1. A new small cogeneration plant installation is expected to reduce a company’s annual


energy bill by Rs.4,86,000/-. If the capital cost of the new boiler installation is
Rs.22,20,000/- and the annual maintenance and operating costs are Rs.42,000,
calculate the expected payback period for the project?
2. An energy audit in a factory indicates that the total electrical consumption per year is
Rs. 5.5 x 106. By upgrading a few motors with high efficiency motors, a 15% saving
in energy can be realized. The additional cost of energy efficient motors is Rs.
4,25,000 and the installation cost is Rs. 80,000. Assuming a 15 year life cycle, is the
expenditure justifiable on a minimum return of 20 %. Conduct an economic analysis
using present worth method.
3. Consider a project which has the following cash flow stream. The cost of capital, k,
for the firm is 10 percent. Calculate the Net Present Value of the proposal?
Investment Rs. (1,000,000)
Saving in Year Cash flow
1 200,000
2 200,000
3 300,000
4 300,000
5 350,000

4. A cogeneration system installation is expected to reduce a company’s annual energy


bill by Rs. 23 Lakhs. If the capital cost of the new generation installation is Rs. 90
Lakhs and the annual maintenance and operating costs are Rs. 5 Lakhs, what will be
the expected payback period for the project?
5. Calculate the energy saving and payback period which can be achieved by replacing a
11 kW, existing motor with an EEM. The capital investment required for EEM is Rs.
40,000/-. Cost of energy/kWh is Rs. 5. The loading is 70% of the rated value for both
motors. Efficiency of the existing motor is 81% and that of EEM is 84.7%.
6. Calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) for a device that costs 5 lakhs which lasts
for 10 years and result in fuel saving of Rs 1.5 lakhs each year.
7. Calculate net present value for an investment towards an LED (Assume discount rate
is 8% and life of the LED is 2 years). The investment is Rs.400. The saving in the first
year is Rs 800 and that in the second year is Rs. 600
8. Calculate the energy saving and payback period which can be achieved by replacing a
10 kW, existing motor with an energy efficient motor (EEM). The capital investment
required for EEM is Rs. 35,000/-. Cost of energy/kWh is Rs. 5. The loading is 75% of
the rated value for both motors. Efficiency of the existing motor is 81% and that of
EEM is 85%. Assume an annual operating hours of 5000 for both motors.
