Completed Projects
GNESD RETs Theme
December 20, 2003 to
November 24, 2005
Identification of the contribution of RETs to poverty alleviation and the provision of concrete policy guidance to identify and profit on oportunities and to overcome previously identified barriers and other subtle obstacles acting behind them.Furthermore, the project will proivde a guide as to where and how to engage in the policy dialogue process. These outputs will be aimed at policy-makers, decision-makers, energy policy analysts, NGOs, and researchers.
Preserving the Invisible - Microbial biodiversity of crude oil spill degrading microorganisms
October 1, 1999 to
November 15, 2005
In order to document and assess the microbial diversity at various ecosystems, particularly polluted ones in the country, samples of microbial species from 14 different oil refineries located at multiple Indian geo-climatic regions have been grown, catalogued and preserved at TERI laboratories and disseminated to both the industry and research institutes. Samples taken from polluted sites are also stored at -70 C for long-term preservation.Estimation of technical losses in CESC area corresponding to 2004/05
October 1, 2004 to
November 10, 2005
The representative sample size for estimating energy losses would be finalized mutually between TERI and CESC Ltd. As per the scope, the following sample size has been agreed. (1) All 132-kV systems up to and including 33/6 kV system of CESC. (2) Twenty-four outgoing 11/6 kV feeders and all 6/0.4 kV transformers on the identified feeders. (3) Twenty distribution transformers. The total energy losses in CESC would be calculated from the total energy input and energy consumed in the system.

Brief details of the project is given in the following paragraphs.Energy audit of acrylic fibre plant at Haldia
September 1, 2004 to
October 17, 2005
This project included the following objectives:1. To carry out a detailed performance evaluation of various equipments with a view to identify thrust areas for energy conservation;
2. To quantify the extent of energy savings/performance improvement that can be achieved based on analysis of the measurements to be carried out/ data to be collected;
3. To recommend various technically sound and economically viable measures to improve the end-use energy efficiency.
Regional cooperation, implications on energy security: a case of Nepal, India, and Bangladesh
March 1, 2004 to
September 9, 2005
Traditionally, the countries in the region have seen energy security as maintaining the continuity of supply of energy sources, primarily oil, which is mostly supplied from the Middle East. For electricity generation the vast reserve of coal in India was regarded as sufficient source to continue to last for many coming decades. However, with the rapid economic growth and consequential environmental concerns, India is forced to look beyond its borders for clean energy resources, especially gas and hydropower.Prepare integrated electricity supply master plan for off-grid Sundarban Islands
June 3, 2005 to
September 1, 2005
The objective is to prepare a document containing integrated master plan for electrification of the entire off-grid islands of Sundarbans. The project aims at finding the most suitable options for rural electrification in the remote islands of Sundarbans.Terravision
