India's plans for the next five years are rosy but it is not clear how it will achieve this target.The 11th Five Year Plan envisages 78,577 megawatts (MW) of power generation capacity. India will soon become world's largest consumer of primary energy.

Looking for Mordern Energy

idea posted by Satyajit Bhuyan Turbine Software Engineer,Vestas Wind Sys pvt.ltd

I think, India needs to look for alternative mordern energy like Wind Energy.India having very broad coast line we can generate good amount of power from Wind energy.

 

It will also end our dependency on nuclear energy resources and oil and gas needs will be minimized.

Rightly said. We need to find out alternate sources of energy & the respective state govt need to provided requisite importance to them.

I think you should set up a nuclear power station

yes its a good idea , India is a Vast country , every state n every city has its own environmental qualities, Eg: if we go to Rajasthan, solar energy n wind energy  is thr , nt only Rajasthan , in almost every state of India sun light is 365 days.

Save existing energy

idea posted by amit chaudhry Senior Consultant, IML
If people have energy savers, and each household leaves on 5 lights and there are 2 million households approx, that's
50W or so times 2 million = 100 000 000W or 100Mw.
Way, way short of what we require. It is not a big saving but helps to some extent.....if we use resources properly things will change.

A considerable %age of generated electrical energy is being unutilised. It may be in form of missuse by human beings such as many people do not switch off electrical appliances i.e. lights, AC's etc, when not in use. Many places we use over rated appliances and result in more power consumption than requirement. Our state owned company's electricity distribution network is not perfectly designed to reduce transmission and distribution losses. we don't use more efficient equipments i.e. transormers etc. There are not good distribution network In villages for electric operated water pumps for farming. Long LV distribution lines are installed for these consumers. If we are careful about these losses, we will be able to save good amount of energy, and it may be helpfull to manage peak demand of energy.

We have to reduce our transmission loss as our transmission losses are of 40%. Means we are using from 50 to 60% our existing power produced

We have to put prepaid meters with existing sancation load lock in meter.It stops working as load increases. People will aware and save more with prepaid meters. also losses will reduce and people have to give their excat load of their permises and govt can plan transmission n transformer according to the excat load on line.

govt can start people awarness program like they did for Jago Grah Jago for MRP on products

One more thing we need to keep in mind. With conserving energy, we have to keep a check on the theft on power which is one of the many threats. This will save a lot of power.

Changing habits of consumer in uses

idea posted by SB DIKSHIT STATE QUALITY MONITOR, U.P.R.R.D.A

There should be vide publicity of changing habits of consumers such as-

1.using CFL in place of bulbs in all houses 

2. sodium lights consumption is more,avoid their use from street lights

3.making use of solar lamps in streets and houses

4.consumtion of electricity in villages is too much,there should be bio gas and solar energy  only ,this way they will get electricity for max. time 

5.use of solar and wind mills for water pumps etc.

and so on

Since infrastructure development is increasing everywhere at the same time the consumption is rising minute by minute. 

I feel that both central and state govt should make it compulsory for each and every upcoming new construction project (SEZs,malls,residential,.etc) to get CERTIFICATION from LEED immideately after their final stage of construction . Once the developers get this certification then only they(IT companies, retail stores,.etc) should be allowed to occupy . Also do provide a a percentage of incentives in terms of tax for all those who get a platinum rating.

This will make compulsory for all to adopt GREEN BUILDING concepts and also will save lot of energy finally.

 Sir u r right, actually public is nt aware of energy saving products , in lighting products thr many companies who only works on energy efficient lighting product. In industries these lights maintain the power factor also ( means less losses).

Thr are many tube lights 28 w

CFL's ( are good only in house holds nt gud in industries its power factor is bad)

LED lights

street lights are thr with less consumption and more lumens

Save energy save world.......

Renewable Energy

idea posted by Mayank Srivastava Head/VP/GM-Tech. Support, Indiabulls Infrastructure

We must install renewable energy systems e.g. not bio-mass

  1. Wind Power
  2. Solar Power- Cell
  3. Solar Power- Solar thermal
  4. Tidal Power
  5. Wave Energy Generators

These type have been implemented and are working.So there is no need for experimentation etc

yes i m in full support of renewable energies....by developing technologies based on solar, wind, biomass and many other resources we can enhance the energy back up of our country, reduce import costs on energy purchase....

