1. Introduction
In today's world of climbing fuel prices, approaching the peak oil supply limit, and discussions of global warming, renewable energy is gaining more public attention and receiving more financial and legislative support. We need to learn more about the different types of renewable energy so that you can help educate your family, friends, and policymakers about ways to help our country move towards energy independence and environmental sustainability. According to a USAID report, Pakistan has the potential of producing 150,000 megawatts of wind energy, of which only the Sindh corridor can produce 40,000 megawatts.
2. Definition
Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that comes from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat. Renewable energy replaces conventional fuels in four distinct areas: electricity generation, hot water/space heating, motor fuels, and rural (off-grid) energy services.
3. Types of Renewable Energy
Most Countries currently relies heavily on coal, oil, and natural gas for its energy. Fossil fuels are non-renewable, that is, they draw on finite resources that will eventually dwindle, becoming too expensive or too environmentally damaging to retrieve. In contrast, renewable energy resources such as wind and solar energy are constantly replenished and will never run out.
Most renewable energy comes either directly or indirectly from the sun. Sunlight, or solar energy, can be used directly for heating and lighting homes and other buildings, for generating electricity, and for hot water heating, solar cooling, and a variety of commercial and industrial uses.
The sun's heat also drives the winds, whose energy, is captured with wind turbines. Then, the winds and the sun's heat cause water to evaporate. When this water vapor turns into rain or snow and flows downhill into rivers or streams, its energy can be captured using hydroelectric power. Along with the rain and snow, sunlight causes plants to grow. The organic matter that makes up those plants is known as biomass. Biomass can be used to produce electricity, transportation fuels, or chemicals. The use of biomass for any of these purposes is called bioenergy.
Hydrogen also can be found in many organic compounds, as well as water. It's the most abundant element on the Earth. But it doesn't occur naturally as a gas. It's always combined with other elements, such as with oxygen to make water. Once separated from another element, hydrogen can be burned as a fuel or converted into electricity.
Not all renewable energy resources come from the sun. Geothermal energy taps the Earth's internal heat for a variety of uses, including electric power production, and the heating and cooling of buildings. And the energy of the ocean's tides come from the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun upon the Earth.
In fact, ocean energy comes from a number of sources. In add

Resources of Renewable Energy in IndiaIJERA Editor
Renewable energy resources sector growth in India has been significant, even for electricity generation from
renewable sources. Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain,
tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished). Even for the decentralized systems, the
growth for solar home lighting systems has been 300%, solar lanterns 99% and solar photovoltaic water pumps
196%. This is a phenomenal growth in the renewable energy sector mainly for applications that were considered
to be supplied only through major electricity utilities. Some large projects have been proposed, and a 35,000
km2 area of the Thar Desert has been set aside for solar power projects, sufficient to generate 700 to 2,100 giga
watts. Renewable energy systems are also being looked upon as a major application for electrification of 20,000
remote and unelectrified villages and hamlets by 2007 and all households in such villages and hamlets by 2018.

2. The first demonstration of electric light in Calcutta
was conducted on 24 July 1879 by P W Floury &
Co. Mumbai saw electric lighting demonstration
for the first time in 1882 at Crawford Market, and
Bombay Electric Supply & Tramways Company
(B.E.S.T.) set up a generating station in 1905 to
provide electricity for the tramway. The first
hydroelectric installation in India was installed
near a tea estate at Sidrapong for the Darjeeling
Municipality in 1897.The first electric train ran
between Bombay's Victoria Terminus and Kurla
along the Harbour Line, in 1925. In
1931, electrification of the meter gauge track
between Madras Beach and Tambaram was
started.
3. Power development in India was first started in
1897 in Darjeeling, followed by commissioning of a
hydropower station at Sivasamudram in
Karnataka during 1902.
Since 1990, India has been one of the fastest
growing markets for new electricity generation
capacity.
The country's annual electricity generation
capacity has increased in last 20 years by about 120
GW, from about 66 GW in 1991to over 100 GW in
2001,to over 185 GW in 2011.
4. State-owned and privately owned companies are
significant players generating electricity in India.
As of August 2011, the states and union territories
of India with power surplus were Himachal
Pradesh, Sikkim, Tripura, Gujarat,
Delhi and Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
India's central government and state
governments jointly regulate electricity sector in
India.

