Waste 24 billion kilowatt hours of electricity in the steel industry

According to the economic correspondent of Fars News Agency, presenting inverted narratives of each event is probably one of the strategies to change the truth. This is a centuries-old media technique that has been used by humans, and you, as an audience, have probably had a close encounter with it.

Based on this, one of the recent reversals in the country’s economic environment is the role of cutting off energy carriers such as electricity on the production of the country’s steel industry. If we look at this issue superficially, naturally the shape of the subject indicates that in some seasons, such as the hot season, the imbalance of production and electricity consumption has caused pressure on part of the country’s industries, and through this power outage has reduced production. It creates these industries.

In this context, a closer look at the issue of industrial electricity indicates that the imbalance in electricity production and consumption is not a non-transparent and complex issue. In fact, if the relationship between industrial electricity consumption and imbalance becomes clear, the problem will change dramatically.

In this regard, to open the issue of the role of industries in the imbalance of electricity production and consumption to one of the most consumed ‌Most We went to the country’s industries in terms of using electricity.

* Production of 306 kWh per ton of steel wastes energy equivalent to electricity

According to information obtained from an academic paper, smelting and production per ton of crude steel before the processing stage in Iran to 800 KW The clock needs energy equivalent to electricity. This statistic was published while steel production in the leading countries of this industry is estimated at 494 kWh based on foreign sources, including the smelting process along with other materials.

Accordingly, the average electricity consumption of a steel plant in the country to produce one ton of steel is 62% higher than the amount of energy used to produce the same amount of steel in other countries.

Another meaning of this statement is that the production of each ton of steel in our country due to non-compliance with energy efficiency optimization policies at least wasted 306 kWh generates energy equivalent to electricity.

*wasted 24 billion kilowatt hours of electricity in the steel industry

Given that the statistics we have calculated to obtain information on the equivalent energy consumption of electricity to produce one ton of steel based on the average weight of production of intermediate steels, sponge iron and flat and long sections of steel, so multiply the number wasted Energy equivalent to electricity in the total iron production of the country in 1400 can be the amount of energy wasted Provide the whole result of ignoring energy efficiency policies.

According to the statistics obtained from the Iranian Steel Producers Association in April 1401, the amount of production of various steel products in the country is estimated at 77 million and 864 thousand tons. Multiply this number by 306 kWh wasted Energy per hectare of steel production indicates that in just one year 1400, equivalent to 23 billion 826 million 384 thousand kilowatt hours of electricity wasted in the steel industry.

*wasted Electricity in steels 3.5 times the total inequality of electricity production and consumption

Aware of the astronomical amount of energy wasted in the steel industry, we find that this part of the country’s industry due to disregard for consumption reform policies to a large window wasted And has become a major factor in the imbalance in the production and consumption of the electricity industry.

In this regard, Muhammad PourhamidSaid an expert in the field of energyوگو “To create a correct understanding of the dimensions,” he told the Fars News Agency economic reporter wasted “Energy in the country’s steel sector is better to know. In 1400, the total imbalance created in the electricity sector was equivalent to 7 billion kilowatt hours.”

He continued: “This means that if the country’s industries used to produce electricity according to the model of other developed countries, not only would the country not face the imbalance caused by electricity production and consumption, but a positive balance equivalent to nearly 17 billion kWh would be provided for the electricity industry.»

According to the presented expert documents, the proposition of the role of electricity imbalance in reducing the production of steels is an inverted proposition and in fact it is the steel industry that is one of the main causes of imbalance in steel production and consequent power outages.
