INTRODUCTION

“The fundamental goal of energy

management is to produce goods
and provide services
with the least cost and least
environmental effect.”
 Every industry or commercial undertaking
needs a specific amount of energy to
undertake the process and operations. Energy
is a scarce resource and the increment in
Importance of energy cost is too excessive . In present
Energy Conservation scenario,
competitive pricing strategy has become a
vital option for survival of a commercial
organization. To cut price, the cost of
production needs to be reduced and with
excessive increase in energy cost, it has
become one of the most important cost
components of production in any type of
industry.
 So, cost reduction in energy or in other words
reduction in energy consumption is of prime
importance for survival of an industry.
Importance of Thus reductions in energy consumption
enable to deliver products and services at a
Energy Conservation lower cost and increase profits, which means
being more competitive.

Energy conservation is also important

because consumption of non-renewable
sources impacts the Environment. Thus
Energy efficiency also prevents pollution and
is good for the bottom line as well as the
environment
ENERGY CONSERVATION IN
BSNL
an Energy Core Group has been constituted at
Corporate
office headed by Director (Plg & NS) and at each
Circle headed by the respective CGMT. BSNL
Energy Core Group under the chairmanship of
Director (Plg & NS) has decided that the following
measures are to be implemented which have been
classified as
No cost measures,
Low cost measures
High-cost measures.
 .
ENERGY CONSERVATION IN
BSNL
A. Power Factor Improvement - The power factor
of a system indicates what portion of the total
energy can be utilized to
No cost produce useful work. Thus for an installation, it is
measures a measure of the effectiveness in utilizing
the power it draws from the system. A poor power
factor implies higher reactive energy flow, which
leads to increase in the current that flows in the
system and hence results in higher system losses.
Most of the State Electricity Boards impose a
penalty if the average power factor is less than
9O% in the H.T. Installations and offer financial
incentive/ rebate if the average power factor
maintained is higher than 95%.

B. Switch off Stand by Transformer- In

installations where only one transformer is supply
No cost to the building & exchange load and
measures the other transformer is kept as hot standby. i.e. it is
kept energized from the primary side
whereas secondary is isolated from load.
Switching off or de- energizing the standby
transformer from the primary side helps in saving
the no-load loss of the standby transformer.
 ENERGY CONSERVATION IN
BSNL

C. Thermostat Adjustment - The higher is the

No cost temperature maintained in an Air-conditioned
measures room, the lower is the energy
consumption. Efforts must be made to maintain
temperature in range of 24°C±1°C instead of
23°C± 2°C. This would result in considerable power
saving. This range can be maintained
by setting the temperature and differential
in the Thermostat.
 ENERGY CONSERVATION IN
BSNL

D. Isolate non -AC area- It is seen in some

No cost Telephone Exchanges that area where equipment is
proposed to be installed
measures in future, has also been air-conditioned. Efforts
should be made to decrease the air-conditioned
area by way of Full height partition and closing AC
openings available in these rooms. Also
efforts should be made to ensure that doors of
Switch rooms and Package AC rooms should be
air-tight,

measures
E. Reduce excess - Lighting Load contributes for
approximately 20% energy consumption. Saving in
Lighting Load means energy saving due to lighting
and also energy saving due to less Air conditioning
load
 ENERGY CONSERVATION IN
BSNL

No cost
measures F. Switch off lights in unmanned area- All the extra
lights and the lights in unmanned area should be
switched off manually.
 ENERGY CONSERVATION IN
BSNL

A. Condenser stopping with compressor - Often

Low it is seen that though temperature of switch room
is achieved and compressor is cut off,
cost the condenser and blower fan run. Though the
measures running of blower fan is required for quick
dissipation of heat from the sensitive components
of the telecom equipment, but the running of
condenser fan is not required for long time.
Connection can be done in such a way that along
with the compressor condenser fan also gets
switched off.
 ENERGY CONSERVATION IN
BSNL

Low B. Free cooling - The unit is able to manage fresh

air intake to room after filtration through automatic
cost modulating damper on command from the
measures microprocessor achieving the required cooling
capacity without compressor in operation.
 ENERGY CONSERVATION IN

C. LED indication in Panels - The advantages of

LED lamps are -
Low • Life of the LED bulbs is more
• They can withstand vibrations, frequent switching
cost • Operating and maintenance cost low
measures • Produce less heat
 ENERGY CONSERVATION IN
BSNL D. After office hour lighting - For the common place
such as corridors compact fluorescent lamps, which
are more efficient,
are to be provided. The compound lighting shall be so
Low designed that 1OO% light will be ON
cost between 6.OO PM to 11 .OO PM, only 5O% shall be
put ON 11.OO PM onwards. Delayed
measures switching ON of Compound lighting by using
timer and early switching OFF the same to
avail daylight shall be used.

The temperature is maintained in range of 24°C ± 1°C.
This results in considerable power
saving.

B. Automatic and Remote Monitoring -Automatic and

High remote monitoring is a ability to monitor a process from remote
location. There are number of exchanges and they require a

To overcome these difficulties remote monitoring is done

Unit of Electrical Energy (KWh)

Unit of Electrical Energy (KWh)

One unit of electricity means using one Kilo watt (KW) or 1OOO Watt for
one hour.
1 UNIT = 1 KW x 1 HOUR = 1 KWh

FIRE SAFETY
TRIANGLE OF FIRE

It has been shown from the triangle of fire that three

factors are essential for combustion or a fire, namely;

I ) The presence of a fuel, or combustible substances;

ii) The presence of oxygen (usually as air) or other
supporter of combustion; and
iii) The attainment and maintenance of a certain
minimum temperature (ignition temperature)
CLASSES OF FIRE & EXTINGUISHING
AGENT:

Class A Fires involving solid combustible

Fire: materials of organic nature such as
wood, paper, rubber, plastics etc, where
the cooling effect of water is essential for
extinction of fires. Effective
extinguishing agent is generally water in
the form of a jet or spray.
CLASSES OF FIRE & EXTINGUISHING
