This document discusses renewable energy developments in India. It notes that renewable energy currently contributes 12.83% of India's total installed power capacity. Key points include: - India has significant potential for wind, solar and biomass energy. - Targets are set to increase renewable capacity to 55,000 MW, or 17% of total capacity, by 2017. - The share of electricity from renewable sources is projected to rise from 6% currently to 9% by 2017.

2. Sustainable Development
A Development is sustainable when
“ the needs of the present are to be met without
compromising the ability of future generations
to meet their own needs”.
Sustainable development is more than just
“Environment Conservation”. It is development
that is environmentally, socially and economically
sustainable.

3. Energy is ‘prime mover’ of the development process.
There is a direct correlation of energy consumption
and economic growth of a society / country.
Economic growth calls for increasing use of energy.
ENERGY FOR DEVELOPMENT

4. • Energy access is related to poverty, development,
gender disparity, environment, health and also
sustainability.
• Over 3 billion people in developing countries today rely
on traditional biomass for cooking and heating
• About 1.5 billion people are without electricity.
• Provision of basic energy services to these energy-
poor citizens is a challenge world over and particularly
in developing countries.
• Energy access is crucial to inclusive and sustainable
economic growth.

10.  Deployment of renewable power during the 11th
Plan
(2007-2012) has made it the second largest source
after conventional power.
 A target of 14,000 MW capacity addition was
achieved during 2007-2012 (the 11th
Plan).
 A capacity addition of 30,000 MW is being targeted
during the 12th
Plan (2012-17)

Solar Mission
Targets
 20,000 MW grid by 2022
 2.000 MW off-grid by 2022
 20 million households covered by solar lighting
 20 m sq meter of solar thermal
Objectives
 Achieve grid parity by 2022
 Increase domestic manufacturing capacity
 Develop eco system for solar industry
 Develop manpower
 Support R & D

15. R&D Strategy for Solar research in India
 R&D in SPV and Solar thermal has been undertaken since late seventies
 Renewed Thrust on R&D in JNN Solar Mission
 R&D thrust areas are identified to achieve technical and cost
goals
 Centers of Excellence created in research, education, Testing
and Characterization
 Industry involvement and Consortia approach promoted
including partners from both India & abroad
 Technology incubation and Validation
 International collaborations

16. R&D in Solar Thermal Systems
Indigenous development of Solar Water Heating systems and Solar
Cookers and full commercialization. Well established manufacturing
base.
 Second generation technology developed using Selective coating
absorbers
Number of modes developed for Solar Box type and concentrating
dish cookers.
Scheffler cookers for indoor cooking for large kitchens.
Concentrator technologies for steam generation and industrial
process heat applications

18. Contribution of Renewables after
12th
Plan ( 2017)
At the end of 12th
Plan,
•the total power generation capacity of the country is
expected to be 318,800 MW
Renewables are expected to contribute about 17% in
this capacity (55,000 MW)
and
Over 9% in the electricity mix

19. Renewable Energy in 2017
RE capacity is likely to cross 55,000 MW by 2017 (17% of
total Capacity)
The current contribution of 6% in electricity mix is likely
to go up to 9% in 2017.
Wind power capacity is likely to cross 33,000 MW
Solar power capacity likely to cross 10,000 MW if targets
under JNNSM are to be achieved

20. CONCLUSION
We have to get the updated types in the power
generation of the renewable resources.
The implementation of the solar plates have to take
place in the rural areas.
Better to choose the renewable resources for the
development of the nation in the earlier stage.
