Introduction • Renewable Energy – “any sustainable energy source that comes from natural environment.” • Some Aspects of Renewable Energy • It exists perpetually and in abundant in the environment • Ready to be harnessed, inexhaustible • It is a clean alternative to fossil fuels • “energy that is derived from natural process that are replenished constantly” -- defined by the RENEWABLE ENERGY WORKING PARTY of the INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY
Introduction • Contribution of Renewable Energy in World Electricity Production
Introduction • Major Renewable Energy Sources • Hydro Energy • Wind Energy • Solar Energy • Biomass Energy • Tidal Energy • Geothermal Energy • Wave Energy • Bio-fuel • Bagasse
Present Installed Capacity of Renewable Energy Sources in India Source: Ministry of New & Renewable Energy Sources (MNRE)

P = 0.5 X ρ X A X V3 P Power ρ Air Density (kg/m3) A Blade Area -turbine (m2) V Wind velocity (m/s) Wind Energy - Technology • Differential heating of the earth’s surface and atmosphere induces vertical and horizontal air currents that are affected by the earth’s rotation and contours of the land and generates WIND. • A wind turbine obtains its power input by converting the force of the wind into a torque (turning force) acting on the rotor blades. • The amount of energy which the wind transfers to the rotor depends on the density of the air, the rotor area, and the wind speed. • PLF of Wind Farm is normally in the range of 20 % to 30% depending upon the site conditions and WTG rating.
Wind Energy - Technology • Major Components of Wind Turbine
Wind Energy – Present Scenario • Wind Power – Fastest growing renewable energy source • Globally, it grew at the average rate of 27 % pa over the past 10 years. • While in India it grew at the average rate of 33% over the past 9 years. • Presently, India is ranked 4th in the world in terms of Wind Energy Installed Capacity • Drivers of growth • Environmental Awareness and Sustainable Development • Growing Global Energy Demand • Improving Competitiveness of renewable energy • Security of Supply Concerns • New Markets (e.g. India, China etc) • Carbon Trading • Fiscal Benefits by Govt. (PTC, feed in tariffs, etc)

Solar Energy - Technology • Solar power is by far the Earth's most available energy source, easily capable of providing many times the total current energy demand. • Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity. • Two main commercial ways of conversion of sunlight into electricity. • Concentrating Solar Thermal Plant (CSP) • Photovoltaic Plants (PV) • CSP and PV both have their markets. PV is very successful in decentralized applications, whereas CSP offers advantages for central and large-scale applications. CSP power plants are the most cost-efficient way to generate and to store dispatch able CO2-free electricity. However, there is no competition between both. Rather, they have to be seen as complementary technologies. • PLF of CSP – In the range of 20 % to 30 % PLF of PV – In the range of 15 % to 20 %

Solar Energy - Technology • Solar Photovoltaic Plants (PV) It contains; • Solar Arrays • Inverter • Transformer
Solar Energy - Technology • In both CSP and PV technologies, solar resources plays major role. • Maps are available to calculate solar resource of a particular region. However, for both CSP and PV technologies different solar radiations are taken into account. • Basically two types of solar radiations are there; • Global Horizontal irradiations (GHI) • Direct Normal Irradiation (DNI) • For PV technologies GHI is considered. GHI consists of diffuse radiations and direct horizontal radiations (beam). Minimum GHI – 1000 kwh/m2 pa • For CSP, DNI is considered. DNI is the amount of radiation received by a surface which is permanently aligned perpendicular to the incoming beam. Minimum DNI – 1900 kwh/m2 pa
A typical GHI irradiation Map for India which is used to find a feasible site for PV Plant. A typical DNI irradiation Map for India which is used to find a feasible site for CSP Plant. Solar Energy - Technology
The total installed capacity of solar power (Both CSP and PV) as of 2008 is 2826 MW. In India the total installed capacity of solar power is around 2 MW. In India, various government and private players have entered into CSP and PV markets. MNRE has set a target to establish at least 50 MW of solar projects during the 11th plan.
