PRESENTATION ON BASICS OF ENERGY CONSERVATION

1. PRESENTATIONONBASICSOF ENERGY CONSERVATION

2. Overview
 Introduction
 Energy Sources
 Need of energy conservation
 Energy Conservation Act-2001
 BEE and it’s Roles
 MEDA and it’s Roles
 Star Labelling: Need and it’s benefits

3. INTRODUCTION
 Importance of energy
 Strategic Commodity
 Insecurity
 Shortfall
 Growing and Reform in energy sector

4. CLASSIFICATION OF ENERGY SOURCES
1. Primary
2. Secondary
3. Waste Energy Resources
4. Renewable (non conventional)
5. Non Renewable Energy (Conventional )
6. Commercial
7. Non Commercial

5. Primary Energy Resources
 These are the sources which can be directly found in nature or stored in nature and can be
extracted’
 Available in raw form which needs to be processed frist for utilization
 Example: Coal, oil, natural gas, biomass stored nuclear energy from radioactive material thermal in
earth interior.

6. Secondary energy sources
 These are sources which are derived from primary sources in the form of either
final fuel or energy supply.
 Involvement of technological processes in this transformation in between causes
drop in primary energy on the way to consumer.
 Example: steam energy from coal, refined crude oil product such as gasoline,
petrol, Electricity etc.

7. Waste Energy Recourse
 It is possible to reuse waste energy liberated in the process of utilization of
primary and secondary energy recourses.
 Practically it is achieved by combine heat and power which more popular as
cogeneration
 Example: Energy extracted from the cooling system in power plant

8. Renewable and Non Renewable Energy
Sources
Renewable Energy Sources
 This is energy acquired from never ending sources of energy available
in nature.
 The main features of this is it can be extracted without causing
pollution
 Example: solar power, wind energy, geothermal energy
Non-Renewable Energy Sources:
 Non renewable energy is the energy obtained from conventional fuels
which are exhaustible toady or tomorrow with time
 Example: coal, oil, gas

9. Commercial Energy sources
 This is energy accessible from market at certain price
 These are cardinal sources for industrialized countries as it is basic need for
industrial, commercial, and agriculture sector
 Example: Electricity, ignite, coal, natural gas etc.

10. Non-commercial Energy Sources
 These source are not available in the market unlike previous type for a price
instead these are traditionally gathered
 Also termed as traditional fuel and mostly dragged off in energy accounting
 Example: firewood, cattle dung, sugar cane crush, solar thermal water heating ,etc.

11. NEED OF ENERGY CONSERVATION
 Energy Efficiency/Energy Conservation measures can reduce peak and average
demand.
 One unit saving avoids 2.5 to 3 times of fresh capacity addition.
 Investment is energy efficiency/energy conservation is highly cost effective.
 Can be achieved less than Rs. 10 million/MW.
 Also avoids investment in fuel, mining, transportation etc.
 Keeping the above factors in view and also to provide a policy guidance,
Government of India enacted the Energy Conservation Act 2001.

12. ENERGY CONSERVATION ACT 2001
 Enacted on 1st Oct 2001.
 Becomes effective from 1st March 2002
 OBJECTIVE-
To provide necessary legal framework for promoting conservation measures in the
country.

13. POLICIES
 Benefits of high energy saving
 Reduction in the demand supply gap
 Reduction of harmful emission to environment
 Establishment of BEE

14. FEATURES
Standard and labelling program
Designated consumers
National exam for certification of energy auditor
ECBC
Central energy conservation funds

15. BEE and it’s Roles
 Bureau of Energy Efficiency
 Set up on 1st March 2002 by Government of India

16. Role of BEE
 Implementation of provisions of Energy Conservation Act.
 Quick co-ordination
 Policy Research
 Promotion of Energy Efficiency
 Development of new financial instruments
 Awareness creation

17. MEDA
 Maharashtra Energy Development Association
 Registered as a society under societies Registration Act, 1860 and Bombay Public
Trust 1950.
 Works under MNRE, Govt. of India

18. ROLE OF MEDA
 Co-ordination with BEE, MERC etc.
 Promote and develop new and renewable sources
 Explore the resources.
 It implements the Energy Conservation Act.
 Awares people to conserve energy

19. STAR LABELLING
 Thrust areas of BEE
 OBJECTIVES:
 Provide the consumer better choice.
