Energy conserved and saved is equivalent to energy generated. Spending on Energy conservation not only reduces energy bills, but same precious natural resources and reduce investments required in additional power generation capacity. In 2050 the world economy will be four time as large as today, generating an 80% increase in the amount of energy we consume. The energy intensity per square meter of the global building sector needs to improve on average by 30% by 2030 (Compared to 2015) to be on track to meet global climate ambitious set forth in the paris agreement.

Power in India, India is the 3rd largest Producer and 2nd largest consumer of electricity in world. Installed Generation capacity is 393 GW as of Dec 2021. and demand increasing 8% average year by year. Power is among the most critical component of infrastructure crucial for the economic growth and welfare of nations.

We should address the challenges, effects and solution.

1. Power Quality Monitoring ( what we can't measure we can't manage it)

2. Energy Management System

3. Power factor correction System

4. Harmonics Mitigation

5. Variable Speed Drives

6. Thyristor Power Controller 

7. Energy Efficient Equipment

8. Smart devices and Controllers

9. Process Monitoring System

10. Renewable and Waste energy conversion

Calibration helps a power plant to maintain and improve safety, as well as to meet national and international standards. However, calibration is also a matter of profitability. By using high-accuracy calibration equipment, the accuracy of vital measurements can be maintained at required levels and plants can increase their annual power production capability.

Instrumentation is used to measure energy flow within power and energy operations in order to monitor and improve operations. 

While these instruments are not directly used for billing purposes, their proper operation is often key to identifying and  preventing energy losses that can have large economic consequences.Failure to properly calibrate these instruments can leas to significant economic consequences.

Instruments typically calibrated in power plants include transmitters, switches, gauges, transducers, frequency devices and pulse counters. Failure to properly in a timely manner is an important aspect of ensuring the environment integrity of the process that can reduce the number and severity of environmental issues.

Increasing productivity and safety

Accurate measurements can allow increased energy production. For instance, reducing the measurements uncertainty in a power plant can potentially increase electrical production to nearly 2 % .
