  1. DRIVERS AND BARRIERS TO ENERGY CONSERVATION IN RAILWAY WORKSHOPS: A CASE STUDY OF TWO MAJOR CENTRES IN SOUTH INDIA Suresh D. Mane & Dr. N. Nagesha

  2. Outline • Introduction • Literature review • Objective and Scope • Statistical Methodology • Results & Discussions • Conclusions • Acknowledgement • References

  3. INTRODUCTION • Energy Supplies – Finite & Dwindling • Environmental Issues, Costs – On the rise • CO2 – 350 ppm • India – Annually10,48,533 Million Units (MU) supply is 9,78,301 MU a deficit of 6.7%. • Peak requirement - 1, 44,225 MW, Deficit 6.2% • Installed Capacity Constraints • Oil Imports @ 80% of requirement • Outflow of foreign exchange Rs 5 lakh Crores p.a.

  4. INDIAN RAILWAYS • India's largest energy consumer - 2.5% of nation’s total electricity and 40% of diesel. • 2012-13, 17.15 billion units of electricity and 2.35 billion liters of diesel • 2014-15 – Rs 35,474 Crores i.e. 20% • World's third largest network • Resource Crunch – FDI, PPP • 11 National EC Awards, the highest ever by any industry, BEE in 2012

  5. 11 Departments R&D infrastructure, Expenses marginal Railway Energy Management Company formed in 2013 + PTC

  6. RAILWAY WORKSHOPS • Workshops – Maintenance of Locomotives, coaches and wagons • 41 Workshops , 20 Coach maintenance • Study relates to – Carriage Repair Workshop, (UBLS) Hubli and Central Workshops, Mysore (MYSS) • Established in 1885 and 1924

  15. Organisational Structure of IR

  16. LITERATURE REVIEW • Nagesha and Balachandra (2006) found that Financial & Economic barrier was the top barrier group followed by Behavioral & Personal barrier in the SSI sector. • Patrick Thollander et al (2013) driving forces were found to be financially related followed by organizational driving forces. EC potential - 7.5%.

  17. Somashekar and Nagesha (2010) -10 factors influencing domestic household energy consumption in India using FA • GuntherEllwanger (UIC, 2013) Average external cost of transport per passenger (in Euros per 1000 km) was least for Rail. The results in Euros per 1000 km for others are; Car – 72, Aviation 52, Bus 32, and Rail -18.

  18. Jenny Palm and Patrik Thollander (2010) Cost effective EETs - lack of information, procedural impediments and routines not favouring energy efficiency. (LCC) • Weber (1997), consumption belongs to the realm of technology but EC to the realm of society. Social factors are relevant, in addition to technology. • Baranzi and Giovannini (1996) link energy consumption to four major factors viz. technological, economic and financial, institutional and cultural.

  19. METHODOLOGY Drivers – 7 drivers identified. Forced ranking methodology was adopted using the weighted average method. Barriers – 25 variables , Factor analysis was applied using SPSS software version 20.

  20. BARRIERS- FACTOR ANALYSISSAMPLE & POPULATION • Total -124 respondents 5 Point Likert Scale • 25 variables, • UBLS has 235 supervising engineers and seven technical officers • MYSS has 157 supervising engineers and six technical officers • 82 from UBLS and 42 from MYSS • Sample - 34 % of population at UBLS • Sample - 26 % population at MYSS.

  21. Chief Workshop Manger (CWM) Dy. Chief Workshop Manager (Dy. CWM) Sr. Material Manager (SMM) Sr. Asst. Finan. Advisor (Sr. AFA) Works Manager (WM) Production Engineer (PE) Divisional Elec. Engr. (DEE) Workshop Personnel Officer (WPO) Asst. Workshop Mgr (AWM) Asst. Workshop Mgr (AWM) Asst. Workshop (AWM) Asst. Electrical Engr. (AEE) Senior Section Engineer (SSE) Junior Engineer (JE) Technicians Support Staff

  22. Factor Analysis • Multivariate Statistical approach to analyze interrelationships among variable • Common dimensions/factors/components • Data reduction • Sample adequacy – 100 acceptable ( Min 50) • Overall Significance of Correlation matrix – KMO & Bartlett test

  23. Kaiser Meyer Olkin (KMO) &Bartlett’s test for sphericity • Compares the magnitude of observed correlation coefficients with the magnitude of partial correlation coefficient. • Higher the better correlation between variables can be explained by other variables. • The Bartlett’s test of sphericity takes the determinant of the correlation matrix into consideration. • KMO value for the combined responses at 0.770 (should be > 0.50), • Bartlett’s test for sphericity - 0.000 level (Should be < 0.05) Meeting the requirements.

  24. PCA methodology • Searches for the weight or factor score coefficient so that the first factor explains the largest population of variance. • This explained variance is subtracted from the original input matrix so as to yield a residual matrix. • A second principal factor is extracted from the residual matrix in such a way that the second takes care of most of the residual variance and so on, and this procedure is repeated until there is a very little variance to be explained.

  25. Factor loading • Correlation coefficient between the factor score and variable is called factor loading. • Factor loadings are used to compute Eigen values for each factor and the communalities of each variable. • For the interpretation of factor, the factor loading matrix is rotated. • The main purpose of rotation is to bring the smallest loadings close to zero and its largest loading towards unity. • Varimaxmethod for rotation. • After completing the rotation, a cut off point for factor loading is selected. > 0.5, and the same is adopted • Thus, variables with a loading of > 0.5 naming the factor appropriately.

  26. VARIABLES

  27. Total Variance explained for combined data from workshops

  28. DRIVERS TO EC • Dedication of Management, Supervisors and Staff towards EC. • Awareness of Associates for Adoption of latest Technologies. • Capacity Utilization of Machinery and equipment. • Top Management viz. Zonal Head Quarters and Railway Boards drive for EC. • Education of Associates, Training provided, and Skill developed due to experience. • Recognition, Motivation by Management for EC activities. • Concern for planet earth, and Environment protection.
