ABSTRACT Both developed and developing countries are affected by the global energy problem. Over last few decades, industrial sector's electrical demand has grown exponentially, altering supply‐and‐demand balance. The trend toward Industry 4.0 compliant production facilities necessitates a greater for high‐reliability power. Because severe losses caused power outages cannot be tolerated, an increasing number of large vital processes integrate centralized high‐quality, online UPS technology onto their network to establish grid‐to‐load link continuously condition dirty electricity from national grid. These distribute using either MV or LV system. Based on integration design, investigating ways quantify efficiency savings versus system is required. This paper proposes strategic technical interventions these systems assesses budgetary ramifications. also aims contribute implementation plan help close gaps. From results obtained, offers significant reduction in consumption. Compared system, annual reduced 46% at load factor 65%. A improvement expected higher factors larger where longer distribution cables used. saves R221 509 per meter cable length increase R31 457 percentage factor.

Abstract In this study, we assessed the accomplishments and shortcomings of an exhaustive collection energy policies Nepal over four decades, using a five‐dimensional security framework (availability, affordability, technology, sustainability governance) for sustainable development. We adopted mixed‐method approach involving thorough review 70 policy documents (1984–2022), systematic 86 peer‐reviewed journal articles on Nepal's policy, consultations with 11 experts. Our evaluation shows that while there is progressive trend, face challenges political instability, governance issues, siloed development practices, lagging research development, inefficient demand management, heavy reliance international support. Additionally, offer tailored recommendations related stakeholders: supply‐side demand‐side multi‐sector collaboration, stability good governance. The insights provide have significant regional implications, particularly in context potential cross‐border clean electricity sharing South Asia.
