2. RENEWABLE ENERGY
Energy that comes from the
sources which are continous
replenished such as sunlight ,
wind, rain, tides, waves and
geothermal energy.
About 16% of global energy comes
from renewable resources.
10% of all energy from traditional
biomass
3.4% - hydroelectricity
3% - new renewables
4. Renewable energy replaces
four distinct areasElectricity generation
Hot water/space heating
Motor fuels
Rural energy services
5. HISTORY OF RENEWABLE
ENERGY
Prior to the development of coal in the
mid 19th century nearly all energy was
renewable.
By 1873, concerns of running out of coal
promoted experiments using Solar energy.
Development of Solar engines continued
untill the outbreak of World War 1st.
In the 1970’s enviromentalist promoted
the development of renewable energy for
replacement of oil and decreasing
dependence on oil leading to the first
electricity generating Wind Turbine.
6. HISTORY OF RENEWABLE
ENERGY IN INDIA
1970’s energy crisis led to the
establishment of the COMISSION FOR
ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF
ENERGY(CASE) in the Department of
Science and Technology in Mach 1981.
In 1982, a new department was created in
the Ministry of Energy i.e. Department of
Non-conventional Energy Sources(DNES).
A decade later in 1992, DNES became
Ministry of Non-conventional Energy
Sources(MNES) and in October 2006 it
gained its current name as Ministry of
New and Renewable Energy.

RENEWABLE
TECHNOLOGIES
WIND ENERGY
HYDROPOWER
SOLAR ENERGY
BIOMASS ENERGY
GEOTHERMAL
ENERGY
WIND ENERGY
Air flow can be used to run
turbines.
Wind turbines range from
600kW to 5 MW.
Turbines of 1.5-3MW are most
common.
Areas where winds are
stronger are more constant.
Long term technical potential
of wind energy Is believed to
be total 5 times current global
energy production.
8.
HYDROPOWER
Energy in water can be
harnessed and used.
Since water is 800 times
denser than air even a slow
flowing stream of water can
yield considerable amount
of energy.
Micro – hydro systems
produce 100kW of energy.
Run of the river
hydroelectricity systems
derive kinetic from rivers
and oceans without creation
of a large reservoir.
9. SOLAR
ENERGY
Energy from the Sun in the
form of Solar radiations for
heat or to generate electricity.
Solar powered electricity
generation uses either
photovolatics or heat engines.
Other solar applications
include space heating and
cooling through solar
architecture, day lighting, solar
hot water, solar cooking and
high temperature process
10. BIOMASS
ENERGY
Through the process of
photosynthesis plants
capture the solar energy.
When the plants are burnt
they release this energy.
Thus biomass functions
as a natural battery for
storing solar energy.
The largest source of
biomass is Peat which is
classified as slow
renewable fuel by IPCC.
11. GEOTHERMAL
ENERGY
It is the energy generated
and stored in the Earth.
Thermal energy is the
energy that determines the
temperature of matter.
Earth’s geothermal energy
originates from the original
formation of planet and
from radioactive decay of
minerals.
From hot springs
geothermal energy is used
for electricity generation.

15. INDIA’s RENEWABLE ENERGY
FUTURE PROSPECTS
India stands among top 5 countries in the world
in terms of renewable energy.
The installed base is 9% of total power
generation capacity & contributes 3% to the
electricity mix.
The National Action Plan on Climate Change in
June 2008 identified Solar energy development.
In Nov 2009 the GoI approved National Solar
Mission which aims to enable 20,000 MW to be
dployed in India by 2022.
India occupies 5th position in the World in Wind
Energy, hydro projects upto 25 MW capacity
16. INDIA’s RENEWABLE ENERGY
CHALLENGES
To reduce per unit cost of renewable
energy.
Increase efficiency.
Harness lower wind speeds.
Challenge the energy of tides and
waves to produce energy.
Use of larger grids with lower losses
of electricity.
Use of hydrogen as an energy storage
or carrier.
18. WIND ENERGY
The Ministry of New and Renewable
energy has fixed a target of 10500MW
between 2007-12, but an additional
generation capacity of only about
6000MW might be available for
commercial use by 2013.
MNRE has announced a revised
estimation of the potential wind
resource in India from 49130MW at
50m Hub height to 102788MW at 80m
hub height.
19. HYDRO-POWER
The National Energy Policy aims at
–
Per capital electricity availability of
1000units
Installed capacity over 200,000MW
Inter-regional transmission
capacity of 37000MW
Spinning reserve of 5%
Quality and reliable power.
20. THERMAL ENERGY
Improve performance of
underpowering thermal power
stations.
To add 78700MW during 11th &
94431MW during the 12th five year
plan.
Improve the performance and
efficiency of coal based thermal
plants.
Save fuel and reduce enviromental
impacts.
21. TIDAL ENERGY
Gulf of Kutch Tidal power plant is
strongly pushed for construction
by the western Gujrat at the Gulf of
cambay.
India has a good potential for tidal
power generation in
sundarbans,WB.
The country’s 1st tidal plant has
been proposed to be set up in
Durgaduani creek of Sundarbans.
22. CONCLUSION
There is an urgent need for transition from
petrolium based energy system to one
based on renewable resources to decrease
reliance on depleting reserve e of fossil
fuels and to mitigate climate change.
It has potential to create employment
opportunities especially at all levels
especially at rural level.
An emphasis on presenting the real picture
of massive renewable energy potential, it
would be possible to attract foreign
investments to herald a Green Energy
Revolution in India.
