What is Renewable Energy?

Renewable energy is an energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, biomass, ocean wave, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished).

Why Renewable Energy?

Upto 1973 cheap oil was available Within seven years oil prices rose by nineteen times. Environmental constraints. These factors led to the development of renewable energy.

COMPARISION
Renewable Sources Renewed by natural processes. No pollution. Available in plenty. Present in dilute form. Non renewable sources Not renewed by natural processes. Causes pollution. Limited reserves. Mostly concentrated.

SOLAR ENERGY
India has about 300 bright sunny days in a year with a average global radiation of 4-7 KWh/sq.m/day. Total solar energy potential has been estimated 50,000 MW. Presently installed capacity is 481.48 MW.
10

SOLAR ENERGY
Capital cost of solar photovoltaic system is 20 crore per MW. India has launched Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) to be implemented between 1st April 2010 and 31st March 2013 with a target of 200 MW capacity.

WIND ENERGY

14

WIND ENERGY
Energy harnessed from flowing wind is wind energy. Wind power accounts for around 70 percent of the installed generation capacity from renewable sources. The countrys total wind energy potential has been estimated as 45,000 MW
15

WIND ENERGY.
Speed winds from (5- 25)m/sec are considered favorable for wind turbines. Short gestation period. Installation cost about Rs. 4 crore/MW. Pay back period is about 1 year.

BIOMASS ENERGY

19

BIOMASS ENERGY
Energy resources available from animal and vegetation are called biomass energy resources. Bio gas contains around 55-65% CH4, 30-40% CO2. The calorific value of biogas is high.

21

BIOMASS ENERGY
Indias climatic conditions offer an ideal environment for biomass production. Total installed capacity of 3000 MW. The total potential in India has been estimated as 30,000 MW.

22

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

23

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
Derived from stored thermal energy in the interior of earth. Total potential in India is 10,000 MW. Two potential sites located at Tattapani, Chattisgarh and Puga valley in J&K.

Uses of Geothermal Energy

Electricity generation Space heating Hot water supply De-icing Crops in green house

26

Ocean Energies

27

Ocean Wave Energy

Energy of waves is harnessed to generate electricity. Ocean wave potential on Indian coast is 0.02 MW/m of wave front. No operational power plant in India. A 150 KW pilot power plant installed at Vizhingum Harbour, Kerala.
28

Ocean Tidal Energy

Tides are caused by interaction of gravitational fields of sun & moon. No functional tidal power plant at present In India total potential is estimated as 8000-9000 MW.

29

Ocean Tidal Energy

Potential sites at Gulf of Kutch (1200MW), Gulf of Cambay(7000MW), Sundarbens(1000MW). Gujarat has planned for the installation of Indias first commercial tidal power plant with a capacity of 50 MW by 2013.

EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES

32

HYDROGEN ENERGY
Cleanest source of energy. Can easily be obtained by hydrolysis of water. NASA has used liquid hydrogen since the 1970s to propel the space shuttle and other rockets into orbit.
