Power factor refers to the ratio of useful power to power losses; if this ratio falls under 0.9, companies face severe loss.<\/p>\n<p>The practice of energy audits also brought us into direct contact with various industries, such as garment, food, and plastic items. It taught us how they are billed and penalized, as well as the reasons which lead to distortion of their power factor. We also had the\u00a0opportunity to visit places like the Chief Minister\u2019s House (and a few other group members of the Sindh Assembly)\u00a0to audit energy, and\u00a0understood\u00a0how it functions and studied their energy load.<\/p>\n<p>Other duties performed during the internship included basic office work like data entry for spreadsheets and creating reports and presentations.
