The Energy Society (ESI)
is the nation’s leading NGO and advocacy association that aims to
accelerate the deployment and use of renewable energy, energy management
and energy efficient technology. ESI produces major events that inspire
and motivate large numbers of people to get involved in energy efficiency
programme and make a difference. ESI has been
specializing in the development and support of integrated business
applications, with clients worldwide in Renewable sources of energy,
energy efficient technologies, energy Management, energy trading and
retailing, project development, product promotion, energy advocacy
etc.

Dr. A.P.J. Kalam,
the president of India in his presidential address on the 59th
year of independence, has given a clarion call to the nation to
focus on developing Renewable Energy Sources to meet the country’s
need for Energy. He also stressed the fact that the India has
abundant natural resources for developing renewable Energy. |
High Efficiency Nano Crystal LEDs
A leading Nano technologist recently met me at Rashtrapati Bhavan.
He demonstrated to me a very optimal and efficient lighting system
based on Nano crystals. The recent advances in semi conductor
based lighting chips ? Light Emitting Diodes (LED) can provide six
hours of reliable light to every home or shop in a village at
virtually no recurring energy cost and minimum installation cost.
These LEDs require a tiny fraction of energy used for other forms
of lighting. LED based lighting can be easily provided with solar
panels or foot pedal generators. For nearly 40 years LEDs were
weak color light sources (Green, Amber and Red) used mostly as
indicators and numeric light. LED technology in recent years has
improved dramatically. Today LEDs, using 10 watt of power could
produce light equivalent to a sixty-watt filament lamp. New
discoveries in Nano technology make LEDs much brighter and make
the products less expensive, which can revolutionize
electrification for lighting. Such novel devices can be used by
the Habitat Centre as electrical fitment in the new complex. HUDCO
can take up this as a mission for rural/urban electrification in
their buildings.
