Write short notes on any four of the following:
1. Energy Mix
Answer : In each region of the
world, energy supply depends on the economic and political situation and the
accessibility of different resources. Because of this, the distribution of
consumption per energy source is not always the same from one region of the
world to another - in other words, the energy mix varies.
THE ENERGY MIX: DEFINITION
Each country uses energy
differently, defining its
2. The Planning
Commission
Answer : The Planning Commission
is an institution in the Government of India, which formulates India's
Five-Year Plans, among other functions.
Rudimentary economic planning,
deriving the sovereign authority of the state, first initiated in India in 1938
by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose when he was the Congress president and drafted by
Meghnad Saha. The British Raj also formally established a planning board that
functioned from 1944 to 1946. Industrialists and economists
3. Process of
recruiting officers and employees of Bureau
Answer : Written Test and Panel Interview
The most competitive candidates
will be contacted and scheduled for one day of testing and a panel interview.
Candidates will receive a detailed email regarding location, time and other
pertinent information. The test takes place at an FBI facility and consists of
two Phases. Phase 1 consists of a written and video portion. Phase 2 consists
of a panel interview by active duty FBI Police Officers.
Conditional Job Offer
Based on budgetary requirements
and the number of officers needed by the FBI, candidates who pass Phase 1 and
Phase 2 are eligible to
4. Pillars of EU energy
policy
Answer : The European Commission
first proposed the so-called “three pillars” of European Union energy policy –
sustainability, competitiveness and security of supply – as “core principles”
for “a new comprehensive European energy policy” in a 2006 Green Paper. A
follow-up communication, “An Energy Policy for Europe,” established the three
pillars as a mantra for a new EU energy policy that is “ambitious, competitive
and long-term,” stating that collaborating to achieve the three pillars in the
EU would be a “return to its roots.”
Since the founding of the
European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), in 1952, energy policy has been a key
driver for European integration. Yet, many challenges remain. As the Commission
has pointed out, “the point of departure for a
5. Purpose of the Basic
Act on Energy Policy

Section B (30 marks)
(Attempt any three)
1. What are the
challenges before rural energy planning in India? How should these be faced?
Answer : Developing and extending
modern energy supplies, including renewable energy, to 6 billion people in the
coming decades, while simultaneously introducing ways to produce and use
biofuels more sustainably during the transition, is a daunting task. Within the
area of development and the environment, this task is perhaps the main
challenge facing the energy industry. All the types of investment discussed
above are capable of generating satisfactory rates of return and, with
satisfactory pricing policies for “commercial”
energy, can be designed to be financially viable. However, no single
investment program can be
2. Elucidate the role
of database development and management in energy planning process.
Answer : Currently, energy
planning in India is not an
integrated activity. Since there
are many energy sources and end
uses, many organisations and agencies deal with different aspects of energy. The plans for electricity, coal,
oil and fuel wood are done
by respective organisations
mainly based on the
projection of energy
demand. The primary
goal of this
approach is to
go in for energy supply expansions on the assumption that there is a correlation
between energy use and gross domestic product. With this approach energy
becomes an end in
itself, and the focus shifts
on meeting increased
energy consumption through
energy supply expansion alone. This
supply and demand
based planning approach for each individual
energy form has
resulted in problems like more
losses, more
3. Do you think that
commercial energy supply under integrated scenarios varies? If yes, give
reason.
Answer :
4. Explain with the
help of diagram the Installed Generation Capacity.
Answer : "Installed capacity of 10MW" means
that the instantaneous output can be at a level of 10MW continuously. That's
the power rating of the facility - power is the instantaneous output.
Energy is power integrated over
time. So a 10MW plant that operates for 24 hours at 10MW produces 10X24 - 240
MWHr of energy.
Installed
generation capacity ≥ 100 MW
Ex-ante information on the
installed generation capacity and forecasts regarding the maximum available
energy of power generating units with a net nominal output of ≥ 100 MW
