| Abstract | This study is a preliminary attempt to identify possible options for carrying out lighting demand side management in urban residential sector, particularly in four districts of Hanoi city in Vietnam. The survey was conducted in 300 households, which provides necessary information for determining lighting pattern in Hanoi, and subsequently potential option for lamp replacements. Five cases have been proposed, consisting of (i) Replacement of 75 W incandescent lamps by 20 W fluorescent lamps with VH ballasts (11 W power loss) or (ii) QP ballasts (SW power loss); simultaneous replacement of both 75 Wand 60 W incandescent lamps by the same set of fluorescent tubes (i.e. cases (iii) and (iv) and the last case (v) is replacement of high power loss ballasts (VH) by lower power loss ballasts where fluorescent lamps were used. The calculation reveals that all five cases are economically attractive from social point of view. The costs of electricity saved range from 162 VND/kWh to 220 VND/kWh which are substantially lower that the production cost of electricity (523 VND/kWh). Consequently a noticeable amount of coal also can be saved. Thus we have recommended that the pilot project on lighting DSM in Hanoi be tested. |
