EGF Energy Conservation Practices

Preamble Energy resource scarcity becomes one of the biggest issues in the world and leading to rise in cost. Effective utilization of Electrical energy is one of the key issues to minimize the rising cost of energy and to minimize the global warming. This course will educate the non-electrical engineers on the aspect of energy conservation in electrical equipment and Electrical Installations. It will helpful to select an energy efficient electrical system for an establishment. Programme Outcomes addressed a. c. d. e. h. i. j. An ability to apply knowledge of engineering, information technology, mathematics and science An ability to design a system or component, or process to meet stated specifications An ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems An ability to use techniques, skills and modern engineering tools to implement and organize engineering works under given constraints An ability to function on multidisciplinary teams An ability to engage in life-long learning An ability to consider social, environmental, economic and ethical impact of engineering activities in a given context

Competencies At the end of the course the student should be able to:

1. Explain the basic principle of Energy Management and Conservation 2. Select Energy Efficient gadgets for domestic, commercial and industrial
applications

3. Estimate the energy performance of Electrical Equipment 4. Get familiar about the energy conservation practice
