Energy conservation practices have acquired top priority,
in the present context of increasing energy prices,
acute energy shortage and the ever-widening demand supply
gap.
A multi-pronged approach is advocated for achieving
energy conservation. This approach comprises of pursuing/
adopting the following three-pronged approach
|
1 |
Capacity
utilisation |
| 2 |
Fine
tuning |
| 3 |
Technology
upgradation |
Capacity utilization involves optimally utilizing the
available resources. This is a least cost option.
Fine-tuning is incorporating small changes in the existing
system to get major gains in energy efficiency. These
fine tuning methods normally do not involve high investments.
With the advent of new technologies, Technology upgradation
can result in mega savings in energy. Though this involves
higher investments to be made, they can prove to be
highly beneficial in the long run.
Capacity utilization and fine tuning can result in energy
savings to the extent of 5 - 15 % while technology upgradation
could yield up to
30 - 40 %.
Several successful energy efficient companies have adopted
the three pronged approach and reaped rich benefits.
The Indian industry and individual beneficiary units
can utilise the energy efficiency aspects covered in
this website, by fine-tuning to their individual needs
and achieve energy efficiency.
