Write short notes on any four of the following:
1.
Energy Mix
Answer : In each region of the world, energy supply depends on the economic and political situation
and the accessibility of different resources. Because of this, the distribution of consumption per
energy source is not always the same from one region of the world to another - in other words, the
energy mix varies.
THE ENERGY MIX: DEFINITION
Each country uses energy differently, defining its

The Planning Commission
Answer : The Planning Commission is an institution in the Government of India, which formulates
India's Five-Year Plans, among other functions.
Rudimentary economic planning, deriving the sovereign authority of the state, first initiated in India
in 1938 by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose when he was the Congress president and drafted by
Meghnad Saha. The British Raj also formally established a planning board that functioned from 1944
to 1946. Industrialists and economists

Process of recruiting officers and employees of Bureau
Answer : Written Test and Panel Interview

2. The most competitive candidates will be contacted and scheduled for one day of testing and a panel
interview. Candidates will receive a detailed email regarding location, time and other pertinent
information. The test takes place at an FBI facility and consists of two Phases. Phase 1 consists of a
written and video portion. Phase 2 consists of a panel interview by active duty FBI Police Officers.
Conditional Job Offer
Based on budgetary requirements and the number of officers needed by the FBI, candidates who
pass Phase 1 and Phase 2 are eligible to

Pillars of EU energy policy
Answer : The European Commission first proposed the so-called “three pillars” of European Union
energy policy – sustainability, competitiveness and security of supply – as “core principles” for “a
new comprehensive European energy policy” in a 2006 Green Paper. A follow-up communication,
“An Energy Policy for Europe,” established the three pillars as a mantra for a new EU energy policy
that is “ambitious, competitive and long-term,” stating that collaborating to achieve the three pillars
in the EU would be a “return to its roots.”
Since the founding of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), in 1952, energy policy has
been a key driver for European integration. Yet, many challenges remain. As the Commission has
pointed out, “the point of departure for a

1.
What are the challenges before rural energy planning in India? How should these be
faced?
Answer : Developing and extending modern energy supplies, including renewable energy, to 6 billion
people in the coming decades, while simultaneously introducing ways to produce and use biofuels
more sustainably during the transition, is a daunting task. Within the area of development and the
environment, this task is perhaps the main challenge facing the energy industry. All the types of
investment discussed above are capable of generating satisfactory rates of return and, with
satisfactory pricing policies for “commercial” energy, can be designed to be financially viable.
However, no single investment program can be
2.
Elucidate the role of database development and management in energy planning process.
Answer : Currently, energy planning in India is not an integrated activity. Since there are many
energy sources and end uses, many organisations and agencies deal with different aspects of
energy. The plans for electricity, coal, oil and fuel wood are done by respective organisations

3. mainly based on the projection of energy demand. The primary goal of this approach is to go
in for energy supply expansions on the assumption that there is a correlation between energy use
and gross domestic product. With this approach energy becomes an end in itself, and the focus
shifts on meeting increased energy consumption through energy supply expansion alone. This
supply and demand based planning approach for each individual energy form has resulted in
problems like more losses, more
3.
Do you think that commercial energy supply under integrated scenarios varies? If yes, give
reason.

Explain with the help of diagram the Installed Generation Capacity.
Answer : "Installed capacity of 10MW" means that the instantaneous output can be at a level of
10MW continuously. That's the power rating of the facility - power is the instantaneous output.
Energy is power integrated over time. So a 10MW plant that operates for 24 hours at 10MW
produces 10X24 - 240 MWHr of energy.
Installed generation capacity ≥ 100 MW
Ex-ante information on the installed generation capacity and forecasts regarding the maximum
available energy of power generating units with a net nominal output of ≥ 100 MW
