 Energy scenario in India
 Electricity sector in India is growing at a rapid pace.
The present peak demand is about 1,15,000 MW and the
Installed Capacity is 1,52,380 MW using generation from
thermal (63 %), hydro (25 %), Nuclear (9 %) and renewables
(9 %) sector.
 India is one of the countries with large production
of energy from renewable sources. As of 31 March 2020,
35.86% of India's installed electricity generation capacity is
from renewable sources, generating 21.22% of total utility
electricity in the country.
1. Which is energy city in India?
2. Which city is called green city in India?
3. Which state is called power house of India?
• Energy City India. Bahrain-based Gulf Finance House is funding a
US $2 billion business district called Energy City India. Located
near Mumbai, it will act as a hub for oil and gas firms
and energy trading businesses.

• Chandigarh, 'the city beautiful' , too is sometimes referred by the

same name. Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of the Kerala state is
commonly known as the 'Evergreen city of India' as Mahatma
Gandhi crowned it when he visited the city. It has a
huge green landscape of trees.

• Qasimpur Power House Colony is a census town in Aligarh district

in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh
Which country is world’s largest producer of
electricity?
China, the world's second-fastest growing major
economy after India, produced a gigantic 6,015
terrawatt hour (TWh) of power.It is the world’s
largest producer of electricity.
 The United States is the world's second-largest
producer of electricity.
India is the world's third largest producer and
third largest consumer of electricity.
How many power grids are there in India?
The National Grid is the high-voltage electricity transmission
network in mainland India, connecting power stations and
major substations and ensuring that electricity generated anywhere
in mainland India can be used to satisfy demand elsewhere.The
National Grid is owned, operated, and maintained by state-
owned Power Grid Corporation of India. It is one of the largest
operational synchronous grids in the world with 371.054 GW of
installed power generation capacity as of 30 June 2020.

• Individual State grids were interconnected to form 5

regional grids covering mainland India. The grids were the
Northern, Eastern, Western, North Eastern and Southern Grids.
These regional links were established to enable transmission of
surplus electricity between States in each region.
What are the Energy problems in India?
 Energy problems in India
5 energy problems confronting India
• Coal production remains key to energy mix
• Fourth largest consumer of oil and petroleum
in the world.
• Relies on imports to meet growing demand
for gas.
• Electricity shortages hurt industrial output.
• Energy poverty and inequality spreads.

 Classification of Energy
Broadly the classification of energy is based on:
• Usability of Energy
• Traditional use
• Long term availability
• Commercial application
• Origin
 1. Usability of energy
1. Primary energy source
2. Secondary energy source
3. Tertiary energy source
 2. Traditional Use
• Conventional-Fossil fuels, Nuclear Energy,
Natural Gas
• Non-Conventional
 3. Long term availabilty
• Renewable
• Non-Renewable
 4. Commercial Application
• Commercial
• Non-Commercial
 5. Origin
• Fossil fuel
• Nuclear
• Hydro
• Solar
• Wind
• Biomass
• Geothermal
• Ocean thermal
• Tidal
• Wave

 Advantages of conventional energy

• The efficiency of the energy source is high.

• This energy source is a well-known source.
• The production expenses are low
 Energy Management
Energy management is the process of tracking
and optimizing energy consumption to
conserve usage in a building. There are few
steps for the process of energy management:
Collecting and analyzing continuous data.
Identify optimizations in equipment
schedules, set points and flow rates to
improve energy efficiency.
 Why is energy management important?

• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions for

greater corporate social responsibility.
• Tracking your utility costs to prepare more
accurate budgets
• Gain greater insight into your operational
costs.
• Reducing reliance on supply chains that are
inherently volatile.
 Ways of energy management
Following are strategies facility management executives
can use to increase efficiency while overcoming
potential costly challenges.
• Actively manage real-time energy use. ...
• Actively manage what is measureable. ...
• Actively manage energy consumption. ...
• Have a holistic plan. ...
• Secure leadership buy-in and support. ...
• Negotiate.
 What is the role of energy manager?

The role of an Energy Manager (EM) involves

facilitating energy conservation by identifying
and implementing various options for
saving energy, leading awareness programs,
and monitoring energy consumption.
 Energy Audit

An energy audit is an inspection survey and an

analysis of energy flows
for energy conservation in a building. It may
include a process or system to reduce the
amount of energy input into the system
without negatively affecting the output.
What is the purpose of energy audit?

The main purpose of an energy audit is to

determine whether your home wastes energy,
and to pinpoint where energy is being lost so
you can evaluate what measures you can take
to make your home more energy efficient.
 Types of Audit
• Preliminary Audit
• Detailed audit