Any country's development depends on how much efficiently it uses its own resources either depending on other countries......

But like conventional energy sources these resources cant be used by centralised system i.e. by a main governing head...but it should be de-centralised so that the power generated can be used more sufficiently without loosing much energy while transfering to distant areas......

Definitely..I agree with you. At the same time I would like to add some more points. We could use these powers for domestic purpose, street lighting, some small scale-industries and some agricultural purposes. So MASS use is there but LARGE use of it is not as feasible as that from other sources till now. This way we could save power. Also I personally understand that a mixed bag of many kinds of sources are needed. Again one genuine problem comes whether it could be connected with national grid. Definitely problem will come in this. So cannot be transmitted so easily except in cells. And it has some limitation too. Secondly, also fuels of this could not be easily transported and thirdly, interior states of the country do not have easy access to these fuels mostly (wave, tidal, wind, even solar) and last point is that due to seasonal variation or non-availabilty of fuels across the year we could not be fully dependent on these. So MIXED BAG of other kinds. This shows the way of generation of energy as per local and customised needs to fill the gap............

Value than extra money

idea posted by Sudeep Tarafdar Senior Consultant, IBM
Work four days a week. This was genuinely to spend more time with your family. That was more valuable to you than the extra money, Share one (compact) car with your family of four. Does 45 (UK) mpg average, Have kids (age 4 and 5) that walk or cycle to school most days, Tell your wife to use an electric tricycle for short journeys, Cycle to work every day, all weathers, Use the bus at the weekends as it is cheaper than the car parking charges (for one or two people staying more than a couple of hours), Hire a large vehicle once in the last five years to carry more people in comfort, Get bulk groceries delivered once a month by the supermarket.

We are growing and the most youngers in world which is used for growth.

insted of that we do like it We have to reduce our transmission loss as our transmission losses are of 40%.

I definitely agree with narsingh and if the power is being used for smaller and domestic purposes then it will certainly reduce the burden on the national grid.

Yes, it will definitly cut down distributiona and transmission losses and can be managed effeciently. T&D losses at 7.5% is acceptable. Beyond that is what is stolen and non-metered power

Energy Efficiency

idea posted by Vineeta Kaushik Analyst, Infraline Energy

One unit of electricity saved avoida 2.5 to 3 times of fresh capacity addition. More over India has huges potential for enegry efficiency and the Indian energy efficiency market  is estimated at more than USD 3.1 bn. Energy efficiency projects alone could create 25000 MW of capacity and energy conservation projects could save 23% of total generation.

Promoting Neuclear power

idea posted by Padmaja Baskar Product Development Manager, ONGC

Nuclear power can be a great help in solving the power crisis of India. It can generate lot of energy which can supply electricity to almost all the houses in cheap rates. So more and more nuclear power plants should be introduced

Even in domestic Power also Power factor Penalty/Reward should be included in Tarrif.So that people will be conscious about Power Factor and take action on Improvement of Power Factor.

Besides this Tarrif shall be differant on peak load period and Midnight time by installing Time Switch for differant time.The pressure on Power Plant will come down.

I think ist we have to utilise the totalpower we are producing

As we are the wrost in the world in power transmission. we having upto 40% loss in transmission.

Even we dont' have the total load of a city and how much we are getting the revnue against it.

our Power factor is 0.85 it should be changed to 095 and industry should be pelasied

Balance the prices of energy

idea posted by Sidhartha Singh Sales/BD Manager, Tata Power
There are silver linings as new ideas and new sources have given the country a rejuvenated hope of self-sufficiency in energy as envisaged by the prime minister himself. One such step is setting up of India's first power exchange which aims to not only balance the prices of energy but also spur the capacity addition.

By harnessing the river water before it is drained out in sea

idea posted by Jai Prakash Pandey Corporate Planning/Strategy Manager, Larsen& Toubro Ltd
  • First of all we should construct Hydro- electric Projects as far as possible beause these generate green energy and requires very less maintenance cost. This step will improve the shortage of power. Secondly we should rely on nuclear power as some of projects are doing very well. coming age will be of Hydel and Nuclear Power which will only can acute the power crisis.
