Item Comparing Environmental Impact of Various Energy Sources Powering Data Centres’s at Indian Candidate Locations(Springer, 2021-08) Srinivasan, P.While major 21st century developments are data-intensive, the use and storage of such high volumes of data are processed through datacentres. Though Datacentres (DC) are typically high-power consumption applications, the percentage of energy consumption is even higher in developing economies such as India. This paper studies the net environmental impact of energy supply to such datacentres, at four candidate locations, by examining their net Green House Gas Emissions per kWh and land usage per kW. The study analyses various sources of energy such as thermal, wind, and solar plus battery systems to provide a comprehensive view of environmental impacts caused by the power supply.Item Evaluation and comparison of environmental performance for shackle insulators – a case study(Emerald, 2019-09) Sangwan, Kuldip SinghThe purpose of this paper is to compare environmental performance of two shackle insulator manufacturing enterprises in India by evaluating and quantifying the life cycle environmental impacts in these enterprises using ISO 14040 guidelines.Item Life Cycle Assessment of Filtration Systems of Reverse Osmosis Units: A Case Study of a University Campus(Elsevier, 2016) Sangwan, Kuldip Singh; Raghuvanshi, SmitaEnvironmental concerns are gaining importance in ground water resource management. Reverse osmosis (RO) systems are commonly used for filtration of surface and ground water for domestic and commercial purposes. This study aims to analyze the environmental impacts of electricity, fresh water and material consumption in various types of RO systems. The evaluation tool used for this study is life cycle assessment (LCA) and for this purpose Umberto NXT Universal software with Eco-invent version 3.0 database has been utilized. The inventory analysis has been done for RO systems of four different capacities, viz 25, 50, 250, and 500 liters per hour (LPH). This research also provides comparison of quantitative impacts of different capacity RO systems. All inclusive, the study presents an insight into the environmental impacts of various RO systems used in India and also discuss the alternative technologies for filtration of surface and ground water.
