'Earth hour' activity during electrical load and no obvious change as a whole

On March 31, 2007, the world wide fund for nature in Australia, each year in March last Saturday at 20 and 30 cents to 21, the public and the government, enterprises and other social from all walks of life close unnecessary electric light and power consumption products for 1 hour.

many friend still may have to worry about: flicked across the country for an hour, will adverse impact on safe operation of the national grid?

the composition of the urban power grid load including dynamic load, industrial load, residents live load, light load, air conditioning load, and many other factors. “ Earth hour & throughout; Part just shut down during the lighting load, accounts for the proportion of the total generating capacity is very low and had no significant effect overall safety operation of power grids. And industrial load factory starts at nine o 'clock every eight the rise, the evening shut down, compared to the drop impact to electric & other; Earth hour & throughout; Impact is not big. So, & other; Earth hour & throughout; During the activity and has no obvious change, the overall load of power grid in power system within the scope of normal load.

in order to confirm the idea of friends, small make up had an interview with too much power dispatch center. In 2012, & other; Earth hour & throughout; Activities, the cities electricity all have varying degrees of decline. Among them, the power saving 13 of Beijing. 860000 KWH, electricity saving 50000 KWH in dalian, xiamen, section 4. 10000 KWH. There are some old data, but it turns out that all lights out, power consumption is falling ~

in fact, in terms of a single family, one hour to turn off the lights to save electricity is very limited, only 1/8760 of the year. For the society as a whole, there is little to reduce the power consumption of the activity. During the activity, turn off the lights have to save their own electricity, machine, or a normal operation of power plants. Even the whole country to turn off the lights at the same time, the power plant machine, can't stop my normal electricity output, the electricity was not saved.

actually, & other; Earth hour & throughout; Is more of a call to promote energy conservation and environmental protection public welfare activities, to develop good habits of saving energy, rather than a environmental protection show. Save electricity saving energy in this matter, should be in our life every hour, and not just in & other; Earth hour & throughout; Activities.
