5. Electricity Sector in Bangladesh
Bangladesh per capita generation is 220 KW hr which
is comparatively lower than other developed
countries in the world
Nevertheless, Bangladesh is progressing through a
phase of development where automation is the key
to its economy and business
Installed electric generation capacity: 6,658 MW
Only three-fourth of which is considered to be
available
Only 47% of the population has access to electricity
6. Electricity Sector in Bangladesh
Installed capacity (Feb 2011): 6,658 MW
Derated generation capacity: 5,480 MW
Generation: 3,900-4,300 MW
Maximum generation (Feb 2011): 4,699 MW
Peak demand: 5,800 MW
Access to electricity: 47%
Per capita generation: 220 KW hr
Surveys show nearly 14% of electricity is
consumed unintended, i.e. as waste
7. Problems in the Sector
Corruption in administration
High system losses
Delays in completion of new plants
Low plant efficiencies
Erratic power supply
Electricity theft
Blackouts
Shortages of funds for power plant maintenance
9. Need Recognition
As Bangladesh is not generating electricity up
to the mark, there must be a way to reduce
the crisis all over the country; there must be a
new way for saving electricity which is wasted
unnecessarily
10. Idea Generation
Saving the wasted power in a way so that it
can be distributed to other places and
moreover the project must be affordable to
dominant group of customers
Using a system that can automatically control
the redundant consumption of power
11. New Product Development
• Using sensors such a way that would ideally
switch on/off a room’s power supply if
someone passes through it
• It would have control upon all sorts of
light, fans, air-conditioner, refrigerator and
other appliances
• Customers shall have other option if they
require not to use this service during specific
time
21. Why Synchronodes?
Power Saving up to 14%
Shrinking unintentional wastage of electricity
Lessening Electricity bill
Reduce power crisis and load shedding
Saved power can be delivered elsewhere
Social and Economic benefit of Bangladesh
22. • Mission: Saving unnecessary consumption of
Electricity
• Vision: Generating and distributing power all over
the country with proper stability
• Slogan: “It’s all about wise electricity”
• Logo:
