ABSTRACT
This paper presents an energy audit study conducted for an urban residential community in Mumbai. The consumers are categorized using a k-means clustering algorithm based on their electricity consumption. The energy-efficient appliance selection is undertaken by a benchmarking study based on the appliance energy labeling and star rating initiated by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency(BEE) in India. The study establishes the techno-economic feasibility of energy savings in Indian urban households with an average payback period of 3.3 years. The energy-saving opportunities are selected based on each cluster's capital cost and payback period. Sensitivity analysis of electricity tariff of a region on payback period is undertaken. The covid impact analysis on the residential energy consumption is conducted by comparing energy consumption before and after the covid. The benefits are replicable in most Indian households, especially the urban residential consumers with high consumption in regions with high electricity tariffs. © 2022 IEEE.
