Abstract :
A unique solution is introduced to decrease the peak demand and to increase the electric reliability at the industrial facility, at midday time, by operation of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) at peak demand hours over 5 days, 6 hours every day, all the year. This is instead of enlarging the power supply resources due to moderate increase consumption at the industrial facility over the year. Moreover, two Diesel generators, are being used as backup supply and as substitute to the grid in hours of worthwhile incentive, so the total consumption from the Israel Electric Company (IEC) would decreased and the payment cost for consumption would be lowered.
