Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Engineering - Power Engineering, grade: A, GC University (GC University), language: English, abstract: Energy is considered to be the life line of an economy. It is a most vital instrument of the socio-economic development of a country. Energy is a very important factor in the production process. Energy is pivotal in running machinery in factories and industrial units, for lighting our cities and powering our vehicles etc. There has been enormous increase in the demand of energy due to the massive industrialization and rapid population growth in comparison to the enhancement in the supply of energy production. Supply of energy is, therefore, far less than the actual demand, resultantly crisis has emerged. An energy crisis can be defined as any great bottleneck (or price rise) in the supply of energy resources to an economy. With the evolution of civilizations, the human demand for energy has continuously increased. At present, the key factor which drives the growth in energy demand include increasing human population, modernization and urbanization. According to the united nations , the world population 6.5 billion in 2005 is to grow to 9.1 billion by 2050 and most of the population growth is expected to place in the developing world Asia and Africa.(Dinner, 1999). Poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy and environmental degradation are the most important challenges faced by the world. Poor and inadequate access to secure an affordable means of energy in one of the crucial factors behind these issues. Electricity for example is vital for providing basic social services such as education and health, water supply and purification, sanitation, and refrigeration of essential medicines. Electricity is of course, very helpful in supporting a wide range of income generation opportunities. The leading countries in the world in terms of population without access to electricity include India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Congo, Ethiopia, Myanmar, Tanzania, and Kenya. With the growing world population and people's aspiration for improved life a central and collective global issue in the new century is to sustain socio-economic growth within the constraints of the earth’s limited natural resource along with preserving the environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth in Pakistan's economy has increased the pressure on energy resources. As demand for energy exceeds supply, power outages and planned power cuts (euphemistically termed `load-shedding') are common. In addition to economic costs, energy shortages can also foster political instability. Repeated power failures have already touched off street demonstrations, rioting, and coup rumours. This unrest may be only a foretaste of things to come. --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author presents a thorough analysis of Pakistan's energy sector. Being an insider, he has had enough exposure to be able to point out issues and problems and has been able to develop a package of thorough recommendations. He has argued for better negotiations of CPEC energy sector's terms and has advised NEPRA to take steps to bring down tariff to a fair and affordable level but argues that Petroleum prices in Pakistan are fair and lowest in the region. The author is of the view that energy imports should be discouraged and argues in favour of local resource development and indigenization. In the back drop of remarkable recent reduction in Solar PV prices, he argues for a significant reappraisal of existing plans leading to a major initiative for inducting solar electricity in a distributed mode at about 50 locations. He has proposed alternatives and cheaper approaches with respect to Smart Meters, LPG distribution projects and RLNG terminals etc. Supporting coal, he has criticized avoidance of the required environmental controls and has demanded corrective steps in this respect. Overall, he presents an optimistic picture with critical evaluation of issues and problems. Laden with a lot of data and tables, the book should be a must reading for policy makers, stakeholders, academia and all those who have more than a passing interest in the subject.

This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Engineering - Power Engineering, Kadir Has University (Kadir Has University), course: Industrial Engineering, language: English, abstract: Pakistan is a developing country and it can only move forward once the energy sector is secure and self-sufficient. Right from the beginning, the country has constantly faced energy shortages in all sectors due to incompetent policies and governance. This study frames the analysis of the current energy situation, with main focus on electricity. All the factors which are hampering the growth of the energy sector are identified and potential solutions are discussed. Matching the electricity supply and demand is the ultimate goal, therefore a forecast analysis (multiple regression model) based on seasonal variation in temperature is performed in order to predict the future electric consumption and help authorities take necessary actions for fulfilment. Finally, a comprehensive detail is provided on the causes and problems of the energy crisis, and potential solutions and reforms are provided.

Download or read book Pakistan Beyond the Crisis State written by Maleeha Lodhi and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2012-10-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seen through the lens of the outsider, Pakistan has often been reduced to a caricature. Its diversity and resilience have rarely figured in the single-issue focus of recent literature on the country, be it journalistic or scholarly. This book seeks to present an alternate paradigm and to contribute a deeper understanding of the country's dynamics that may help explain why Pakistan has confounded all the doomsday scenarios. It brings together an extra-ordinary array of leading experts, including Ahmed Rashid, Ayesha Jalal and Zahid Hussain, and practitioners, such as the book's editor, Maleeha Lodhi, Akbar Ahmed and Munir Akram. Together they debate their country's strengths and weaknesses and offer ways out of its current predicament. This book provides a picture of how Pakistanis see themselves and their country's faultlines and spells out ways to overcome these. Pakistan's political, economic, social, foreign policy and governance challenges are assessed in detail. So too is the complex interplay between domestic developments and external factors including great power interests that are so central to the Pakistan story and explain the vicissitudes in its fortunes. Lodhi and her contributors contend that Pakistan and its people have the capacity to transform their country into a stable, modern Muslim state, but bold reforms will be needed to bring about this outcome.
