The Asian Regional Energy Initiative of the IEI

Training

Our training efforts have been in the field of energy planning.
 

• Training programmes/"hands on" workshops on Energy Planning:
  
  When requested, the Asian REI of the IEI has been conducting training workshops to demonstrate methods of energy planning, particularly to personnel of utilities from India and other Asian countries. These were computer-based training sessions on integrated planning procedure -- the construction of demand scenarios, estimation of the costs of supply and conservation technologies and derivation of least-cost schedules.

The methods applicable to electricity were extended to other sources of energy, demonstrating their adaptability to analogous situations.
  
   
• Fellowships:
  
  Fellowships for the Master of Technology degree at the Department of Energy Systems Engineering of the Indian Institute of Technology (Bombay) were provided during three sessions, for engineers from Indian utilities.
