How do we define world class? Does it mean Indian engineers are not world

class ? No, our engineers are every where in the

worldOur engineers are sought by countries likeUSA, Australia, Germany, Canada etc

Major contribution is in software but significant contribution in other areas like NASA, Energy sector, Education etc

A world class engineer is one who can : Work in any part of the world

whether underdeveloped developing or developed and

Do the his job to the best of satisfaction of

himself and the society/ firm which employs him.

A recruiter stated A great engineer is 10 times more valuable

than a good engineer,“ "There is a war for top 10% talent."

So, our engineers are really talented. They do very well working abroad Many Indians are occupying the top

positions or heading institutions abroad

NO TO FOSSIL FUELSTO AVOID SITUATIONS LIKE THIS

22-09-2014 16

Page 17: Making Indian Engineering  World class - Theme talk on Engineer's day 2014

1999 – cost oil $10 / barrel 2007 - $147 / barrel 2008 - Economic crash and collapse of oil

price 2017 – oil drilling in Arctic 2026 – oil costs $200 / barrel 2028 – Denmark, first oil-free country 2038 – Saudi Arabia starts importing oil

22-09-2014 17

Page 18: Making Indian Engineering  World class - Theme talk on Engineer's day 2014

Globally - every year we consume Over 11 billion tonnes of fossil fuels. Crude oil reserves are vanishing at the rate

of 4 billion tonnes a year –If we carry on at this rate , it is estimated that our known oil deposits will befinished by 2052.

22-09-2014 18

Page 19: Making Indian Engineering  World class - Theme talk on Engineer's day 2014

Some say that we have enough coal to last hundreds of years.

But if we step up production to fill the gap left through depleting our oil and gas reserves,

the coal deposits we know about will only give us enough energy to take us as far as 2088.

And let’s not even think of the carbon dioxide emissions from burning all that coal.

22-09-2014 19

Page 20: Making Indian Engineering  World class - Theme talk on Engineer's day 2014

But if we increase gas production to fill the energy gap left by oil, then those reserves will only give us an additional eight years, taking us to 2060.

But the rate at which the world consumes fossil fuels is not standing still, it is increasing as the world's population increases and as living standards rise in parts of the world that until recently had consumed very little energy.

Fossil Fuels will therefore run out earlier.

New reserves are becoming harder to find, and those that are being discovered are significantly smaller than the ones that have been found in the past.

Take oil, for example, we’re probably already on a downward slope.

Sixteen of the world’s twenty largest oil fields have already reached their peak level of production, whilst the golden age of oil field discovery was nearly 50 years ago.

ENERGY FROM THE SUN ENERGY FROM WIND

22-09-2014 23

Page 24: Making Indian Engineering  World class - Theme talk on Engineer's day 2014

In full sun, about 100 watts of solar energy per square foot.

Assuming 12 hours of sun per day, this equates to 438,000 watt-hours per square foot per year.

Based on 27,878,400 square feet per square mile, sunlight bestows a whopping 12.2 trillion watt-hours per square mile per year.

22-09-2014 24

Page 25: Making Indian Engineering  World class - Theme talk on Engineer's day 2014

The energy received from the sun is more than

20,000 times the world energy demand The need to exploit solar energy is the only

way to solve the energy needs of the future

22-09-2014 25

Page 26: Making Indian Engineering  World class - Theme talk on Engineer's day 2014

1. Solar energy is free in spite of the cost of the equipment required to convert solar energy into electricity or hot water.

2. Solar energy does not cause pollution. However, solar collectors and other associated equipment / machines are manufactured in factories that in turn cause some pollution.

3. Solar energy can be used in remote areas where it is too expensive to extend the electricity power grid.

4. Many everyday items such as calculators and other low power consuming devices can be powered by solar energy effectively.

5. The solar energy is infinite (forever, perennial).

Induction generators, used for wind power, require reactivepower for excitation and substantial capacitor banks for power factor correction.

But cannot support the system voltage during faults, unlike steam or hydro turbine-driven synchronous generators

Doubly fed machines generally have more desirable properties for grid interconnection. Transmission systems operators will supply a wind farm developer with a grid code to specify the requirements for interconnection to the transmission grid.

Different types of wind turbine generators behave differently during transmission grid disturbances, dynamic electromechanical characteristics of a new wind farm is required by transmission system operators to ensure predictable stable behaviour during system faults

This will include power factor, constancy of frequency and dynamic behavior of the wind farm turbines during a system fault

Biomass is biological material derived from living, or recently living organisms.

Biomass can either be used directly via combustion to produce heat, or indirectly after converting it to a bio-fuel.

Conversion of biomass to bio-fuel can be by different methods which are broadly classified into: thermal, chemical, and biochemical methods.

Future of energy is in small units, not Megaprojects.

What is required is to integrate the small units of renewable sources with the existing ones.

Major effort is required as the renewable sources have peculiarities not seen by large scale power generation schemes.

WE have to learn from nations like Germany where there are 6 million small producers of solar and wind power energy.

Effective utilization of these require development of micro-grids and smart grids

22-09-2014 41

Green construction or sustainable building refers to a structure and using process that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design,

construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. This requires close cooperation of the design team, the architects,

the engineers, and the client at all project stages. The Green Building practice expands and complements the

classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort

Big data is collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using traditional data processing applications.

The challenges include analysis, capture, curation, search, sharing, storage, transfer, visualization, and privacy violations.

The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data, as compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data, allowing correlations to be found to "spot business trends, prevent diseases, combat crime and so on.”

22-09-2014 62

Page 63: Making Indian Engineering  World class - Theme talk on Engineer's day 2014

Scientists encounter limitations due to large data sets inmeteorology, genomics, connectomics, complex physics simulations, and biological and environmental research.

The limitations also affect Internet search, finance and business informatics.

Data sets grow in size because they are increasingly being gathered by ubiquitous information-sensing mobile devices, aerial sensory technologies (remote sensing), software logs, cameras, microphones, radio-frequency identification (RFID) readers, and wireless sensor networks.

22-09-2014 63
