Suppose a utility charges its large industrial customers $0.08/kWh for energy plus $10/month per peak kVA (demand charge). Peak kVA means the highest level drawn by the load during the month. If the customer uses an average of 750 kVA during a 720-h month, with a 1000 kVA peak, A) What would be their monthly bill if their power factor (PF) is 0.8? B) How much money can be saved each month if their real power is the same but their power factor is 1.0?

1.) A windmill produces on average 6 kW of electrical power over an 8-hr period. The electricity is used to charge storage batteries. In the charging process the batteries increase in temperature, causing them to lose heat to the surroundings at a rate of 500 Btu/hr. Determine the total energy (in Btu) stored in the batteries during this 8-hr period.
