Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE)

-

 The Government of India has set up the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), also referred to as 'BEE' under the provisions of the EC Act, 2001 with the primary objective of reducing energy intensity of the Indian economy.

The Standards and Labeling Scheme (S&L) is one of the major thrust areas of BEE. The scheme was launched on May, 2006, with the objective of  giving the consumer an informed choice about the energy saving and thereby cost saving potential of the relevant marketed product,

The scheme provides for display of energy performance labels on high energy end use equipment & appliances and lays down minimum energy performance standards.

A star rating, ranging from 1 to 5 in the ascending order of energy efficiency is provided to the  products registered with BEE. The Star or Energy  labeling is based on Standards that prescribe limits on energy performance (usually maximum use or minimum efficiency) based on specified test protocols. The  informative labels affixed to products describe energy performance usually in the form of energy use, efficiency, or energy cost.

The appliances covered under the S&L scheme are as follows:

Products on which Labeling is mandatory

  1. Frost Free (No-Frost) Refrigerator
  2. Tubular Florescent Lamps
  3. Room Air-conditioners
  4. Distribution Transformers
  5. Room Air Conditioners (Cassette, Floor Standing Tower, Ceiling, Corner AC)
  6. Direct Cool Refrigerator
  7. Colour TV

Products on which Labeling is voluntary

  1. Electric Geysers
  2. Induction Motors
  3. Agricultural Pump Sets
  4. Ceiling Fans
  5. LPG Stoves
  6. Washing Machines
  7. Laptops/Notebooks
  8. Office Equipment's
  9. Ballast
  10. Diesel Engine Driven Monoset Pumps for Agricultural Purposes
  11. Solid State Inverters
  12. Diesel Generator
  13. Variable Capacity Air Conditioner (Inverter AC's)
  14. LED Retrofit lamps

UNMANNED POWER SUBSTATION SYSTEM

-
Image
  Unmanned Power Sub Station System An Unmanned Power Substation System refers to a modern and technologically advanced electrical substation that operates without the need for constant on-site human presence. These unmanned substations utilize automation, remote monitoring, and control technologies to efficiently manage potential events. Automation and Remote Control The system is equipped with intelligent devices and sensors that automate various tasks such as monitoring voltage, current, temperature, and other parameters. Remote control capabilities allow operators to manage the substation from our command center. Reduced Operation and Maintenance Costs With the elimination of on-site personnel, the operational and maintenance costs associated with manned substations are significantly reduced. Routine maintenance tasks can be scheduled and monitored remotely. Enhanced Reliability and Safety The use of automated systems ensures greater reliability and minimizes the risk of human ...

  Arduino Uno (R3) The Uno is a huge option for your initial Arduino. This Arduino board depends on an ATmega328P based microcontroller. As compared with other types of arduino boards, it is very simple to use like the Arduino Mega type board. .It consists of 14-digital I/O pins, where 6-pins can be used as PWM( pulse width modulation  outputs), 6-analog inputs, a reset button, a power jack, a USB connection, an In-Circuit Serial Programming header (ICSP), etc. It includes everything required to hold up the microcontroller; simply attach it to a PC with the help of a USB cable and give the supply to get started with an AC-to-DC adapter or battery. Arduino Uno (R3) Arduino Uno is the most frequently used board and it is the standard form apart from all the existing Arduino Boards. This board is very useful for beginners. Please refer to this link to know more about  Arduino Uno Board
