“An Innovative Solution For Power SHORTAGE In India”

CSIR-Advanced Materials and Processes Research Institute, Bhopal

Introduction

• Water, power and health are the three most important items necessary for any country. Apart from water, power is utmost important for every person.
• India is now facing acute shortage of power by all, more specifically by our industry sector. Due to this problem, our economy is not growing as per our expectation.
• Earlier, for a similar situation related to food, we could overcome the problem through Green Revolution. Later, we could overcome the malnutrition for our younger children and babies through White Revolution.
• Now, we are facing power shortage problem and the time has come to bring out Energy Revolution. The economic growth of the country crucially depends upon the generation of power and also on the per capita consumption. As compared to many countries, India per capita consumption is far below. In such a situation, we need to make an advance plan for the future.
• In the present study, an innovative solution is suggested for our power problem.
• As the population is increasing more people started using the latest technologies with many comforts. The demand for power is increasing year after year.

• For example,

Citizen’s life style is also changing fast. Persons travelling by bi-cycles earlier, want to travel by motor cycles.

Persons travelling by motor cycles want to travel by cars.

Persons using fans earlier, want air-conditioning equipment.

People use to wash their clothes earlier manually want to use washing machines etc.

​

All such things need more power. People’s way of living is changing fast due to new electrical gadgets introduced with technological advancement for comfortable living. People living in under developed countries want to live like developing countries. People from developing countries want to have same comforts as that of the citizens living in developed countries. Of course, it is the right of every citizen in this planet to live the way they want to live. This driving force is one of the major factors for the present day energy demand in the whole world.

Power sector – the present scenario

• We have generated 255 GW of power during the year 2014. This generation of power can be divided into two different fuel types, namely, the renewable fuels and non renewable fuels.

​

• Accordingly, 72% of power is being generated using non-renewable sources such as coal, diesel, nuclear etc., and 28% of power is being generated using renewable sources – such as hydro, small hydro, wind, solar, biomass etc.

Power sector and its future demand

• Power generation and the expected demand for power in different years from the year 2014 until 2024 with expected annual growth rate of 7, 8, and 9%.

Power sector – smart plan

• We have plenty of sunlight
• We have plenty of wind during all seasons
• We have many rivers, Himalayan mountains
• We have more than 300 hot springs
• We have vast landmass 3,287,263 km²
• We have large technical manpower

The non-renewable energy fuels is multiplied with a number close to 1 and renewable energy sources are multiplied with different numbers depends on the growth and resources available in our country.

• Finally, the near zero power generation from geothermal resources need to be increased to 5 GW electricity. This solution will make India less dependent on other countries.

​

• Even in our old ancient books (PURANAS), it is clearly stated that Mahapanchabhutam are the solution to our energy needs.
• They are-Jal (hydro power), Vayu (wind power), Agni (biomass), Prithvi (coal thermal power) and Akash (solar power).
• However, instead of depending on all these sources, we concentrated only on the fuels available inside the earth (Prithvi). This is the main problem of our earlier power planning. Thus, the suggested solution will make our country strong economically.
