INTRODUCTION The Demand for electricity has been increasing day to day .There is a strong correlation between energy use per person of living.Because electricity is the central force behind our productivity and environment .As our energy resources are fast getting depleted thus energy saving is essential .

NEED FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION Energy conservation means using the energy more efficiently or minimizing wastage of energy .To save energy to meet the future demand .To minimize energy costs.To improve the efficiency of the systemTo make optimization production and utilization of energy.

BENFITS OF ENERGY SAVING

Saving of electrical energy for the futureSaving of fuel reduction energy costsCheaper and better protection of energyLesser pollution and preserving of environmentEfficient transmission and distribution systems with lesser maintenance costs

USEFUL TIPS TO SAVE ENERGY

* Turn off the lights when not in use. * Use CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) in placeof Incandescent lamps.

*Use electronic chokes in place of conventional copper chokes. FANS: *Replace conventional regulators with electronic regulators for ceiling fans.

LIGHTS:

ELECTRIC IRON:*Select iron box with automatic temperature cutoff.*Use appropriate regulator position for ironing .*Do not put more water on clothes while ironing.*Do not iron wet clothes.

MIXERS:*Avoid dry grinding in your food processors as it takes longer time than liquid grinding.

Switch off! Dont leave it on standby!If you can see a light like this when the TV is off, it is using almost as much energy as if it was on!

Turn off your home office equipment when not in use.If your must be left on, turn off the monitor.Setting computers, monitors, and copiers to Use sleep-mode when not in use helps cut Energy costs by approximately 40%.MOBILE PHONES:Due to decreasing the brightness and LCD Back light,5-7 v are saved.

REFRIGERATORS:*Dont keep your refrigerator or freezer too cold. *Do not open the doors of the refrigerators frequently*Dont leave the door open for longer than necessary, as cold air will escape.*Avoid putting hot or warm food straight into the fridge

WASHING MACHINES :*Always wash only with full loads.*Use optimal quantity of water.*Use timer facility to save energy.

AIR CONDITIONERS:*Prefer air conditioners having automatic temperature cut off.*Keep regulators at low cool position.*Seal the doors and windows properly.*Use windows with sun films/curtains.
