (high power loss in the systems) and also mandatory to install the power factor below 0.9 as EEU Recommended the customer 26,620 mandatory to installed AEPRD there is a large market in the country.

 As Jungle Power Engineering Industry Automatic Electric Power Regulation Devices Manufacturing Company is the first new technology in the innovative technological industry in Ethiopia, will be a profitable technology in the country.
