Abstract
If we look back few years into the past, we come to know that with the rapid development of human societies, day to day modern life and smart industries, etc. becomes so hungry and greedy for electrical energy. Today, Electrical energy is being consumed by every single machine used in almost each and every application. Conventional and nonrenewable sources like coal, oil, gas, etc. have been depleting very fast, and the world should now shift more towards renewable sources like solar, wind, tidal, etc. for harnessing electricity. Electricity consumption is increased in the industrial and domestic sectors due to the increased comfort (air conditioning) requirements, increment in the usage of power-consuming devices and the sudden increment in building occupancy area. This paper shows the current status of demand and supply scenario of electrical energy in the world and India. Generation capacities as per the renewable and nonrenewable sources in India have been discussed in detail. Almost 45% share of the electrical energy consumed in the industrial or commercialized and domestic buildings is consumed for air conditioning purposes. the brief discussion is presented in this paper on the sales and distribution of the air conditioning units and future possibilities in the same field as per the sustainable development scenario.
Highlights
India stands at the 3rd position in terms of economy and 2nd in terms of population in the world. electricity demand of such a large and diverse country is very high and it is increasing day by day. if we look at the figures India having an 18% share in the population of the world
If energy is drawn from the depleting resource like fossil fuels it is called the nonrenewable source of primary energy and if the energy is derived from the non-depleting resources like hydro, solar, wind, waves, etc. it is called as a renewable source of primary energy
In the view of achieving sustainable development, India should shift more dependency on renewable sources like solar, wind, tidal, etc.Indian governments, funding agencies should support Researchers to initiate the Research and Development efforts to increase the use of innovative Air Conditioning technologies that use refrigerants with low global-warming potential (GWP) and Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP)
Summary
India stands at the 3rd position in terms of economy and 2nd in terms of population in the world. electricity demand of such a large and diverse country is very high and it is increasing day by day. if we look at the figures India having an 18% share in the population of the world. The total carbon dioxide emission of India in 2013 was 2100 million tonnes, which is almost increased by 4.4% from 2012 which makes India the fourth largest GHG (Green House Gas) emitter country, this high ranking is due to its huge population and use of fossil fuels for electricity generation [8]. All these facts and problems attracted the attention of researchers and environmental enthusiasts in developed and developing nations. Sales and distribution of air conditioning units have been reviewed and future possibilities in an Indian market are anticipated
