ISO 50001 : 2011 - Requirements and Methodology for Implementation of Energy Management System 20 – 22 May 2013
INTRODUCTION:Energy is an important element of the organization for its sustenance. The demand for
energy is growing manifold and the energy sources are becoming scarce and costlier.
Among the various strategies to be evolved for meeting energy demand, efficient use of
energy and its conservation emerges out to be most viable strategy, apart from being
environmental friendly. Therefore, the energy conserved is energy produced.
The ISO 50001:2011 Energy Management System (EnMS) – Requirements with
Guidance for use is a new international standard that provides a framework to manage
the energy supply and consumption in organizations. EnMS standard applies to all
aspects of energy use and enables to help an organization take a systematic approach to
achieving continual improvement of energy performance including efficiency and
consumption. The standard is applicable to all types and sizes of organizations. It is
designed to integrate with other management standards, especially ISO 14001 on
environmental management and ISO 9001 on quality management.
The new standard specifies requirements for measurement, documentation & reporting,
and for equipment design and procurement processes. It does not prescribe specific
performance criteria, though it does require participating companies to commit to
continual energy performance improvements. Successful implementation depends on
commitment from all levels and functions of the organization especially from top management as per the standard.

Technology Advances in Metering, Billing and Collection 21 to 23 May, 2013
INTRODUCTION:Metering, over the years, has played a very important role as means of revenue
collection driven by the new imperatives in power generation, conservation and
utilization and tariff structures, etc. Metering is today emerging as a major subsystem
within utilities operational framework. The driving force within metering is the
rapid advances in metering technology, which today provides the tools to do things
hitherto not possible in metering function.
Metering today is not limited to revenue collection but entered into areas of load
control, system planning, tariff structuring, reduction in T&D losses, etc. A system
approach is, therefore, needed to metering to achieve these applications. A
combination of state - of – art technologies in metering, information technology can
provide an integrated solution to many problems faced by utilities. The advent of
information technology helps in finding proper solutions to the management and
interpretation of large masses of data.
By far the most complex administrative part of utilities operation is the collection of
readings, preparation of bills and collection of receivables, which is a time consuming and slow process.

Use of Chemicals in Modern Construction Practices 21 – 24 May, 2013
INTRODUCTION:The country, India, with more than one Billion populations has a fairly large construction industry and the largest segment of this industry is occupied by the infrastructure development followed by industrial, commercial and residential construction. Addition to the new constructions, we also have the problem of aging infrastructure and the obsolete and decaying facilities, owing to the climate diversity of the country in different regions. Professionals in the field of construction
are therefore faced with the challenges of leading the future development protecting and conserving energy and environment quality on one hand and ensuring structural renewal and
durability on the other.
To meet such needs and demands of the industry, the construction methodology as well as concrete technology has made tremendous strides in the last two decades. Concrete is now no longer a material consisting of only cement, aggregates and water; but an engineered material with several new constituents and tailored made for specific applications. Moreover, the development of specifying the concretes as per performance requirements has opened
innumerable opportunities to introduce new generation chemicals / polymers under the umbrella of “Construction Chemicals”.
The addition of these polymers to cement mortar or concrete mixes not only enhances the properties like bonding, tensile and flexural strengths, but also the emergency needs in this fast
growing world. But, unfortunately, though the availability of large spectrum of products has already in the market, the lack of knowledge in right selection of materials and application
training lead to a bit of confusion among the engineering fraternity.
With this point in view, Engineering Staff College of India (ESCI) has taken a drive to conduct a 4 - Day training programme on “Use of Chemicals in Modern Construction Practices” with a view to providing a forum for exchange of information and sharing of experience amongst engineers, consultants, architects, maintenance managers, contractors and so on.

