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
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
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
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
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.
22-09-2014 20
22-09-2014 21
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
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
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
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

Environmental impact due to large land usage and affecting natural beauty
Reports of bird and bat mortality at wind turbines
The scale of the ecological impact may not be significant, depending on specific circumstances.
Fluctuations in power output due to change in wind velocity

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.

Massive generation of power from Nuclear power plants.
The expected power generation from Nuclear plants is a gigantic 63000 MW in 2032 .
Remember after the recent accidents in Nuclear plants, many countries have decided
Not to set up new nuke plantsPhase out the existing ones

Wind power in the United States expanding quickly over the last several years. At of the end of 2013 the capacity was 61,108 MW.
This capacity is exceeded only by China. Projects totaling 12,000 MW of capacity were under
construction at the end of 2013, including 10,900 MW that began construction in the 4th quarter.
For the 12 months through April 2014, the electricity produced from wind power in the United States amounted to 174.7 terawatt-hours, or 4.25% of all generated electrical energy.

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
Smart grids Micro-grids for villages Smart homes, Green homes
22-09-2014 42
22-09-2014 43

Green gas , global warming and consequent climatic changes.
Presence of green gases in the upper atmosphere is essential to maintain the temperature on our planet.
However excess amount of green gases in the atmosphere is dangerous.
22-09-2014 48
Significant increase in global temperature Climatic changes If the global temperature increase by 2C Severe floods and tornados in some places Extremely high temp in some areas and
drought in other places. Melting of ice in Arctic and Antarctic
22-09-2014 49
If the same rate of green gas emission continues, global temp will increase by 6C at the end of century, if so :
Rain forests will disappear. Ocean water level rise by 2-3 meters Inundation of low lying areas like
Bangladesh, Florida and Lakshadveep Large number of animals species on land
and ocean will disappear
22-09-2014 50
Large scale consumption of fossil fuels for power generation – excess CO2
Automobile emission resulting in increased CO2 and CO in atmosphere.
Live stock (animals) creating 28% of the green gases (Methane)

New technologies are constantly being developed to complement current practices in creating greener structures, the common objective is that green buildings are designed to:
Reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by:
Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources Protecting occupant health and improving employee
productivity Reducing waste, pollution and environmental
degradation
22-09-2014 54
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
22-09-2014 55
22-09-2014 56
22-09-2014 57
Reduce the generation of green gases by at least 40%
Developed countries should help the developing & underdeveloped countries.
Create awareness among younger people the reason for climatic changes.
Reduce fossil fuel consumption and promote use of renewable energy sources.
Reduce large scale killing of animals for food
22-09-2014 58
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the interconnection of uniquely identifiable embedded computing-like devices within the existing Internet infrastructure.
Typically, IoT is expected to offer advanced connectivity of devices, systems, and services that goes beyond machine-to-machine communications (M2M) and covers a variety of protocols, domains, and applications.
22-09-2014 59
22-09-2014 60
The interconnection of these embedded devices (including smart objects), is expected to usher in automation in nearly all fields,
Enabling advanced applications like a Smart Grid. IoT, can refer to a wide variety of devices such as
heart monitoring implants, biochip transponders on farm animals, automobiles with built-in sensors, or field operation devices that assist fire-fighters in search and rescue.
Current market examples include smart thermostat systems and washer/dryers that utilize wifi for remote monitoring.
22-09-2014 61
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
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
The world's technological per-capita capacity to store information has roughly doubled every 40 months since the 1980s; as of 2012, every day 2.5exabytes (2.5×1018) of data were created.
The challenge for large enterprises is determining who should own big data initiatives that straddle the entire organization.
22-09-2014 64
22-09-2014 65
We should be: More aware of things happening around Share knowledge from any source available
anywhere in the world. Cooperate with colleagues and experts
