Switching to LEDs

Power Minister Piyush Goyal had repeatedly emphasized that the country would save 100 billion units of electricity a year by switching over to LED, which, he said, translated to a saving of Rs.40,000 crore across all households.

Switching to LEDs also helps the government meet its carbon dioxide emission reduction targets, since lower power consumption will eventually result in lower power production and hydrocarbon use .

According to the website of the Domestic Efficient Lighting Programme (DELP), the government has sold 9.17 crore LED bulbs as of April 6, the utilisation of which would result in a reduction of 26,451 tonnes of carbon dioxide per day, or almost 10 million tonnes a year. To put it in perspective, 10 million tonnes of CO2 is equivalent to nearly 54 million railcar worth of coal burned.

Under the Street Light National Programme, the government has converted 7,50,780 streetlights to LED, which, according to the programme website, has resulted in a saving of more than 2.72 lakh units of electricity per day.

And, the new line of fans will only add to this environmentally-friendly endeavour.

“The cooling needs of most of the households in India are met by fans, given that the penetration of ACs in households is still less than 10 per cent,” EESL (Energy Efficiency Services - a government-run joint venture.) stated in a release, following the announcement of its line of energy efficient fans. “The average rating of the fans installed and sold in the market is between 75-80 W, whereas energy efficient fans provide the same level of comfort at about 45-50 W.”

“There are 35 crore inefficient fans across the country. If all of these are replaced with BEE 5-star rated energy efficient fans, the country will have an expected annual energy savings of 47 billion KWh with a reduction of over 12,250 MW of electricity load,” EESL added.

ConFab conference

Here's a preview of The ConFab's "must-attend" conference program.

FEATURED KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Dr. Tom Caulfield, SVP and GM, Fab 8, GLOBALFOUNDRIES Dr. Caulfield is SVP and GM of GLOBALFOUNDRIES' latest leading-edge  300mm wafer manufacturing facility (Fab 8), located in Saratoga County,  NY. Caulfield, who joined the company in May 2014, leads the operations,  expansion and ramp of semiconductor manufacturing production at  Fab 8, where GLOBALFOUNDRIES supports customers on  the world's most advanced semiconductor manufacturing  technology platforms including 28 nm, 20nm, and 14nm. Sunny Hui, SVP of Worldwide Marketing, SMIC Mr. Hui joined Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC),  the largest and most advanced semiconductor foundry in mainland China,  in April 2010.  He is presently the SVP of Worldwide Marketing responsible for setting up  corporate direction and developing product strategies. Before he  assumed his current role in Marketing, Sunny was the President of  SMIC Americas where he managed and developed the North America business for SMIC.  Prior to that, Sunny was the President of Grace Semiconductor North America.  He also worked across various functions in Chartered  Semiconductor Manufacturing in early part of his career.

CONFERENCE THEME ANNOUNCED

Pete Singer, Editorial Director, Solid State Technology Conference Chair, The ConFab At the The ConFab 2016, we will delve into why it's  "The New Age of Innovation for Semiconductors." Industry experts will describe  why new innovation is required to address fundamental shifts in  the market, as conventional drivers, such as PCs and smartphones,  are becoming saturated. It's not clear what the next market driver will be.  The Internet of Things (IoT) shows tremendous promise, yet it's a highly  fragmented market, spanning applications among consumer, medical,  automotive, home and logistics. In addition to the new  "big data" infrastructure, new innovations are required for 5G infrastructure;  5G smartphones and other platforms; image processing;  image sensors; autonomous vehicles and data storage systems. A key part of the equation, and a longtime focus of The ConFab, is  the economics of semiconductor manufacturing. Speakers and panelists  will address such questions as who will be able to afford leading edge  technology in sufficient volume to drive significant investment, and when  will 7nm and 5nm come into play? Is continued consolidation putting  innovation at risk, particularly in light of increasing R&D  and design costs, increasing chip complexity and increased variety of materials? CEOs, fab managers, suppliers and others are critically concerned  about these trends, because they must plan now for devices  that will go into production in the next few years. Foundries,  in particular, face the challenge of confidently supplying  specs for designs that will be produced at next-generation technology nodes.  The ConFab's expert speakers will talk to these issues and  provide a useful overview of notable trends, challenges and opportunities.  – Pete Singer, Conference Chair

PREVIEW: SESSIONS AND SPEAKERS

With unprecedented consolidation facing the industry, The ConFab is  a "must attend" event for those with management responsibility at semiconductor-related organizations.  register for your pass today.
