Electrical Energy Saving

Power Generation(Thermal, Hydro-electric, Nuclear)

(Supply)Or

Non-conventional(Solar PV, Wind etc)

Consumers(Demand or Load)

e.g: Lighting-Computer/IT Equipment

-Industrial Processes

Ideally...Supply=Demand

(Power-generated=Power-consumed)

Transmission and DistributionNetwork(T & D)

DemandRapidly increasing

Supply

Load-shedding?Demand is more than supply (Basically a Power Shortage/Power Cut)

Increasing supply rapidly is very difficult

Electrical Energy Flow

Generation-waste affects the mother environment

Increasing generation is difficult...Raw materials, water, environmental effects of generation waste, manpower, economics...

Even if generation is increased, similar complexities involved in modifying T & D network for increased capacity is equivalent to broadening the roads for carrying more number of vehicles...one can imagine!

Challenges involved...!!

I am worried about my successors (students/researchers) whoare coming to our university in the future…hope they will notexperience any load shedding…it will affect their studies andnightlife in Manchester…

I am worried about football/cricket/rugby fans/players in Manchester…

I am worried about the patients in hospitals....

I am worried about the Power Shortage developing countriesare facing and developed countries may face (ultimately effectis/will be global…)

Don’t worry…
