Energy
-Its capacity of a body to perform work
- it’s a driving force of change
-Energy can have many forms: Heat energy, electrical energy,
chemical energy, nuclear, light etc.
Units of energy
•1 Calorie � unit of heat equal to the amount of heat required to raise one
gram of water one degree Celsius.
•1 Joule � ability to overcome one Newton along 1 meter (assuming g =
10 meter/s2
• 1 eV = Energy gained by an electron due to 1 volt potential diff.
•1 cal = 4.184 joule, 1eV = 1.6 x 10E-19 Joules, (1 BTU = 1.0545 kJ,
10E7 Ergs = 1 joule)
•BTU> cal > joule > erg > eV

Energy security
• Oil accounts for about 34% of India’s primary energy consumption
• More than 85% of oil consumed in India is imported
• We have sufficient coal, but it is of low grade
• We need to import nuclear fuel
• Significant portion of hydro energy potential has been tapped
• We should look for alternative energy options

Limitations of Conventional sources
• Available in limited quantity (can not be renewed at the rate of consumption)
• Cause damage to environment
• Centralized energy source
• Energy security
• Can not readily provide power where needed (no direct conversion)
• Limited efficiency due to multi-step conversion
