1.1 GENERAL The most important and crucial problems faced by the world include not only energy crisis, depleting fossil fuel, environmental pollution and poor energy efficiency, but also the severe consequences faced by humans in their day-to-day life. While analysing the past decades, the surplus energy crisis have been satisfied by burning coal, hydrocarbons-oil, and natural gas, which in-turn leads to the carbon emissions that further leads to form environmental pollution. The major environmental
electricity consumption. Energy consumption in building industry is mainly dependent on the typology of construction, consumption pattern, the climatic conditions and the energy intensive devices used in the buildings. Different ways of end use of energy in buildings, viz., lighting, space conditioning, plug-in loads and other appliances all together constitute the overall energy consumption of a building. Energy consumption is not only determined by the type of the energy end use appliances but also
Sector Specific Company Analysis Power is said to be the core industry as it facilitates growth to various sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, residential, railways, and infrastructure developments. The Indian economic growth is correlated with the progress of Power industries as the ever growing demand of population for electricity demand is peaking. With the growth of power sector it is predicted that 12th Five year plan requires Rs. 13, 72,580 crores of funds for generation, distribution
Importance and Need of Energy Conservation has been stressed in the earlier chapter. This chapter deals with review of literature. Most of the Studies on Energy Conservation have focused on potential of Energy Conservation and measures to be adopted for Energy Conservation by different sectors of the economy. Hereby an attempt has been made to go through different types of Literature on Energy Conservation. Special
Abstract— Energy is very important in the entire process of evolution, growth and survival of the world. The increasing energy demand has an adverse effect on the environment and also an increasing pressure for a government. For a developing country like India, the energy criterion decides the growth of the country. Being the third largest power producer in the world, energy demand and scarcity rules the country. Energy demand in our country is increasing exponentially. Energy conservation can be
Conventional power resources are those sources of energy which have been in common use for a long time such as Firewood and fossil fuels. Conventional power resources Firewood It is widely used in villages for cooking and heating. In India more than fifty per cent of the energy used by villagers comes from fire wood. It is very harmful for the environment. It is also the main cause of greenhouse
Abstract—This paper describes some ideas about the design of the Scheffler reflectors and how it is developed. Scheffler reflector has wide range of applications where medium and high temperatures are needed. Scheffler fixed focus concentrators are successfully used for medium temperature applications in different parts of the world. These concentrators are taken as lateral sections of paraboloids and provide fixed focus away from the path of incident beam radiations throughout the year. The paper

However, the changes could be significant with its small but dispersed in the future. Most experts and researches have proved that changes caused by humans, it may be from carbon emission that traps gases from factors like: car exhaust, factories, power station release to the atmosphere after burning fossil
