ENERGY MANAGEMENT
PRINCIPLE OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT:
1
Process flow
A number of trends in energy management is driving this need for change. Principle
among them is the multiplier effect of using green low-impact and cleaner energy
forms. Many of today's economic activities are greatly dependent on energy supply.
Using green energy not only enables saving on the economic front, it also facilitates
action on other green aspects. For example, activities related to environmental
remediation such as managing hazardous waste, cleaning water, pollution remediation
etc. are all energy-intensive tasks themselves.
Many of the global environmental problems that we are currently facing - climate
change, biodiversity loss, desertification etc. - need at its core a campaign towards
cleaner and greener energy that will stimulate action in other fronts in governance,
education and technologies.
Ultimately, it is the human dimension that will benefit from clean energy. Inefficient
energy management and use greatly affect air, water or land quality that ultimately
impacts human health. Switching to a cleaner form of energy is in itself a significant
multiplier for improving human health.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM:
Introduction:
Energy management is a programmer of well-planned actions aimed at
reducing an organization’s energy bills and minimizing the detrimental environmental
impact. It involves
• Regular reporting of savings achieved,
• Providing resources where required,
• Implementing energy saving measures,
• Collecting and analyzing existing energy use data,
• Developing responsibility for those who deal with energy bills and
have the authority to change the way energy is used.

Report for the Centre for Energy Management of India:
The Inspiration:
India ranks sixth in the world in terms of energy demand accounting for
3.5 percent of world commercial energy demand in 2001. With a gross domestic
product (GDP) growth of 8 per cent set for the Tenth Five Year Plan, the energy
demand is expected to grow at 5.2 percent. At the time of independence, over 70
percent of the total energy consumption of India was met by the non commercial
sources of supplies like firewood, during cake and agricultural waste. Progressively,
the situation has reversed, with the changes in the demographic structure brought
about by rapid urbanization. Amongst the commercial energy sources, coal, due to its
abundance, is a predominant source of energy, accounting for 55% of the current
Indian energy consumption of about 315 MTOE in 2001. This is followed by Oil
(31%), Natural Gas (8%), Hydro (5%) and Nuclear (1%). Primary commercial energy
demand grew almost three-fold at an annual rate of 6 per cent between 1981 and
2001, to reach 314.7 million tones of oil equivalent. India's incremental energy
demand for the next decade is projected to be among the highest in the world, spurred
by sustained economic growth, rise in income levels and increased availability of
goods and services.
India's commercial energy demand is expected to grow even more rapidly than in the
past as it goes down the reform path in order to raise standards of living. A large part
of India's population does not have access to commercial energy.
The latest estimates indicate that India has around 0.4 per cent of the world's proven
reserves of crude oil. As against this, the domestic crude consumption is estimated at
2.8 per cent of the world's consumption. The balance of recoverable reserves as
estimated in the beginning of 2001 is placed at 733.70 million tones (mt) of crude and
749.65 billion cubic meters (BCM) of natural gas. The share of hydrocarbons in the
primary commercial energy consumption of the country has been increasing over the
years and is presently estimated at 44.9 per cent (36.0 per cent for oil and 8.9 per cent
for natural gas). The demand for oil is likely to increase further during the next two
decades. Reforms in the energy sector were initiated to supplement the Government's
efforts in the development of the sector and to make it more efficient. The
Government has been endeavoring to provide a policy environment that encourages
free and fair competition in each element of the energy value chain and attracts
capital from all sources - public and private, domestic and foreign. Encouraging such
capital formation is crucial for India to meet its energy needs. Significant progress
has been made in establishing independent and transparent regulatory authorities in
the power sector to facilitate the rationalization of electricity tariff as well as to
encourage competition while protecting the interest of all stakeholders. There is a
need to examine the issue of the single regulatory authority for the energy sector with
a view to developing the desired fuel-mix and related issues, in close association with
sub-sector regulatory authorities.
Power is one of the prime movers of economic development. The Government has,
since Independence, been giving priority to this sector while fixing the Plan outlays.
As a result, the installed generation capacity has risen from a mere 1,300 megawatt
(MW) at the time of Independence to more than 1,00,000 MW today. Along with the
growth in installed generation capacity, there has also been a phenomenal increase in
the transmission and distribution (T&D) capacity. However, despite these
achievements, the power sector has not kept pace with the growth in demand with the
result that the country has always faced energy and peaking shortages. This is mainly
due to un-economic tariffs for agriculture, lower slabs of domestic consumption and
high T&D losses, which often disguise large-scale theft, and low billing and
collection efficiency. This is the main roadblock to attracting the much-needed private
investment. Power sector reforms were initiated in 1991 to encourage competition in
each sub element of the sector, namely, generation, transmission and distribution
under an independent and transparent regulatory regime. With this objective in mind
a Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has already been set up at the
national level and State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs) set up in states.
Reforms in the energy sector were initiated to supplement the Government's efforts in
the development of the sector and to make it more efficient. The Government has
been endeavoring to provide a policy environment that encourages free and fair
competition in each element of the energy value chain and attracts capital from all
sources- public and private, domestic and foreign. Encouraging such capital
formation is crucial for India to meet its energy needs. The thrust of the reforms has
been to deregulate the price of commercial energy resources (which, until recently,
were entirely administered), increase competition through institutional, legislative
and regulatory reforms and reduce subsidies.
Main strategic thrust in oil & gas in the long and medium term in the hydrocarbon
sector in India is as under:
c. Pursue projects to meet the deficit in demand and supply of natural gas and
facilitate availing of LNG.
f. Create additional infrastructure for distribution and marketing of oil and gas.
g. Open up the hydrocarbon markets so that there is free and fair competition
between public sector enterprises, private companies and other international
players.
i. Have a rational tariff and pricing policy, which would ensure the consumer
getting the petroleum products at the most reasonable prices and requisite
quality eliminating adulteration.
k. Restructure the oil sector PSUs with the objective of enhancing shareholder
value and disinvest in a phased manner.
l. Develop regulatory and legislative framework for providing oil/gas security for
the country.
Some of the specific issues being faced in Power Sector today are:
• It is a fact that weak communication facilities lead to grid collapses and long
restoration time.
• Lack of grid discipline in the system in terms of penalties for overdraw and
underdrawal by state units from the scheduled transfer scheme.
• Plants remain unutilized because of lack of demand whereas other regions are
power starved.
• The transmission and distribution losses in our country are estimated at around
22 per cent. It is estimated that improvement in system design is a cost and
time effective option since such projects cost less than Rs. 1 crore for every
MW of new capacity saved and involved a gestation period of less than one
year.
