ENERGY: Explore, Harness & Conserve
Energy is crucial input parameter in everyday life
Energy is important for economic development
Energy consumption decides well-being of society
Energy availability directs progress of country
Energy is key to sustainable development
ENERGY RESOURCES
Deals with different resources
Renewable (solar, wind, water, bio-mass...)
and
Non-renewable (coal, lignite, oil, natural gas....)
ENERGY RESOURCES
Some project ideas:
Exploration and identification of energy
resources in and around my school / home
(origin, classification, usage)
Assessment of bio-mass resources available in
my village (animals / plants, energy potential)
Wind mapping in my locality (wind velocity at different
sites / locations)
ENERGY SYSTEMS
Deals with interrelated network, conversion
transmission / distribution of energy sources
Focuses on devices / processes of conversion
from one to another useable forms,
performance analysis, and faesibility
ENERGY SYSTEMS
Some project ideas
Energy efficiency of different chullahs in my
village (identify, sketch / design, energy efficiency)
Different types of solar cooker made of locally
available materials (ply sheets, rubber tubing)
Comparison of food web in different natural
ecosystems (identify, interrelationship, energy)
ENERGY AND SOCIETY
Deals with influence of societal pattern on
consumption of available and accessible
energy sources
ENERGY AND SOCIETY
Some project ideas
Energy utilization in my locality (collect data on
gender, age, economic status, energy utilized for different
aspects, compare, analyze)
Influence of festivities on energy consumption
pattern (energy consumption during festivals versus non-
festival days)
Assessment of animal draught power versus
machine (compare different uses, efficiency, economics)
ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT
Deals with impact of non-renewable energy
sources on environment during production,
processing, consumption, transmission....
ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT
Some project ideas
Impact of coal-based thermal plants (mapping,
wind direction, human health, flora, fauna)
Energetic assessment of cycle-driven rickshaws
(indirect impact on environment)
Effect of fuel used in kitchen on health of
women (type of stove/chullah, fuel used, health record)
ENERGY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT
Deals with assessment of demand, uses, misuse
at different stages, and developing strategies
for conservation
ENERGY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT
Some project ideas
Electrical /water energy audit of school
(installations, billing, saving opportunities)
Understanding green building (identify
building/house, daylight, wind, temperature)
Energy saving options in house/school/hospital
(installations, billing, saving opportunities)
ENERGY PLANNING AND MODELING
Deals with projection of future needs in light of
present demand, development of strategies to
meet the same through mathematical models
ENERGY PLANNING AND MODELING
Some project ideas
Micro-level energy planning - for my school /
home (identify energy guzzlers, options available, integrate)
Modeling for grey water recycling in my building
/ colony (availability, options of utilization)
Optimizing energy consumption in school /
office (factors responsible – infrastructure, timings, integrate)
