5. RESEARCH CUM DEMONSTRATION PROJECT

ENERGY SAVING IN CEILING FAN BY REDUCING THE SPEED

The Energy Management Center, Kerala conducted a comparative study to evaluate the

energy savings possible in a ceiling fan by using both electronic as well as conventional (resistance type) regulators. This study proved that power consumption is reduced by 61 % at the minimum speed while using an electronic type regulator. At the same time, the power consumption is reduced by 43% under similar conditions with a conventional (resistance type) regulator. Objective The main objective of this study is to practically prove the comparative advantage of using an electronic regulator as against a conventional (resistance type) regulator and to disprove the popular myth that the conventional (resistance type) regulators uses same power irrespective of the speed of the ceiling fan. Methodology This study was conducted using the following instruments Conventional resistance type regulator (5 step)

● Electronic type regulator (5 step) ● Ceiling Fan 1400 mm sweep ● Fluke 41 B Power analyzer ● Non Contact Tachometer ● Variable auto transformer

The ceiling fan was operated at different positions using the conventional type regulator and measured speed, power, VA , pf and voltage at the output terminal of the regulator at each step. This was again repeated using the electronic regulator by keeping same output voltage in each step - as in the earlier case , by using a variable auto transformer- to maintain same speed in each step position of both type of regulators.

Economics There will be an average reduction in energy consumption by 27 % with an electronic type regulator as against a conventional type regulator. Assuming that this ceiling fan is operated for 12 Hrs/day , 365 days per year , the energy cost saving for one ceiling fan will be 73.5x0.27x12x365x3/1000 = Rs 260 per year @ Rs 3.00/kwh. The pay back period in this case will be less than 10 months if the purchase cost of a good quality electronic regulator (assumed as Rs 200/-). Investment required to save Electricity is approximately 1/10th to 1/5th of the investment required for generating the same quantity of electric power. Conclusion

An average saving of 27% can be achieved under reduced speed, if the fan is used along with an electronic type regulator against a conventional type regulator. Though the Initial cost of an electronic regulator is high, the higher savings will pay back the investor in less than 10 months.

5.2 ENERGY CONSUMPTION BENCHMARK STUDIES ON PARBOILED RICE

COOKING IN KERALA Rice is the staple food of vast majority of Kerallites and a major portion of it is

consumed as cooked rice, mostly of parboiled variety. The quantity of thermal energy used for rice cooking is quite substantial taking note of the quantity of rice consumption in Kerala of about 40.68 lakh metric tonnes. It can be reasonably assumed that at least 70% of the rice consumption in Kerala is cooked rice mostly of parboiled varieties. Parboiled rice consumes more thermal energy for cooking than raw rice. Also the energy needed for cooking parboiled rice vary considerably depending on the rice variety and the parboiling process.

COOKING FUEL USE PATTERN IN KERALA

The fuel use pattern for cooking in Kerala is given in table Majority of the households depends on firewood and other biomass like crop residue , cow dung cake etc, for cooking. Total use of biomass as fuel in Kerala is about 79.3 %. Only 17.7 % of the household has access to LPG. 0.8 % of the households uses biogas for cooking, as per the 2001 census data.

COOK STOVES USED IN KERALA

In Kerala, people prefer different cook stoves. Most of the households uses (about 70%)

three-stone-stove which is having a thermal efficiency of 10% only. Though the introduction of improved wood stove, having a thermal efficiency of about 25% - is a means to reduce the consumption of wood fuel - only about 9 % of the households uses such devices in Kerala. The rest of the people uses LPG stoves (17.7%) and Kerosene stoves(1.7%). There are other methods to conserve cooking fuel, especially for cooking rice , like the use of a thermal cooker. This device utilise the stored heat of the boiled food at around 100 oC , to continue with the cooking, even after stopping the flame. Though this device substantially reduces fuel consumption, there will be a slight increase in the total time required for cooking. Statistical data are not available, on number of house holds using this method, but the numbers could be few. The other option available for reducing the fuel requirement and total cooking time is by using a pressure cooker. Pressure cookers allow cooking at a higher temperature, which can be called as a high- temperature cooker, cutting both fuel and cooking time OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The major objectives of this study are;

