Revolutionary Concept of Power management
For a clean and green planet
With NO energy shortage
2
Can India be energy surplus in two years
remember the green revolution?

• Yes
• Our strategies and focus can help India to
• Become an energy surplus state within two years
  with zero additional generation.
• Earn a very large number of Carbon Points

India 2006 The Power scenario

• Power Shortage is a major problem for India -
  leads to compounded problems with Low frequency,
  tripping of generators and Load shedding in
  nearly all parts of the country.
• Poor power factor, a feature of poor quality
  equipment, leads to low voltage. Use of
  equipments to correct voltage further compounds
  the problem.

India 2006 The Power scenario, contd.

• Power shortage/quality thus leads to large scale
  use of Voltage Stabilisers, Inverters,
  Generators, UPS Systems, etc.
• Such Electrical Equipments, which require
  unwanted investments, in turn not only lead to
  enhanced shortage in the overall situation but
  also cause air and soil pollution by burning of
  coal, diesel, etc.
• Widespread use of lead-acid batteries in these
  equipments further causes pollution of soil and
  water.

5
What is the effect of Stabilisers?

• Voltage Stabilisers dont have efficiencies
  better than 80. While a 1.5 Tr AC consumes 2
  units its stabiliser consumes 0.4 units it even
  consumes power if left ON when AC is OFF.
• Assuming we have 10 Million ACs in India on
  account of stabilisers for ACs alone we lose
  around 4 million units, even during peak hours,
  which is double the power generated by many large
  generating stations.
• Assuming an AC runs for 5 hours in a day, this
  means a loss of 20 million units per day.

6
What is the effect of Inverters?

• The average efficiency of the domestic inverters
  is 50 and unlike fuel-based generators,
  inverters dont generate power.
• There is an estimated 50 million inverters being
  used for domestic purposes each consuming say
  250W/day or 0.25 units. The power drain by
  inverters is thus to the tune of 12.5 million
  units.
• Further, inverters use lead-acid batteries which
  severely pollute the environment.

7
Other equipments-how they affect

• UPS systems being like inverters cause power
  wastage and pollution by use of lead-acid
  batteries.
• Diesel/Kerosene gensets not only cause pollution
  but also deplete scarce natural resources.

8
Power Generation in India

• The total installed capacity in the country is
  1,26,000 MW.
• Assuming a plant load factor of 0.7, the
  generation is 2,116.8 million units/day.

9
Power loss Pumps Motors

• Pumps/Motors consume roughly 20 of total
  electricity in India. An estimated 75 of this is
  consumed by the pumps for agricultural sector
  mainly for water/irrigation. The balance is for
  other motor applications.
• Most Indian pumps operate at 33 efficiency while
  motors have an average efficiency of 40. These
  cause heavy loss of electrical energy.
• Taking usage of 4 units at 4 hours/day, the
  consumption in this category is over 250 million
  units/day and the estimated loss is 160 million
  units/day.

Power Generated How does it flow? Where does it
go?

• Generating Station

100 units
Transmission System 4 losses
96 units
Unavoidable Distribution Losses - 15
Billed to consumer 53 units
82 units
20 loss
Pilferage -35 losses 29 units
Energy usefully consumed 42 units (max.)
11
Pilferage

• Pilferage (Power theft) in India is responsible
  for the disappearance of 29 of electricity
  generated.
• In energy terms this amounts to 613.87 million
  units/day.

12
Simple Mathematics No rocket science

• Power Generation capacity 1,26,000 MW
• Power available/day 2116.80
  MU
• Power consumed/day -
• Transmission line
  84.67 MU
• Unavoidable distribution losses 296.35 MU
• Pilferage 613.87 MU
• Used by consumer (max.) 889.06 MU
• Wasted by consumer (min.) 232.85 MU
• MU Million units/day

13
Power Loss Summary Table
14
Investment at consumer and national level

• Each element of this loss means additional
  equipment leading to mind-boggling capital
  expenses by the Nation the Consumer
• PLUS
• Higher energy costs and use of scarce fuel
  resources.

15
Impact of wastage

• At the national level all this wastage adds up
  to 850 Million units/day against a capacity of
  2,116.8 Million Units/day.
• The cost of setting up a 1000 MW power plant
  entails a capital cost of approx 5000 Cr.
  Considering a plant load factor of 0.7, it
  generates about 16.8 Million Units/day .
  Transmission cost is another about 3000 Cr.

16
Cost of wastage

• Wastage of 16.8 Million Units/day, requires a
  capital outlay to the tune of Rs. 8,000 Cr.
• Wastage of 850 Million Units/day implies a
  wasteful capital blockage of over Rs. 4,00,000
  Crores with a recurring daily loss of over Rs.
  250 Cr. and an annual loss of over Rs. 90,000 Cr

Delhis Power shortage woes

• Delhis peak power requirement is 3268 MW. A mere
  shortage of 160 MW has created havoc during July
  first week with heavy load shedding in the city.
• Further requirement stated is an additional 2000
  MW to be added by 2010.
• Hindustan Times in its article on 11.7.06
  declares that Delhis problem cant be solved
  before 2010 in any case. Not true!

18
Are Delhis power problems big?

• Delhis power requirements look small in
  comparison to what we waste by mismanagement of
  power.
• Adding generation is slow and long term as
  compared to power saving which can be done fast.

19
National Level Statistics-TD

• India has the reputation of having the highest
  distribution losses in the world with a figure of
  nearly 47, ranking above Burma with 36 losses
  and Bangladesh at 33 .
• How do we bring these losses down and become an
  energy surplus Nation?

20
National Level Statistics-Generation

• All India Peak Load requirement for 200607 is
  1,30,944 MW. Installed capacity is 1,26,000 MW.
• For the 10th Five year plan the capacity is to be
  enhanced by 34,000 MW.
• Powerful energy management ideas can thus yield
  saving of over 40,000 MW (1MU/day translates to
  around 60MW) placing us years ahead in our march
  to energy availability, sufficiency and increased
  efficiency of natural resource management plus
  lower pollutions.
• We can thus very comfortably realize the
  governments declared goal of total self
  sufficiency of power by year 2012, much earlier.

21
Detrimental Environmental/ Financial effects

• Unwanted increase in emissions of smoke and gas
  from burning of coal.
• Increased lead pollution from use of lead-acid
  batteries in Inverters and UPS systems.
• Increased emission of smoke and gas from gensets
  on account of burning of diesel/ kerosene to take
  care of power shortages.
• Rapid depletion of resources like petroleum and
  coal.
• Besides the higher tariffs which the consumer
  pays, the country also loses valuable foreign
  exchange.

22
Is there a solution to all this wastage and chaos?
YES !
We have the solution.
23
Our Commitment

• Whereas we are capable of achieving savings of
  over 20,000 MW, we can help save 5,000 MW in the
  first instance, provided a commitment is made to
• Implement the solutions nation-wide
• Take care of our interests, commensurate with the
  gains.
