India has been on a 21-day lockdown from March 25 to check the spread of coronavirus pandemic that has claimed over 65,000 lives globally since the epidemic first emerged in China in December. The overall death toll in the country due to the novel coronavirus pandemic rose to 83 and the cases climbed to 3,577 on Sunday after 505 new infections were reported in the past 24 hours, according to the Union Health Ministry.

The only degree to which turning off the light is not effective comes from the fact that a practical generator's fuel consumption is only loosely correlated to its electrical load, and the overall operating expense comes not only from usage, but also from having it available to use. The other approach is to try to activate and de-activate various industrial power uses that don't have to be done at a particular time, to use the capacity of generators when they are under-loaded, and not use it at the peak of a summer day when all those air conditioners threaten to bring the grid down.Īs for the power dissipated in the wires, at least for well-behaved loads that basically scales with the amount of work they are moving from one place to another, so when you turn off the light, most of the power lost along the way in moving that work to you stops being lost as well. There are also some ways to store excess generating capacity at one hour for use at another - pumping water up hill (that can later generate power running back down), charging huge battery banks, spinning up flywheels - all expensive and having their inefficiencies, but in use or contemplated to some extent. Some types of generators can be started or stopped more readily than others, so they make the adjustments with those first. Of course reacting to demand changes is itself a challenge. That means they consume a little less fuel, and in the aggregate if a lot of other people go to bed too, some of the generators could probably be shut down for the night. If you turn off the switch, you break the circuit, and your lights no longer request this work of the generators. Think of electricity as a handy on-demand way of moving work done in the generating plant into your home's lights and appliances.
