Purpose: - POWER SAVING
Project Name: - De-Electrification
Principle:- Self-sufficiency at micro level even at 70%
efficiency and ultimately less load on grid supply.
Working
notes: - In Tirupati, the population is 3,
00,000. @ 5 persons in each house (say),
there are 60,000 houses. Less 20,000
houses in slum areas which may not have houses or House Over Head Tanks (HOTs). The remaining 40,000 houses are having HOTs
are at 15 ft or 30 ft height.
Present
system:- At present the water works
department pumps water to the Colony Over Head Tank (COT) with 5 HP motor in 7
hours consuming Rs.350/- per day. COT
capacity (say) 40,000 liters at 40 ft height.
This water will be distributed to 160 houses @ 50 liters per head per
day (LPD), i.e., 250 liters per house.
We are getting water with ½' pipe into
our house sumps. Again, we are pumping
the water to our HOT from the sump with ½ HP motor for ½ hour daily consuming
power. We are paying power bill (say)
Rs.25/- a month for water pumping.
What
is to be done: - 2" pipe line is there in
the colony street. Connect 2" pipe line
from it to the HOT instead ½' pipe line to sump. It may cost Rs.250/-. But it will be reimbursed in 10 months by
saving power bills.
By using water distribution management
system, through software, canalizing & timing the water can reach from COT
to direct HOTs with water pressure.
Water level sensors can be used to save water wastage.
Like that by stopping the motor power
consumption by house holders, in Tirupathi in 40,000 houses, we can save 10 M W
power per day. In other words, we
stopped using power and thus saving coal, NAFTA, Hydro electricity, etc. What about other big cities like Hyderabad, Guntur,
etc?
