Mumbai, February 2 (PTI) India, the federal Department of power and the USA Agency for International Development (USAID) for Reliance Energy Ltd’s Management Institute to undertake training programs in the reform of the distribution , Updates and management (drum) project.

Reliance Energy Management Insititute, which account for about 10 training programs within the framework of drum, a training initiative of USAID and Ministry of Power, directed by train on 25000 professionals in the energy sector, a company announced Wednesday the release.

REMI’s training program, which was established last week in New Delhi, including a change in management of energy distribution, financial management business in the sale and distribution of reduction.

A two-week short-term training programme on emerging technologies in energy management with special emphasis on the recent advances in non-conventional energy sources began at the School of Engineering, Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), here today.

The programme titled `Energy 2004′ is being organised by the Electrical Engineering Division, CUSAT, for professionals and teachers of engineering colleges.

Inaugurating the programme, R.V.G. Menon, former director of ANERT, said that the availability of fossil fuel would decline in five to 10 years.

“Fossil fuel, that is petroleum, hardly known till 1900, has been exploited mercilessly in the last 100 years,” he said.

For the first time, an energy audit is an outside agency to examine whether the 210 MW Thermal Power Plant Bandel must be renovated.

This quarter-century-old unit, perhaps the oldest in the country, production has been significantly less energy lost, as its cost-effectiveness.

For him again, the Indian Institute of Social Welfare and Business Management (IISWBM) has been invited to contribute to the achievement of an energy audit and suggest ways to minimize loss of generation.

A 10-member IISWBM team, under the leadership of its director Ashoke Dutta, implementation of the study. There will be a report from the West Bengal Power Development Corporation, in August.

“The plant now requires more coal as fuel, as its design value, there were expensive to run. Leakage rate is also very …

But there is room for improvement, and we are in the process of identifying these areas, “said Binoy Krishna Choudhury, coordinator of the energy management department IISWBM. It is also coordinator of the ongoing review.

But the pace of research has slowly, as the plant can not be suspended. The team is also able to reduce fuel consumption and control of the heat. “Less fuel would also mean less pollution and lower costs of generation,” said Choudhury.
