Impact of COVID-19 on energy systems in Nepal: Implications for SDGs Dr Ramhari Poudyal
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted progress towards SDG 7 of affordable and clean energy in Nepal. Lockdowns led to a 20-25% decline in electricity and fuel consumption in Nepal. This threatens Nepal's goal of providing universal electricity access by 2023 and becoming carbon neutral by 2050. The pandemic also resulted in a 5% decline in global energy demand and up to 8% reductions in emissions from electricity, oil, coal, and natural gas. However, CO2 emissions still remain 10 years higher than pre-pandemic levels, emphasizing the need for countries like Nepal to build more resilient and sustainable energy systems in order to achieve their SDG targets.
Nepalese industries have significant potential for improving energy efficiency. Industrial companies in Nepal can achieve up to 40% energy savings through proper energy management systems without capital investment. The cement and sugar industries in Nepal offer specific opportunities for boosting energy efficiency, reducing costs and emissions, through measures like waste heat recovery and use of biomass. Overall, a baseline study found 15% potential savings for electric energy and 30% for thermal energy across eight energy-intensive Nepalese industries through improved efficiency.
Energy crisis of Nepal and it's sustainable solutions Dr Ramhari Poudyal
This document discusses Nepal's energy crisis and potential sustainable solutions. It notes that Nepal relies heavily on traditional biomass energy sources and faces issues with air pollution, energy poverty, and power outages. However, Nepal has significant untapped hydropower potential of over 45 GW. The document examines Nepal's current energy mix, challenges with delayed hydropower projects, and outlines solutions such as improving energy infrastructure, promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency, and emphasizing an optimal energy generation mix.
The document discusses energy efficiency measures in cement industries. It notes that the cement industry accounts for over 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Several opportunities for improving energy efficiency are identified, including upgrading kilns, recovering waste heat, improving raw material preparation, and implementing process controls. The cement industry in Nepal is one of the most energy intensive sectors and consumes more energy per unit of production compared to other countries. Adopting advanced efficient technologies could help reduce energy use and emissions in Nepal's cement industries.
Modern societies are highly energy-dependent, leading to increased air pollution and related health issues globally. Air pollution is the fourth largest human health risk, causing over 3.5 million premature deaths annually. In Nepal, traditional biomass fuels and diesel generators contribute significantly to indoor and outdoor air pollution. Reducing dependence on fossil fuels by transitioning to renewable energy can help address this issue and improve health outcomes. Policy support is needed to facilitate private sector investment in low-carbon energy solutions.
A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.
Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

2. Energy Scenario
• Nepal’s Hydropower is around 80,000 MW, out of which 43,000 MW is estimated
to be economically feasible.
• Demand for electricity is increasing at 7–9% per year
• World’s demand is just 2.2% in 2018
• Nepal is targeting graduating from least developed country (LDC) status to
developing country status by 2022 and aims to become a middle income country
by 2030. To meet its growth aspirations, Nepal will need to add 6,000+ MW
• It requires investment of approximately USD 13 - 18 billion by 2020. Consequently,
a lot of industries and infrastructure projects are in the pipe- line opening up huge
opportunities.
• Landlocked country on the southern slope of the Himalayas. The geographical
position of the country plays a significant role for its development as a business
hub as it lies in between the world’s two giant economy - India and China.
• The half of the global energy demand takes place by India and China
• India’s current installed capacity is 281 GW. India requires an annual addition of
50–60 GW per year from their current addition of 15–20 GW per year to meet this
soaring demand.
• Similarly, the electricity demand in nearby Bangladesh (population 156.6 millions)
is increasing at a rate of 9% per annum. GDP growth rate of 7%, peak demand of
Bangladesh is expected to reach 12.6 GW by 2017.
• The new opportunities of power trade in the South Asian Association for Regional
Cooperation (SAARC) region, especially with India and Bangladesh, Nepal has the
potential to export a significant amount of power once it reaches power surplus.
