MODULE I
Introduction
• In every human activity different forms of
energy required
– Domestic
– Transportation
– Agriculture
– Industry
What is Energy?
13
Forms of energy
• Kinetic Energy.
• Potential energy.
• Heat energy.
• Chemical energy.
• Radiant energy.
• Electrical energy.
• Nuclear energy.
14
Scales of quantities
• Ranges from femto(10-15) to yotta(1024 )
• Femtosecond laser 10-15, nono meters (10-9),
artificial pace maker(10-6) 60 micro watts,
scientific calculator , house hold bulb (5W -
200W),space telescopes 2400W, car battery
5000W to 60kW vehicle battery , submarine
power (10 6),giga bytes to tera byte storage ,
super computers 100s of peta flops
• 500 exa joules of energy usage per year
Energy sources
• Primary energy sources.
– Provide a net supply of energy
– Eg. Coal,oil,uranium.
• Secondary sources.
– Produce no net energy.
– Solar,water and wind energy
• Supplementary sources.
– Net energy yield is zero
16
Energy consumption-
a measure of prosperity
• Prosperity measured by its per capita energy
consumption.
• Per capita consumption is a measure of per
capita income.
• Energy crisis reasons
– Population increase
– Increase in standard of living
17
Energy scenario in India
• Installed capacity as on July 31st 2020 -
371.977GW.
• Conventional energy - 87.55%
• Renewable energy sources - 12.45%
• Total annual generation as on 2020 -1053.9TWhr.
• Percapita energy consumption as on 2020
-1181kWh.
• India is world’s third largest energy consumer.
