Energy Scenario in INDIA
Living in harmony with Nature
In INDIA, despite POWER being the life line of Progress there is :
• Acute shortage of Energy, Power Cuts leading to Erratic Power
supply and loss of production, comfort.
• Ever rising cost of power per unit due to high cost of distribution
and transmission, subsidies and power thefts
• Increasing deficit between Power Generation and Demand
resulting out of rapid infra-structural development and industrial
growth
• High Environmental damage caused by traditional Energy
Resources and Power Plants resulting in global warming
• Average Indian is being held to ransom by the Oil Producing
countries
Why Renewable Energy
Living in harmony with Nature
Alternate Source of Energy is the need of the hour and would
provide the means to :
• Combat rising energy prices by harnessing Perpetual sources
of Energy - Wind, Solar, Water and Geo-Thermal Energy
• Virtual ZERO Global Warming
• Achieve Freedom and Insulation from Crude Oil Price
fluctuations
• Self Reliance, since Renewable Energy Generation can be
set up at point of usage, thereby reducing Transmission
Losses and Pilferage
• Increase bottom lines due to guarantee in meeting production
schedules, minimal loss of productive time and fixed price of
energy

The Power of Solar – Some Awesome Figures
Living in harmony with Nature
•
SOLAR Provides the best alternative for meeting the
Industrial and Domestic needs the world over
•
The sun provides with 174 Petawatts (PW) of solar
energy,
•
The world uses 16 Terrawatts (0.009%) of this
energy today
•
More than 50% of Energy Needs are thermal (Heat)
1 Terrawatt = 1012 W
1 Petawatt = 1015 W

What is Photovoltaics
Living in harmony with Nature
• In Photovoltaic (solar) systems light energy is converted
into electricity.
• A Solar Cell is the basic element of each photovoltaic
system.
• Solar cells produce direct current electricity from light,
which can be used to power equipment or to recharge a
battery .
• The first practical application of photovoltaics was to power
orbiting satellites and other spacecraft.

Challenges in Implementing Photovoltaic (PV) Systems
Living in harmony with Nature
• Storage is mainly Battery based and inherits its inefficiencies
• Battery replacement is a recurring cost
• Most Electrical equipment run on AC Supply, hence PV
System requires 3 levels of conversions :
Battery Charging/ Discharing
Inverter DCAC
• This results in about 20% to 27% additional losses
• Lack of Net Metering for small and medium systems
• Large PV Systems rely heavily on government subsidies and
policies
Batteries are like Bottles
Living in harmony with Nature
•
Storage Batteries are like bottles
•
The Time taken to fill-up or empty the bottle is determined
by the bottle neck.
•
Similarly time taken to charge a battery is determined by
the Charge rate of a battery
•
Simply increasing battery capacity does not ensure
capturing the full energy generated by Renewable
Resources

Challenges in Implementing Solar Thermal in Buildings
Living in harmony with Nature
• As seen from the previous charts, the Domestic Hot Water
Requirement Peak does not match with the generation peak
• Storage of Thermal Energy is not used
• A lot of generated energy is wasted through overheating and
therefore steaming due to lack of demand at generation peaks
• Very little control on the temperature and availability
• Due to lop-sided generation and utilization, hot water availability
is largely on first come first served basis
• Lack of terrace areas to cater to the complete demands of the
building

What are Phase Change Materials
Living in harmony with Nature
•
Phase Change Materials (PCM) are hydrated salts /
organic mixtures that have capacity to store large
amount of heat in the form of Latent Heat.
•
This Latent Heat is absorbed or released when the
materials change state from solid to liquid or liquid to
solid.
•
The PCM retains its latent heat without any change in
physical or chemical properties over thousands of
cycles.
•
Various specific temperature PCM’s are commercially
available in the market for various applications.