1. To find out the fuel requirement of cooking different rice varieties used in Kerala using an LPG stove.

2. Bench mark the energy requirement of different rice varieties consumed in Kerala in

relation to taste, cooking time and other quality parameters , to arrive at the optimum Variety of parboiled rice which saves cooking fuel , considering the qualitative and nutritional aspects.

3. To estimate the fuel requirement and its cost implications of cooking different varieties

of rice , using different cook stoves such as ordinary 3 stone wood stove, improved wood stove, kerosene wick stove(Nutan) electric hot plate , Induction type cooker and electric rice cooker.

Apart from the above, it is also the objective of this study to determine: Fuel losses in open vessel cooking and cooking with full stove power throughout To study the comparative advantage if any, for Induction type heater against an LPG

stove, as claimed by manufacturers/dealers of these devices. To quantitatively determine the advantages of using pressure cookers and thermal

cookers in cooking rice

While cost of LPG (14.2Kg) cylinder Rs 320 so average cost of LPG stove Rs 3.91. Hence induction heating will be economical if electricity cost is below Rs2.47/kwh LPG cylinder of 14.2Kg is equivalent to 140 Kwh therefore electricity cost reaches to expensive slabs. Therefore induction cooking is not economical. Normal Cooking Vs Pressure cooking and Thermal Cooking The table-13 shows comparison of rice cooking using normal cooking, pressure-cooking and by the use of a thermal cooker. It takes an average 53% less time to cook in a pressure cooker when compared to conventional cooking. Energy requirement also came down proportionately by 53% in this case. Though there are huge saving both by fuel and time, most of the households in Kerala do not prefer this method due to reasons ranging from poor taste to chances of overcooking, requirement of rice gruel for consumption and other purposes etc.

CONCLUSION

The average annual requirement of rice is about 40.68 lakh tonnes, 70% is used as cooked rice.

20

Majority of fuel used is firewood, Hence energy conservation will benefit in protecting forest cover. Cooking the food with vessel closed saves time and energy when compared to vessel open, about 20-40%. Jaya rice consumes almost 35 % more energy as compared to Surekha rice, when it is compared with Raw rice it consumes about 182% more, where as with Nadan Chembavu is 67% and with Ration rice it consumes 66% more. Propagation of improved chullahs saves close to 4.5x106 metric tonne of firewood per year. Using thermal/pressure cooker along with this gives further cut by 1.76x106 metric tonne of firewood per year. Hence a gross saving of fire wood of 6.21x106 metric tonne per year is possible, i.e, fire wood usage for rice cooking is reduced by 80 %.Thus CO2 emission can be brought down by 8.54 x106 metric tonne of CO2 per year.Use of thermal/pressure cookers along with LPG and kerosene stoves will reduce 53196 metric tonne of LPG and 7183 kilo liters of Kerosene per year . The reduction in CO2 from each of these will be 1.6 x105 metric tonne CO2 per year and 1.87x104 metric tonne CO2 per year. Hence the gross reduction in CO 2 by 8.72x106 metric tonne CO2 per year. Thus propagation of improved chullah and cooking aids like thermal cookers and pressure cookers shall be given top priority. Rice cooking without using much water is another method of energy saving, this also maintains higher nutritional values in cooked rice. Developing new rice varieties having lower energy need for cooking, and shall be integrated well with future rice research program.

5.3Energy Efficiency Improvement at Kochi Corporation Energy Management Centre Kerala is conducting a comprehensive Energy Audit in Kochi Corporation , which is a pioneering effort in the Municipal Corporation sector. A special stress here is to improve the energy efficiency in Street lighting .
