Researchers at Temple University have shown that a strong electric field applied to a section of pipeline can smooth oil flow and yield significant pump energy savings in oil transport. Tests on a section of the Keystone pipeline found that the same flow rate could be achieved with a 75 percent reduction of pump power from 2.8 megawatts to 0.7 megawatts,

The energy footprint of a Solace appliance is approximately the same as a single server, so the energy saving is 90-98% across the messaging estate – with better performance, higher reliability and lower cost (you don’t have to buy those 50 servers).

The project is expected to save the Army Materiel Command depot nearly 14.8 million kilowatt-hours of electricity each year -- enough energy to power more than 1,360 homes on average, and an environmental benefit of cutting an estimated 72 million pounds of carbon dioxide each year, which is equivalent to removing more than 6,300 cars from the road.

According to data from the Provincial Department of Trade and Industry, the total amount of power saved by the province in 2014 reached 44,333,546 kWh, equivalent to VND61 billion.

In an effort to achieve more results from the National Target Program on Energy Conservation and Efficiency, in 2015, the program will focus on solutions to in-depth communication and stronger support for enterprises to bring about the best effects in energy efficiency.

The Northern Power Corporation (EVNNPC) started to enhance the practical measures to achieve the savings target of 1.5% of commercial electricity, equivalent to 656.7 million kWh.

Heading towards the goal of "every house saves power, everyone is a power saver", the Electricity Company of Can Tho City, in collaboration with other stakeholders, has been developing a family model of power saving, to encourage mass units, unions and the households in the locality to participate.

The state of Maharashtra is soon expected to have a policy on energy conservation which will promote the use of power saving LED lighting and building up of renewable energy sources.

The Delimara Power Station is currently using heavy fuel oil and running on eight Wärtsilä 46 engines. The project includes the conversion of four of the current engines into Wärtsilä 50SG and four into Wärtsilä 50DF engines.

In 2015 General Southern Electric Company (EVNSPC) continues to focus on developing more power-saving-program

“If you use motors without drives, you are using more electricity. You can save 30 to 40 per cent power by using the drive technology”.

With 5.25 million kWh, equivalent to VND7.51 billion saved by 45,675 households in 2014, Haiphong Power Limited Company has succeeded with the Power savings emulating program.

According to the BPMA, pumps account for no less than 10% of the world’s electricity consumption and two-thirds use up to 60% too much power.

In the implementation of Directive 171/CT-TTg dated 01/26/2011 issued by the Prime Minister, Vietnam Electricity has promulgated guidance to its subordinate units to enhance the power savings in 2015.

Now a team from CEA/Leti-Minatec has created a system that is capable of recovering kinetic energy from the impact of falling raindrops.

Vestas has received an order for 365 V52-850 kW turbines for the 310 MW Lake Turkana Wind Power project in Kenya. The order is the largest in Vestas’ history in terms of number of wind turbines in a single project.

Solar power almost doubled in the last year, with 650,000 installations ranging from solar farms to panels on homes, figures showed.

A new report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) claims that realising the renewable energy plans of the Gulf Cooperation Council region (GCC) will result in 20% less water withdrawals in the power sector.

With demand response, grid operators use technologies to reduce the peak demand, thereby avoiding the need to build or maintain these expensive power plants.

Power minister Piyush Goyal has said that, overall, conservation can help save $8 billion of electricity annually and provide power to 50 million people.
