Introduction to Energy
• Energy is the capacity for doing work.
• Such as the capacity to move or change in shape or change in forms of
an object (of a given mass) by the application of force.
• Energy may exist in potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical,
nuclear, or other various forms.
• The energy science deals with scientific principle,
characteristics, laws, rules, units/dimensions, measurements,
processes about various forms of energy and energy
transformation.
• Energy science is mother of all science.
• The applied part of energy science for work and processes,
useful to human society, nations and individuals is called
Energy Technology.
Dr.B.ADHAVAN,AsP- AY-(2022-2023)-OCH752-ET-IV CSE 7
Energy Technology
• The common symbol for energy is the uppercase letter E. The standard
unit is the joule, symbolized by J.
• One joule (1 J) is the energy resulting from the equivalent of one
newton (1 N) of force acting over one meter (1 m) of displacement.
• 1 N is defined as that force necessary to provide a mass of one
kilogram with an acceleration of one metre per second per
second.
• Energy technology is concerned with “demand” for various of
secondary energy ( Usable energy) and methods of “supply”.
• Various factors affecting the demand and supply are in the scope of
energy technology.
• Energy technology includes study of efficiencies and environmental
aspects of various process.

Dr.B.ADHAVAN,AsP- AY-(2022-2023)-OCH752-ET-IV CSE 65
Energy Crisis
• An energy crisis or energy shortage is any significant bottleneck in
the supply of energy resources to an economy.
(or)
• The future scarcity of the energy sources on the earth due to the
over population,urbanization and industrialization is called energy
crisis.

Dr.B.ADHAVAN,AsP- AY-(2022-2023)-OCH752-ET-IV CSE 66


CAUSES OF ENERGY CRISIS
• The causes of energy shortage are:
• 1.Overpopulation and population rise
• 2.Over reliance on non-renewable energy resources.
• 3.Poor energy infrastructure.
• 4.Some countries siphoning energy off from others.
• 5.Poor energy efficiency.
• 6.Overuse of energy.
• 7.Unexplored Renewable Energy Options
• 8. Delay in Commissioning of Power Plants
• 9.Wastage of Energy
• 10Poor Distribution System
• 11.Major Accidents and Natural Calamities
• 12.Wars and Attacks
Dr.B.ADHAVAN,AsP- AY-(2022-2023)-OCH752-ET-IV CSE 67
• 13.Miscellaneous Factors
Tax hikes, strikes, military coup, political events, severe hot summers
or cold winters can cause a sudden increase in demand for energy and
can choke supply. A strike by trade unions in an oil-producing firm can
cause an energy crisis.

• The energy crisis is a result of many different strains on our natural


resources, not just one. There is a strain on fossil fuels such as oil,
gas, and coal due to overconsumption – which then, in turn, can put a
strain on our water and oxygen resources by causing pollution.

Dr.B.ADHAVAN,AsP- AY-(2022-2023)-OCH752-ET-IV CSE 68


Dr.B.ADHAVAN,AsP- AY-(2022-2023)-OCH752-ET-IV CSE 69
Effects of Energy Crisis
• The consequences will likely range from periods of energy-driven
inflation, exacerbating income inequalities, to the looming threat of
power outages and lost economic growth and production.
• 1. Environmental Effects
• Energy is produced by the burning of non-renewable fossil fuels. This
does not only affect the global resources of fossil fuels, but it also
affects the environment. The burning of fossil fuels releases
greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and others. These gases create a
blanket on the earth’s surface, which prevents the release of the short
rays of the sun by night. Thus, the energy crisis facilitates making the
earth a warmer place by promoting global warming.

Dr.B.ADHAVAN,AsP- AY-(2022-2023)-OCH752-ET-IV CSE 70


2. Increasing Prices of the Fuel Resources
• As the use of fossil fuels increases, the cost of these resources increases too. We must
remember that the quantity in which these fossil fuels are available is limited. As we
keep on using these resources, the amount of these fossil fuels further decreases.
• With every passing day, the demand for these fuels increases daily while their available
quantity decreases every day. This leads to an immense increase in the price of fossil
fuels, causing the price to increase day in and day out. This creates a huge economic
disturbance across the globe.
3. Political Disturbances
• The fact that the energy crisis creates some socio-economic disturbances, also tells us
that this global energy crisis also creates a lot of political disturbances across the globe.
The quest for fossil fuels is one of the major causes of the same.
• Besides, with the failure of the energy markets, we see a crash in not only the global
economy but also a crash of the energy available. All these are enough to give rise to
the various socio-political disturbances.
4. The Effect on the Tourism Industry
• The tourism industry is largely dependent on the rise and fall of fuel prices. The
tremendous rise of the fuel prices that comes as a result of the energy crisis affects the
tourism industry pretty adversely.
Dr.B.ADHAVAN,AsP- AY-(2022-2023)-OCH752-ET-IV CSE 71
Possible Solutions to the Problem of Global Energy Crisis
1. Move Towards Renewable Resources
• The best possible solution is to reduce the world’s dependence on non-
renewable resources and to improve overall conservation efforts. Much of the
industrial age was created using fossil fuels, but there is also known
technology that uses other types of renewable energies – such as
steam, solar, and wind.
• The major concern isn’t so much that we will run out of gas or oil, but that the
use of coal is going to continue to pollute the atmosphere and destroy other
natural resources in the process of mining the coal that it has to be replaced
as an energy source.
• This isn’t easy as many of the leading industries use coal, not gas or oil, as
their primary source of power for manufacturing.
2. Buy Energy-Efficient Products
• Replace traditional bulbs with CFLs and LEDs. They use fewer watts of
electricity and last longer. If millions of people across the globe use LEDs and
CFLs for residential and commercial purposes, the demand for energy can go
down, and an energy crisis can be averted.
Dr.B.ADHAVAN,AsP- AY-(2022-2023)-OCH752-ET-IV CSE 72
3. Lighting Controls
• There are a number of new technologies out there that make lighting
controls that much more interesting, and they help to save a lot of
energy and cash in the long run.
• Preset lighting controls, slide lighting, touch dimmers, integrated lighting
controls are few of the lighting controls that can help to conserve
energy and reduce overall lighting costs.
4. Easier Grid Access
• People who use different options to generate power must be given
permission to plug into the grid and getting credit for the power you
feed into it. The hassles of getting credit for supplying surplus power
back into the grid should be removed. Apart from that, subsidy on solar
panels should be given to encourage more people to explore renewable
options.
Dr.B.ADHAVAN,AsP- AY-(2022-2023)-OCH752-ET-IV CSE 73
5. Energy Simulation
• Energy simulation software can be used by big corporates and corporations
to redesign the building unit and reduce running business energy costs.
Engineers, architects, and designers could use this design to come with
most energy-efficient buildings and reduce carbon footprint.
6. Perform Energy Audit
• The energy audit is a process that helps you to identify the areas where your
home or office is losing energy and what steps you can take to improve
energy efficiency.
• Energy audit, when done by a professional, can help you to reduce your
carbon footprint, save energy and money, and avoid energy crisis.
7. Common Stand on Climate Change
• Both developed and developing countries should adopt a common stand on
climate change. They should focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions
through an effective cross border mechanism.
Dr.B.ADHAVAN,AsP- AY-(2022-2023)-OCH752-ET-IV CSE 74
Energy Alternatives
• Alternative energy sources are renewable and are thought to be
"free" energy sources. They all have lower carbon emissions,
compared to conventional energy sources.
• These include
• 1.Biomass Energy,
• 2.Wind Energy,
• 3.Solar Energy,
• 4. Geothermal Energy,