6. MAIN SOURCES
o Thermal power
Thermal power plants convert energy rich fuel into
electricity and heat. Possible fuels include coal, natural gas,
petroleum products, agricultural waste and domestic trash
waste.
India expects that its projected rapid growth in electricity
generation over the next couple of decades is expected to be
largely met by thermal power plants.
7. o HYDRO POWER

15. Of the 1.4 billion people of the world who have no
access to electricity in the world, India accounts for
over 300 million.
800 million Indians use traditional fuels –
fuelwood, agricultural waste and biomass cakes –
for cooking and general heating needs
The five states with largest power demand and
availability, as of May 2011, were Maharashtra,
Andhra pradesh ,Tamil nadu, Uttar pradesh and
gujarat
16. According to a sample of 97,882 households in
2002, electricity was the main source of lighting for
53% of rural households compared to 36% in 1993
India currently suffers from a major shortage of
electricity generation capacity, even though it is
the world's fourth largest energy consumer after
United States, China and Russia.The International
Energy Agency estimates India needs an
investment of at least $135 billion to provide
universal access of electricity to its population.
17. Gujarat was declared a power surplus
state, with about 2–3 GW more power available
than its internal demand
Over 2010–11, India's industrial demand
accounted for 35% of electrical power
requirement, domestic household use
accounted for 28%, agriculture
21%, commercial 9%, public lighting and other
miscellaneous applications accounted for the
rest.
18. India's demand for electricity may cross 300
GW, earlier than most estimates
REASONS
1) India's manufacturing sector is likely to grow
faster than in the past
2) Domestic demand will increase more rapidly
as the quality of life for more Indians improve
3) About 125,000 villages are likely to get
connected to India's electricity grid
19. 1) Government giveaways such as free electricity
for farmers, partly to curry political
favour, have depleted the cash reserves of
state-run electricity-distribution system.
2) Shortages of fuel: despite abundant reserves of
coal, India is facing a severe shortage of coal.
The country isn't producing enough to feed its
power plants. Some plants do not have reserve
coal supplies to last a day of operations.
20. 3) The giant new offshore natural gas field has
delivered less fuel than projected
4) hydroelectric power projects in India's
mountainous north and northeast regions have
been slowed down by ecological, environmental
and rehabilitation controversies, coupled with
public interest litigations.
5) The July 2012 blackout, affecting the north of the
country, was the largest power grid failure in
history by number of people affected.
21. 6) In 2010, electricity losses in India during
transmission and distribution were about
24%, while losses because of consumer theft or
billing deficiencies added another 10–15%
7) Power cuts are common throughout India and the
consequent failure to satisfy the demand for
electricity has adversely effected India's economic
growth.
8) Over 300 million Indian citizens had no access to
electricity. Over one third of India's rural
population lacked electricity, as did 6% of the
urban population
22. India's Ministry of Power launched Rajiv
Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana as one
of its flagship programme in March 2005 with
the objective of electrifying over one lakh un-
electrified villages and to provide free
electricity connections to 2.34 crore rural
households
This free electricity program promises energy
access to India's rural areas, but is in part
creating problems for India's electricity sector
23. A Ministry of Renewal and New Energy
announcement claims State Renewable Energy
Agencies are being supported to organize
short-term training programmes for
installation, operation and maintenance and
repair of renewable energy systems in such
places where intensive RE programme are
being implemented
Renewable Energy Chairs have been
established in IIT Roorkee and IIT Kharagpur.
