ENERGY CONSERVATION

ENERGY CONSERVATION
2
Types of Energy

• Energy can be broadly divided into two
  categories-
• Renewable Energy
• Non Renewable Energy

3
Renewable Energy

• Renewable energy can be generated continuously
  practically without decay of source. E.g.-
• Solar Energy
• Wind Energy
• Geothermal Energy
• Hydro Energy

4
Solar Energy

• Solar energy can be converted into electrical
  energy by using solar panels, or alternatively,
  be used as thermal energy using solar water
  heaters, solar cookers etc.

5
Wind Energy

• India is worlds third largest producer of
  electricity generation using wind power by wind
  mills.

6
Geothermal Energy

• A lot of energy exists inside earth crust.
  Natural hot water springs are a good source of
  getting such energy.

7
Hydro Energy

• Using dams, water is allowed to pass through
  turbine blades, which produces electricity. In
  India, after coal, most of the energy is produced
  by this method.

8
Non Renewable Energy

• Non renewable energy cannot be generated again
  and again, e.g. energy generated from combustion
  of fossil fuels, energy from coal and gas etc.

9
Energy

• Energy can neither be generated nor it can be
  destroyed. It can only be converted from one form
  to another.
• For example, in a room heater, electrical energy
  is converted to the thermal energy.
• Turbine converts mechanical energy stored in
  steam to electrical energy.

10
Why to Conserve?

• We have limited fuels available on earth.
• Our demand for energy is increasing day-by-day.
• It is possible that someday, most of fuels will
  be exhausted, and we will have to switch over to
  alternate energy.

11
Limited Fuels

• At present consumption levels-
• Crude oil will last only for 40 years.
• Gas will last for 60 years.
• Coal will be finished in nearly 200 years.
• Ever thought of life without oil and gas?

Increasing Consumption

• Furthermore, our consumption is increasing
  day-by-day.
• This means fuels will last much earlier than
  expected.
• The only solution is ..

Energy Conservation
15
Energy Conservation in India

• In India, government has passed Energy
  Conservation Bill, 2001 for better utilization
  of energy and conservation of the same.
• By this act, it is mandatory for energy intensive
  sectors to get their Energy Audit conducted by
  accredited energy auditor.

16
Bureau of Energy Efficiency

• This body keeps watch on energy consumption
  patterns, develops norms for appliances etc.
• It also organizes different competitions e.g.
  poster slogan competition etc. for children.

17
Star Ratings

• BEE has also initiated Star Rating System for
  electrical appliances e.g. refrigerator, CFL,
  geysers etc.
• In this system, 1-5 stars are allotted to
  products depending on their energy efficiency. A
  five star product means that it consumes least
  energy in its segment.

18
What Can We Do?

• We, the children can do our bit to save energy.
  We should not waste energy in school or at home.

19
In School

• Always switch off lights and fans while going out
  of the class.

20
In School

• In computer lab, we should switch off computers
  before going out of class.

21
In School

• If there are less students in the class, we
  should sit together so that some fans can be
  switched off. (NOT IN EXAMS!)

22
At Home

• We should not keep light and fan unnecessarily
  switched on.

23
At Home

• Tell mother to take material out from fridge if
  it is to be heated, some time earlier so that
  cooking gas consumption is low.

24
At Home

• We should not open fridge door frequently.

25
At Home

• We should not open fridge door for long time.

26
At Home

• Watching interesting programs on TV is
  interesting, but afterwards, TV should be
  switched off.

27
At Home

• While going to purchase new products, e.g.
  refrigerator, geysers, CFL etc., we should insist
  upon purchasing a five star product rather than
  cheap and energy waster product.

28
How will it help?

• Take an example
• We replace one 100W bulb with a 13W CFL.
• Let us assume electricity is available for Rs.
  3.00 per unit, and this bulb is used for 6 Hours
  a day.
• The annual saving would be.

29
Power Saving

• Power saved 100W-13W 87W
• 87W X 6 Hours X 365 Days
• 17520 WH
• 17.520 kWH or Units
• Rs. 52.56
• Say Rupees 50 per one bulb replaced.

30
So,

• Remember to replace light bulbs with CFLs so
  electricity could be available for more time.
• You can also ask your parents for a chocolate or
  some other gift after reducing your electricity
  bill.

31
What Else can be Done?

• We should discuss energy conservation with our
  friends and tell others how can we reduce energy
  consumption.

Date of Birth - May 30, 1995 About Myself I am
presently studying in Fatherson Public School,
Siau, Chandpur. I like playing badminton and T.T.
During leisure, I like to enjoy TV. Prathvi Raj
Chowhan is my favourite TV serial. I also like
Tom Jerry very much, of which I have a
collection of many CDs. Father D K Singhal, an
engineering postgraduate in Pulp Paper
Engineering from University of Roorkee (Now IIT,
Roorkee) is a technologist with more than
three-dozen research and technical articles. He
is also a Certified Energy Auditor. He helps me
in solving different problems related to
studies. Mother Swati Singhal, a commerce
graduate with Computer specialization form NIIT,
New Delhi. She helps me a lot in studying.
Thank You.
