Renewable source of energy

India is endowed with abundant of solar radiation. The country receives solar radiation equivalent to more than 5,000 trillion kWh/year, which is far more than its total annual energy requirement.  The radiation available could be utilized for thermal as well as for photovoltaic applications. Solar thermal technologies have already found ready acceptance for a variety of decentralized applications in domestic, industrial and commercial sectors of the country.  The most widely acceptable application is the solar water heating technology. However, solar steam generating and air heating technolog...

Our society is facing energy challenges as the demand for energy is increasing day by day. The demand for energy in the entire world has reached the level that is difficult to be met by fossil fuels. Presently, fossil fuels are providing more than 85% of the global energy demand. These fossil fuels are limited. Also, it has a significant adverse effect on the environment, for example, acid rain, high ozone concentration, particulate and aerosols that are detrimental to air quality. The limited supply of fossil fuels and its detrimental effect on the environment has led the scientists to search...

Factors, both human and physical, including climatic conditions, hydrology, geomorphology and cropping practices are evaluated in terms of their contribution in desertification development. Particular emphasis is given on the effects of cultivation practices and the animal husbandry. The relation between local plants and desertification is also studied, emphasizing the role of the olive tree which is the dominant crop in the area. The main causes which are found to favor the occurrence of desertification include population increase, the extent of areas with low or without plant coverage, overg...

The electricity requirements of the world including India are increasing at alarming rate and the power demand has been running ahead of supply. It is also now widely recognized that the fossil fuels (i.e., coal, petroleum and natural gas) and other conventional resources, presently being used for generation of electrical energy, may not be either sufficient or suitable to keep pace with ever increasing demand of the electrical energy of the world. Also generation of electrical power by cold based steam power plant or nuclear power plants causes pollution, which is likely to be more accurate i...

O obnovljivim izvorima energije (Suncevoj ener-giji, energiji vjetra, biogorivima, geotermalnoj energiji, energiji plime i oseke, energiji ocean-skih, morskih struja i valova, vodiku...) u pos-ljednje vrijeme sve se vise govori. Ocito je da smo konacno ozbiljno shvatili upozorenja znan-stvenika o katastrofalnim posljedicama global-nog zatopljenja i klimatskih promjena koje smo sami uzrokovali emisijama stetnih plinova i one-ciscenjem okolisa, a jesu li to shvatili i odgovorni ljudi i politicari svijeta koji odlucuju o sudbini malog i obicnog covjeka, to ce se tek vidjeti. Sve veca i veca potro...

A renewable resource is a natural reserve which will restock to replace the bit exhausted by usage and utilization, either through natural duplicate or other confirmed processes in a finite quantity of time in a human time scale. Some examples of renewable energy sources are solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, geothermal energy and biomass energy. These types of energy sources are different from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. India is one of the countries with the largest production of energy from renewable sources. As of 2019, India's total electricity generation mix is ...

Integration of renewable energy sources involves integrating in a system any energy resource that naturally regenerates over a short period of time. This time scale is derived directly from the sun (such as for themal, photochemical, and photoelectric energy), indirectly from the sun (such as for wind, hydropower, and photosynthetic energy stored in biomass), or from other natural movements and mechanisms of environment (such as for geothermal and tidal energy). A renewable energy source cannot run out and causes so little damage to the environment that its use does not need to be restricted. ...

Lesson plan containing a collection of activities and resources regarding renewable energy sources that meet state education standards and national sustainability standards for the 8th grade level.

This paper illustrates the generation of energy from non-conventional source (Piezoelectric materials) of energy & reduces the use & dependency on fossil fuels.

An overview of the work done on new and renewable sources of energy in India is presented and the growth of an energy scenario and the existence of energy-related foreign exchange deficits are discussed. The available energy stock of India has to be proven at an accelerated pace and new sources of energy must be exploited immediately. Various means available to convert solar energy and the respective technologies and devices are discussed and the organizations involved in exploiting these technologies are pointed out. The discussion includes wind energy, hydro-power, ocean power, biomass sourc...

After an introduction by Morris Miller, Deputy Secretary-General of this conference, the book examines the technological and economic prospects and the problems involved in application of new and renewable energy technologies for development. Next a summary of national developments in both industrialized and Third World countries is followed by the full text of the Nairobi Plan of Action and an examination of the potentials and constraints on applying new and renewable energy sources in the development process. Contents: Preface. The Challenge of the Energy Transition: The UN Response; Synthes...

Stochastic, that is to say, the uncontrollable varying of oil prices on the world market, is the cause of considerable concern not only to energy engineers but also of common people. The reason is as simple as that: the price rise per oil barrel on the world market affects the increasing cost of living for all of us. Recently, we have witnessed the rocketing oil price which had no sooner risen to 160 US $ per barrel, when in only a several days it fell to 50 US $.

The British Association for the Advancement of Science, with the Institute of Energy and the Fellowship of Engineering held a one-day seminar on 18 May 1983 on the topic of Renewable Energy Resources. Under the chairmanship of Sir George Porter and Sir Hugh Ford, this well-attended seminar covered the prospects and potential for various renewable resources in the UK, as well as briefly assessing European and worldwide developments. From various predictions, the percentage of UK energy needs which could be met by 'alternative' sources such as wind, wave, tidal and solar, could be 5% (IIASA) to ...

This note seeks to provide an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's impact assessment (IA) accompanying the above proposal, submitted on 30 November 2016 and referred to Parliament’s Committee on Industry, Research, and Energy (ITRE). The Commission's proposal is a recast of the existing Renewable Energy Directive 2009/28/EC of 2009 (and amended in 2015). The aim of the proposed recast is to achieve the goal of deriving 27 % of energy from renewable sources in EU energy consumption by 2030. This binding EU-level target was agreed by the European Council ...
