Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering
Energy Conservation and Auditing (18EEOE06)
Question Bank
Unit 1:
1. Explain the general principle of energy conservation in indian industries.
2. Enlist energy conservation techniques in domestic sector
3. Discuss the energy conservation opportunities in thermal power plant.
4. Explain energy related standards and norms used in India
5. Explain transmission and distribution losses in power system. Discuss suitable ways
to minimize these losses.
6. Discuss various ways of energy savings in buildings
7. Discuss the essential elements of energy monitoring and reporting
8. Explain energy management with its objectives
9. Identify the schemes and methods to promote energy conservation.
Unit 2:
1. Discuss briefly the net present value method vs internal rate of return method of
evaluation of projects
2. Discuss (i) capital rationing, (ii) benefit cost ratio, (iii) internal rate of return
3. Explain the salient features of the net present value method of project evaluations and
examine its rationality.
4. Project A requiring an investment of Rs 2,00,000 shows excess present value Rs
40,000 while another project B requiring an investment of Rs 20,000 shows an excess
on present value of Rs 10,000. Determine Net present value and profitability index
5. Calculate the net present value for a small sized project requiring an initial investment
of Rs 10,00,000 and which provides a net cash inflows of Rs 3,00,000 each year for
five years. Assume cost of funds to be 10% per annum and there is no scrap value.
6. A limited company is considering investing in a project requiring a capital outlay of
Rs. 2,00,000. Forecast for annual income is as follows.
Year Rs.
1 90,000
2 90,000
3 80,000
4 80,000
5 60,000
Calculate:
(i) Pay back method
(ii) Rate of return or original investment method
(iii) Rate of return or average investment method
(iv) Net present value method
(v) Profitability Index method.
7. Discuss about thermal insulation
