Electrical Energy Flow
Consumers (Demand or Load) e.g
Lighting -Computer/IT Equipment -Industrial
Processes
Power Generation (Thermal, Hydro-electric,
Nuclear) (Supply) Or Non-conventional (Solar PV,
Wind etc)
Transmission and Distribution Network (T D)
Load-shedding? Demand is more than supply
(Basically a Power Shortage/Power Cut)
Ideally... SupplyDemand (Power-generatedPower-co
nsumed)
Increasing supply rapidly is very difficult

Generation-waste affects the mother environment

Challenges involved...!!

• Increasing generation is difficult...
• Raw materials, water, environmental effects of
  generation waste, manpower, economics...?
• Even if generation is increased, similar
  complexities involved in modifying T D network
  for increased capacity is equivalent to
  broadening the roads for carrying more number of
  vehicles...one can imagine!

Why Switch-off?
I am worried about my successors
(students/researchers) who are coming to our
university in the futurehope they will
not experience any load sheddingit will affect
their studies and nightlife in Manchester I am
worried about football/cricket/rugby fans/players
in Manchester I am worried about the patients
in hospitals.... I am worried about the Power
Shortage developing countries are facing and
developed countries may face (ultimately
effect is/will be global) Are you worried about
anything? Dont worry Just switch off the
lights and electrical appliances when they are
not required and be happy ? ...and you become an
Environment Champion