INTRODUCTION:Good number of hydro power stations in the country are in service over long years.To ensure better reliability and continuity of service of these plants, it is necessary to
assess their life through testing. Life of various equipment in the station such as Generators, Turbines and Exciters is to be properly assessed and retrofit is to be taken up considering the technological developments and options available. In view
of the advantages available due to adoption of state of art technologies, we need to go in to adopt these technologies effectively and efficiently.
The operation of hydro station is presently mostly automatic and unattended operation of power station is becoming popular. The best practices for a hydro turbine governor addresses this technology, condition assessment, operation and maintenance. Unit objectives are to maximize performance and reliability of generating station. The hydro power plant governor is to control the turbine servomotors
to adjust to flow of water of turbine regulating unit speed and power. Hence operation & maintenance of hydro governor will directly impact the reliability of hydro unit.

Trends in Corrosion, Tribology and Surface Engineering 28 – 31 May
INTRODUCTION:Minerals are converted in to metals in order to get benefit from their useful properties. The properties are further enhanced
by alloying, working and heat treating. However, all these steps involve a heavy expenditure of resources and
energy in various metallurgical operations. The cost to environment is also significant. Unfortunately, over a period,
through the process of corrosion, the metal tends to get back to the combined form, which is more stable. Corrosion
has been termed “Cancer of industry”.
The cost of loss due to corrosion is estimated to be 3 to 5% of GDP. Any attempt to slow down this process of material
degradation will mean huge savings in resources and lesser burdening of the environment. Corrosion Control is more
economical than loss of materials. It also enhances safety, for example, by preventing collapse of corroded bridges
and fall from corroded ladders. The cost of corrosion and the consequent failures can be reduced substantially, if the
mechanism of corrosion and its mitigation is understood.
Tribology plays an important role in manufacturing. In metal-forming operations, friction increases tool wear and the power required to work a piece. This results in increased costs due to more frequent tool replacement, loss of tolerance as tool dimensions shift, and greater forces required to shape a piece. The use of lubricants which minimize direct
surface contact reduces tool wear and power requirements
Surface Engineering involves altering the properties of the Surface Phase in order to reduce the degradation over
time. This is accomplished by making the surface robust to the environment in which it will be used. The subject of Surface engineering provides strategies towards minimal corrosion.

Assessment, Forecasting and Management of Floods, 03 – 07 June, 2013
INTRODUCTION:Floods have been a recurring menace in India, causing deaths and destruction in many parts of the
country, disruption of normal life and substantial economical loss. Total flood prone area in the country
is now assessed at 45.36 Million hectares of land, of which about 20 Mha only have been provided
with a reasonable degree of flood protection so far. Floods affect an area of about 7.55 Million hectares
per year on an average with the annual flood damage costing thousands of crores of rupees. The
assessment, forecasting and management of floods are crucial issues in Water Resources
Development, particularly in the context of the global situation of climate change.
As per the National Water Policy 2002, “There should be a Master Plan for Flood Control and
Management for each flood – prone basin. Adequate flood-cushion should be provided in water
storage projects, wherever feasible, to facilitate better flood management. In highly flood-prone areas,
flood control should be given overriding consideration in reservoir regulation policy even at the cost of
sacrificing some irrigation or power benefits. While physical flood protection works like embankments
and dykes will continue to be necessary, increased emphasis should be laid on non–structural
measures such as flood forecasting and warning, flood plain zoning and flood proofing for the
minimization of losses and to reduce the recurring expenditure on flood relief. There should be strict
regulation of settlements and economic activity in the flood plain zones along with flood proofing, to
minimize the loss of life and property on account of floods. The flood forecasting activities should be
modernized, value – added and extended to other uncovered areas. Inflow forecasting to reservoirs
should be instituted for their effective regulation”.
The guidelines and strategies recommended in respect of Flood Management by the National Water
Mission in December, 2008 and the Working Group Report of Planning Commission for the XII Five
Year Plan (2012 – 2017) in October, 2011 are also very much relevant and timely.
Management of floods in the Indian situation has to be organized adopting these guidelines and as per the flood contingency plans formulated by the respective States from time to time.
