ENERGY SCENARIO PRESENTLY OUR POWER GENERATION CAPACITY IS
150000MW
REQUIREMENT IS PEAK 185000MW
60% OF THIS COMES FROM COAL FIRED POWER PLANTS.
POWER PLANTS OPERATE AT 35-45% AVERAGE EFFICIENCY.
TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION LOSSES ARE AT 35-45% (SELECT SECTORS OVER 50%).
ENERGY DEMAND
ENERGY DEMAND IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO 325000MW BY 2030.
GOVERNMENT HAS PLANS TO INCREASE THE POWER PLANT CAPACITY TO 225000MW BY THE YEAR 2017.
REALITY
KARNATAKA – SHORTAGE OF 15000MW PEAK POWER. UNSCHEDULED POWER OUTAGES. UPCOUNTRY POWER CUTS UPTO 4-8 HRS EVERY DAY.
TAMIL NADU – SHORTAGE OF POWER. WEEKLY 2 DAYS COMPULSARY POWER HOLIDAYS FOR INDUSTRIAL SECTOR. 70% OF CONTRACT DEMAND ONLY ALLOWED TO BE DRAWN.
ANDHRA PRADESH – COMPULSARY POWER HOLIDAY FOR 5 DAYS A MONTH.
EXCEPT GUJARAT WHICH IS POWER SURPLUS, ALL OTHER STATES ARE IN DEFICIT.
OPTIONS
CLOSE EYES AND PRAY
RUN AWAY FROM REALITY
TAKE THE CHALLENGE HEAD ON
CHALLENGES CREATE NEW POWER PLANTS
HARVEST RENEWABLE SOURCES
IMPROVE EXISTING TECHNOLOGIES
INVEST IN NEW TECHNOLOGIES
DELIVER THE GENERATED POWER TO RIGHT PLACE IN RIGHT QUANTITY
OPTIONS……….contd
ADD NEW POWER PLANT- INCREASE PRIMARY ENERGY - INCREASE WATER CONSUMPTION- INCREASE WASTE MANAGEMENT.
ADD RENEWABLE ENERGY- COST - EFFICIENCY- UTILITY- STORAGE
COST
IT COSTS RS. 5 CRORES/ MW FOR A THERMAL
POWER PLANT
RS. 12 CRORES/ MW FOR A SOLAR POWER PLANT
RS. 15 CRORES/ MW FOR A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
COST
T&D LOSSES OF 30% FROM GENERATION STATION TO THE USER
PLANT EFFICIENCY IS ONLY 50% AVERAGE COST OF POWER FOR
GOVERNMENT IS RS.8/- PER UNIT SUBSIDY ON POWER IS PAID BY ALL OF US
ONLY IN WAY OF TAX
TIME
IT TAKES 2 YEARS TO BUILD ONE SOLAR
POWER PLANT
5 YEARS TO BUILD ONE THERMAL POWER PLANT
10 YEARS TO BUILD ONE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
PEOPLE
IT TAKES THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO BUILD
ONE SOLAR POWER PLANT
LAKHS OF PEOPLE TO BUILD ONE THERMAL POWER PLANT
TENS OF LAKHS OF PEOPLE TO BUILD ONE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
WHAT TO DO
CONSERVE
ENERGY
WHAT IT IS NOT?
ENERGY CONSERVATION IS NOT
ENERGY SACRIFICE
COMFORT SACRIFICE
QUALITY SACRIFICE
PRODUCTION SACRIFICE
TIME WASTAGE
WHAT IS IT?
ENERGY CONSERVATION IS MINIMISING ENERGY WASTAGE
IMPROVING OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
INCREASING PRODUCTION WITHIN SAME ENERGY
REDUCING WATER CONSUMPTION PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION SPECIFIC CONSUMPTION
WHAT IT TAKESIT TAKES ONLY ONE PERSON TO START ENERGY CONSERVATION
ONLY ONE SECOND TO START ENERGY CONSERVATION
ONLY RS. 75LAKHS TO CONSERVE 1MW OF POWER
1MW SAVED AT THE USER END SAVES 2MW OF POWER GENERATION
2MW OF POWER GENERATION REDUCTION RESULTS IN 4MW OF PRIMARY FUEL USAGE/ IMPORT
WHAT IT TAKES1 MW CONSERVED CAN BRING BRIGHTNESS IN LIVES OF 40000 FAMILIES
CAN IRRIGATE 90LAKH SQ FT OF FARM LANDS
SAVES THE COUNTRY 4.5LAKH TONNES OF COAL PER YEAR
CAN PUMP DRINKING WATER TO HALF THE STATE
CAN SAVE THE STATE Rs. 7 CRORES
CAN HELP EDUCATE 12000 KIDS FOR A YEAR
DOES NOT DISPLACE ANY VILLAGE/ SETTLEMENT
INCREASES EMPLOYEE MORAL
WHAT IT TAKES
SAME EFFORT TO STOP SMOKING?
SAME EFFORT TO REDUCE WEIGHT?
SAME EFFORT TO GET UP IN COLD WINTER MORNING?
SAME EFFORT TO RESIST SWEET FOR A DIABETIC?

POTENTIAL
Energy Generation sector – 12Lakh Crores
Energy Transmission and Distribution – 4 Lakh Crores
Energy Conservation – 2.5 Lakh Crores
Secondary Market of Energy Efficient Products – Crores of Crores.
STEPS IN ENERGY CONSERVATION
ENERGY AUDIT IDENTIFY POINTS OF LOSSES FIND METHODS OF PLUGGING LOSSES IMPLEMENT THE STRATEGY AFTER RE-COMMISSIONING – FINE
TUNING OF SYSTEM ONCE AGAIN
NEED High Technical and Analytical Skills.
Strong Fundamentals
Logical Thinking
Innovative and Creative minds
Fresh and Jovial Working environment.
CAPITALISE OPPORTUNITIES HAVE STRENGTH IN FUNDAMENTALS
HAVE CORE SUBJECT STRONG BASE
HAVE HIGH LEVEL OF GENERAL AWARENESS
HUMILITY IN LIFE
EAGER AND READY TO LEARN AND THEN EARN.
PASSION
AGGRESSION
DON’T JUST DREAM
WAKE UP AND WORK ON IT
THE NATION NO MORE WANTS YOU
IT NEEDS YOU
AND
IT NEEDS YOUR TALENT
