OBJECTIVES

To impart knowledge on Generation of electrical power by conventional and non–conventional methods.

Electrical energy conservation, energy auditing and power quality.

Principle and design of illumination systems and methods of heating and welding. Electric traction systems and their performance.

Industrial applications of electric drives.

UNIT I POWER GENERATION        9

Review of conventional methods – thermal, hydro and nuclear based power generation.       Non- conventional methods of power generation – fuel cells - tidal waves – wind – geothermal – solar - bio-mass  -  municipal  waste.  Cogeneration.  Effect  of  distributed  generation  on  power  system operation.

UNIT II            ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF GENERATION            9

Economic aspects of power generation – load and load duration curves – number and size of units – cost of electrical energy – tariff. Economics of power factor improvement – power capacitors – power quality. Importance of electrical energy conservation  –  methods –  energy efficient equipments. Introduction to energy auditing.

UNIT III           ILLUMINATION         9

Importance of lighting – properties of good lighting scheme – laws of illumination – photometry - types of  lamps  –  lighting  calculations  –  basic  design  of  illumination  schemes for        residential, commercial, street lighting, and sports ground - energy efficiency lamps.

UNIT IV           INDUSTRIAL HEATING AND WELDING   9
