除了电网维护,这个原因也会导致突然停电!

相信在澳洲生活久了的朋友一定都遇到过电网维护或者一些极端天气下停电的现象。对于这种现象,小胖伏之前在《停电后,这些紧急应对措施你知道吗》已经为大家详细介绍过了。
但是,除了电网的定期维护或者极端天气原因导致的停电,还有一个现象,也会导致家里紧急停电,那就是家用电器的故障(包括短路和漏电等)
最近我们有几个顾客都遇到了类似的停电原因。顾客表示,在他们尝试着去搬动电闸的时候,电闸总是会弹下来。很多人在这种时候都以为是电闸出现了问题,应该找电工进行维修,但是却不知道,大部分出现这个现象的原因都是因为家里的某些电器故障了,触碰到了电闸的保护装置,导致电闸总会弹下去。
那么接下来,小胖伏就来告诉大家在出现了电器故障,紧急停电以后,我们应该如何排查出故障电器,并且恢复电力。除此之外,小胖伏还将告诉大家,除了停电,还有哪些现象可以告诉你,你家的电器出现了漏电的现象

停电后,应该如何排查故障电器?

在我们家里突然停电之后,我们首先应该去看的就是家里的电闸。看看电闸有没有出现跳闸的现象。

如果电闸出现了跳闸的现象,并且在扳动电闸时,电闸总是无法扳上去,则说明,很有可能是你家的某些电器出现了短路或者漏电的现象!

这个时候,如果家里有两个人,就可以一个人负责查看电闸的情况,另一个人负责逐个拔掉电器的电源,以排查出出现故障的家用电器。

如果在用户拔掉所有的电器之后,电闸依然无法扳上去,这个时候就很有可能是你家的电闸或者某些电路出现了问题。这个时候,用户则可以找一个电工前来查看一下情况。

如何检测家里电器是否漏电了?

一般来讲,当大型电器漏电或者短路时才会导致停电。但是,家用电器漏电是一个非常严峻的问题,那么我们平时应该如何检测家里是否有电器漏电呢?

最为直接的方式就是看电表

将家里所有的电器全部关闭20-30分钟左右,然后观察家里电表的指针或者电表的读数。如果电表的指针或者电表的读数出现了变化,则说明你们家里是有电器出现了漏电的现象的。这个时候,出于安全的考量,用户应该及时排查出漏电的电器。

VPP Smart Feed-in Algorithm: A Check-in
2022-05-18
By Javad Jazaeri, Discover Energy VPP Solution Manager In March 2022, Discover Energy launched the VPP Smart Feed-in Algorithm, which is currently helping our VPP customers in SA maximise the value of their solar feed-in by exporting their excess solar when it has a higher value. The algorithm uses machine learning to forecast load and generation at the household level based on the historical data, weather data, retail and network tariffs, and wholesale prices and then uses these forecasts to find the most valuable times to export electricity into the grid. In Discover Energy, we have been trialing this forecast-based algorithm for a number of our customers in South Australia. This figure from 17th May 2022, below shows how this algorithm changed the feed-in pattern for one of our customers. The excess solar and some of the stored electricity were directly fed into the grid in the morning when the feed-in had a higher value the grid needed more electricity. The total amount of solar being exported was the same, only the time of export was shifted to periods with higher feed-in value. The algorithm ensured that enough solar energy was available to fully charge the battery before the peak period.

Discover Energy Sales Update – May 2022
2022-05-12
13th May 2022 Current Discover Energy customers may be aware of upcoming changes to their rates and offers, while new or prospective customers may have noticed that we have closed the sales function of the website, and are currently not accepting any new sign-ups. Below is a short explainer on why we have made these changes. We hope to open up sales as soon as possible. If you have any queries please contact customerservice@discoverenergy.com.au , chat to us via the chat box or ring 1300 658 519. Why have we stopped selling? We will have to stop accepting any new customers on market offers as we are reviewing our current pricing for electricity and gas in all states and anticipate a SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE in prices for all customer usage on our gas and electricity plans.  And as such we would not like to welcome any new customers to Discover Energy with a price rise expected in the first week or two of being our customer. Why are we lifting prices? Wholesale prices are increasing  – AEMO* recently reported a 141% increase year on year and the Wholesale prices have continued to increase in April and May averaging nearly $200 NEM wide. So far in 2022 there has been unprecedented conditions in the wholesale market – prices of oil, gas and coal have seen significant increases because of world events such as the war in Ukraine and the after-effects of Covid-19 on energy supply chains have conspired to increase prices up to 500% in the case of spot gas.  Coal and gas generators (and hydro) have passed on these increases to their wholesale costs by pushing up the price they bid generation into the electricity market, with the bid prices for black coal, hydro and gas either tripling or doubling in the market.  This has pushed the cost forward of the spot energy that small retailers must purchase to supply our customers.  And as we don’t make money when the wholesale market price increases, we have no choice but to pass these increases onto our customers. As a small growing Retailer this price rise affects us adversely because we don’t own large coal or gas generators we just buy excess solar from our customers via feed-in-tariffs; and unfortunately the value of solar in the market has been declining at the same time as the price for peak energy has been increasing. *See AEMO quarterly dynamics report https://aemo.com.au/-/media/files/major-publications/qed/2022/qed-q1-report.pdf?la=en&hash=981BA7016C0C9A25947F0F05198EDB96 What’s does the future look like for electricity prices and Discover Energy customers? In the short-term, the outlook for electricity prices suggests that the prices will likely remain elevated. In the medium term, it is difficult to imagine that coal and gas prices will remain as high as they have been so far in 2022, and so the market expectation is for prices to fall in coming years. As soon as prices are reduced, Discover Energy will share any reductions with our customers.  However, the energy industry is going through a major transition where we would expect some further price volatility as the incumbent generators seek to extract as much value from their old generators and the market adjusts to a high renewable and high storage grid.  What can customers do now? Unfortunately, all electricity and gas retailers will be forced by the current circumstances to change their prices. At Discover Energy, we will proactively contact customers who recently joined OR who have high peak or annual usage to let them know a change to their rates is coming and discuss what options they have to best manage their bills.  This might be to check the government websites such as Energy Made Easy to find a better plan, or move onto a time of use tariff if the customer can lower their consumption in peak periods (generally weekdays – morning and evening). What about VPP and Solar? Discover Energy will continue to support the uptake of Solar and Battery installations in Australia.  In fact, we expect that the current electricity market will drive more customers to want to install solar and battery and we will be able to facilitate these installations by our extensive installation partner network thanks to our partner organisation One Stop Warehouse.  We will continue to operate our VPP platform and innovate via new smart EV charging and other new technologies that will support our customers and help insulate them against future price rises.
