Opportunities in Power Sector in India By Prof.Mahendra & Rajanikant

July 2011

As energy plays a very important role in industrial production and common

man’s life, it has become extremely important to boost the growth in energy seg-

ment for the growth of the country. The total demand for electricity in India is ex-

pected to cross 950,000 MW by 2030.

According to a research report India is expected to add up to 113 GW of installed

capacity by 2017. Further, renewable capacity might increase from 15.5 GW to

36.0 GW. The boom in the industry coupled with the large resource gap provides

for plenty of employment opportunities in the power sector. The sector is also at-

tractive from the perspective of professional growth and development. The increase

in investments in energy efficiencies and renewable energy technologies, India is

likely to create 10.5 million job opportunities in the clean energy sector by 2012.

According to a report by the Climate Group, the wind sector in India predicted to

be worth Rs 60,000 crore in 2020 could create between 150,000 to 250,000 jobs.

Similarly, the solar industry, predicted to be worth Rs 32,000 crore, could generate

between 117,000 to 235,000 jobs by 2020 and small hydro and biomass sectors are

expected to be worth Rs 27,000 crore and Rs 32,000 crore respectively in 2020.

Newsletter Electrical Department

In this issue of newsletter we are going green with refer-

ence to energy conservation and saving our earth.

Electrical Engineering department has a huge responsibility

towards energy conservation and developing new technol-

ogy of power generation as per example by harnessing re-

newable source of energy like solar energy, wind energy

etc. Celebrating environment day with this noble thought

we present you this issue of VIDYUT

“Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it”

From the editor-in-chief’s desk Energy Conservation and Generation in India

Energy being an important element of the infra-

structure sector has to be ensured its availability on

sustainable basis. On the other hand, the demand for

energy is growing manifold and the energy sources

are becoming scarce and costlier. Among the vari-

ous strategies to be evolved for meeting energy de-

mand, efficient use of energy and its conservation

emerges out to be the least cost option in any given

strategies, apart from being environmentally benign.

The energy problems are increasing

day by day. They are serious and can become criti-

cal in the coming time. We should follow certain

energy saving programmers. The life style should

be modified. One should preserve the energy by

switching off the lights which are not required. The

excessive consumption of oil should be checked.

The oil must be protected from the fire. All other

alternative sources of energy like the solar energy

and different types of power like nuclear, wind and

hydroelectric must be used more. So all the citizens

of India should give their proper attention and in-

volvement in saving energy at individual level. The

first issue of VIDYUT was a great success. I would

like to thank all including the readers for making

last issue successful. So following it we are making

this issue more beneficial for all the readers. In this

issue we have covered the STTP and all other

happenings of last few months. I hope that you all

will find this issue of VIDYUT more interesting.

A national movement for

energy conservation can

significantly reduce the

need for fresh investment in

energy supply systems in

coming years. It is impera-

tive that all-out efforts are

made to realize this poten-

tial. Energy conservation is

an objective to which all the

citizen in the country can

contribute. Whether a

household or a factory, a

small shop or a large com-

mercial building, a farmer

or a office worker, every

user and producer of energy

can and must make this ef-

fort for his own benefit, as

well as that of the nation.

Adieu to 2007-2011 batch of Elec-trical Department………...

A farewell program was organized by

Electrical Department to felicitate our

2007-2011 batch. With every pass-

ing year one of our batch has to leave

college. We wish them all luck for

their bright future.

The four long years which they have

spent with us will be memorable for

them and for us as well. We wish that

wherever they go they will glorify

their name and our college name. ALL

THE BEST

Final year students have visited the 753 km long link is

a bipole of rating ± 500 kV and 1500 MW on 31st

March. It has been commissioned in 1999. Additionally,

HVDC offered advantage of improved stability, lower

transmission losses, no addition to short-circuit level of

existing system and better controllability.

Third year students have visited 4x220MW Kaiga

Atomic Power Station, Kaiga in Karnataka in

April.Kaiga is NPCIL's sixth nuclear power plant site.

Kaiga 4 has raised the installed capacity at the power

station here to 880 MW, the third largest site of NPCIL

after Tarapur and Rawatbhata.
