Energy and Energy Management
Abstract
Energy is the lifeline of all human activities and the chief catalyst for the overall development of the key sectors within a country. The role of energy sources and proper energy management techniques can be considered the decisive factors that merit the economic potential status for a developed country among the world’s nations. The challenges pertaining to the extraction, generation, and distribution of energy have to be confronted at every step of the energy-efficient systems design. This would help acheive the energy conservation potential as well as carbon emissions reduction. The development of state-of-the art technologies amalgamated with renewable energy integration would contribute to offsetting the future energy demand/consumption without sacrificing energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.

1.1 Introduction
Energy and energy management are two facets of a mature technology that would move the economic status of a country from normal to the height of societal development. A nation with a strong mission of ensuring energy efficiency at each step of its societal development can sustain higher economic growth on a long-term basis. The increasing concerns about climate change and environmental emissions have led to conserving energy through the development of several energy-efficient systems. The underlying concept behind this is the reduction of extensive utilization of fossil fuel or primary energy sources and their associated carbon emissions. From this perspective, the following sections are designed to explain energy concepts, project energy demand/consumption, and describe possible energy management techniques that would be helpful for the development of a sustainable future.
1.2 Energy Resources, Energy Sources, and Energy Production
In the spectrum of energy and energy management, energy resources, energy sources, and energy production are extremely vital starting from their discovery, conversion, and production to end-use consumption. Although the terminologies related to energy resources and energy sources seem to be associated, a basic difference exists that helps the scientific community to move the task of energy production forward to meet energy demand.
Energy resource refers to a reserve of energy, which can be helpful to mankind and society in many ways. On the other hand, energy source also means the system that is devised for extracting energy from the energy resource. For example, the availability of fossil fuels under the earth in the form of coal can be categorized as an energy resource. The system or the technology that is incorporated to extract the energy available from the fossil fuel (coal) can be classified as the energy source.
Earth has large energy resources or basins including solar, hydro, wind, biomass, ocean, and geothermal. Through the application of the human ideologies and emerging technologies, tapping the energy from these reserves in an efficient manner has always been a paramount task. Earth’s finite and renewable energy reserves along with recoverable energy from these resources are depicted in Fig. 1.1.
It is not only important that the energy be extracted from these reserves or reservoirs; the real success of the task depends on efficient transformation to the actual societal requirements. In simpler words, the extracted energy has to be generated or produced in a more usable form and has to be transported so that it caters to end-user energy demand. To sustain the living standards in developed nations as well as improve societal and economical status in developing countries, it is of great importance to balance the huge gap between energy generation and consumption.
The availability of reserves and the possible recovery of energy projected in Fig. 1.1 are more attractive and helpful. This is a basic step in the process of energy planning and energy management. It can be seen clearly from Fig. 1.1 that the total energy reserves available for the fossil fuel category account for nearly 2000 TW per year (TW—Terawatt). The reserves available for nuclear energy are comparatively less compared to fossil fuel reserves. The ratio of fossil fuel reserves to production globally at the end of 2012 is shown in Fig. 1.2.
The projected ratio of fossil fuel reserves to their production in Fig. 1.2 infers that the reserves for coal, oil, and natural gas in some parts of the world have increased over time. This could be attributed to emerging technological advancement in the search for new fossil fuel reserves or beds. It can also be seen clearly from Fig. 1.1 that energy recovery from nuclear energy can now help fulfill immediate energy needs. However, from the long-term energy perspective, dependence on nuclear fuels imposes certain environmental risk factors and unsafe conditions in terms of nuclear emissions and radioactive decay.
It is interesting to note that after the Industrial Revolution, human inventions (interventions) for using fossil fuels to satisfy the energy demand increasingly grew from region to region worldwide. The values projected in Fig. 1.3 infer continuous growth in fossil fuel-based primary energy sources in recent years as well as in the near future.
Tough competition exists between the world’s nations in the search for new reserves of oil, natural gas, and coal. This process is even more encouraged in developed countries. This is in some ways advantageous, but the uncontrollable exploitation of such energy reserves leads to carbon emissions and other environmental risk factors.
The projections on the additions of world power generation capacity and retirements from 2013-2035 shown in Fig. 1.4 infer that the participation of developing nations including India and China is considerable. This means that developing countries are more interested in resolving issues related to energy usage per person, as compared to developed nations. Nearly 40% of the world’s new power-generation capacities is being made by India and the China. At the same time, almost 60% of the power capacity additions have contributed for the replacements of retired plants in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries.
On the other hand, developed nations are also equally interested in developing renewable energy sources-based systems for accomplishing demand-side energy management. However, in this type of task, aside from the cost implications involved, adding renewable energy as the source for power generation (electricity production) as depicted in Fig. 1.5 would facilitate maximum energy advantage with reduced or net zero emissions to the environment.
1.3 Global Energy Demand and Consumption
The statistical references from the BP Statistical Review of World Energy [2], International Energy Agency IEA [4] and International Energy Outlook EIA [6] indicate an increase in energy demand and world marketed energy consumption among world nations as shown in Fig. 1.6(a–e). The projections in Fig. 1.6(a–e) show that the energy demand arising from coal and oil has been reduced significantly for the OECD countries. This may be due to the fact that OECD nations have shown greater interest toward using renewable and other nonfossil fuel–based energy sources for balancing and satisfying their energy production and demand.
Fig. 1.6(d) shows that world market energy consumption (WMEC) has been consistently increasing by 1.4% every year since 2007. In total, the WMEC has increased up to 49%, indicating that the imbalance between energy production and consumption has reached its limit. Based on Fig. 1.6(e), the share of the world energy consumption for the United States and China tends to reduce and increase, respectively, in future years, whereas for India the share of energy consumption may rise only marginally. In many...
