    Energy is an essential input for economic development and for improving the quality of life. India’s per capita consumption of commercial energy is only one eighth of global average. Industrial countries with only 22% of world’s population produce 54% of total global energy and consume 84% of it. On the other hand, developing countries with 78% of world’s population produce only 46% of total energy and consume just 16% of it.…

    The use of alternative energy sources versus the use of traditional energy sources has become one of the country’s, if not the world’s, most heated debate in recent years. For the purposes of this paper, the term “alternative energy” refers to any form of energy that is not derived from fossil fuels. Alternative energy sources like wind farms, solar cells, hydroelectric dams, biomass fuels, and nuclear power have been considered to be attainable sources that will be able to sustain the global population’s high demands. Traditional energy sources like oil, gas and coal are what the modern world knows and is most comfortable with, as its established fountain of fuel. Weighing the benefits and drawbacks of one power source over another is a complicated process. There are many factors to consider, including everything from understanding the environmental effects of a particular type of power production and consumption, to addressing the power needs of the people and finding methods for delivering the power. Looking at both sides of this issue and surmising which argument seems to hold more water will allow for a reasonable conclusion to be made in favor of one side versus the other.…

    Power Trading in India

    • 5020 Words
    • 21 Pages

    Power trading inherently means a transaction where the price of power is negotiable and options exist about whom to trade with and for what quantum. In India, power trading is in an evolving stage and the volumes of exchange are not huge. All ultimate consumers of electricity are largely served by their respective State Electricity Boards or their successor entities, Power Departments, private licensees etc. and their relationship is primarily that of captive customers versus monopoly suppliers. In India, the generators of electricity like Central Generating Stations (CGSs), Independent Power Producers (IPPs) and State Electricity Boards (SEBs) have all their capacities tied up. Each SEB has an allocated share in central sector/ jointly owned projects and is expected to draw its share without much say about the price. In other words, the suppliers of electricity have little choice about whom to sell the power and the buyers have no choice about whom to purchase their power from.…

    Smart Grid Technology

    • 931 Words
    • 4 Pages

    India has a power grid that is ripe for renovation and transformation. More than a third of the nation’s grid electricity is lost to power theft and inefficiencies, and that doesn’t include the half of the population that has no grid electricity at all. For those who do, daily blackouts are a common occurrence, and major system-wide failures, like last year’s blackout that left 600 million people in the dark, point to long-term challenges in matching power supply with booming demand.…
