AKTU The Government of India has released its roadmap to 175 GW capacity in renewable energy by 2022, which includes 100 GW of solar power and 60 GW of wind power. The Union Government of India is preparing a ‘rent a roof” pol for supporting its target of generating 40 Gigawatts (GW) of poy through solar rooftop projects by 2022. What are renewable and non-renewable energy sources ? [ARTU 2016-17, Mari] Renewable resources : Renewable resources are replenished naturally and over relatively short periods of time, Example : Solar, wind, water (hydro), biomass, and geothermal, ete. Non-renewable resource: A non-renewable resource is a natural substance that is not replenished with the speed at which it is consumed. It isa finite resource. Example : Coal, nuclear, oil, and natural gas etc, What do you mean by power theft ? Power theft is the practice of stegling electrical power st es What are the harmonics in power system ?

It is clean, sustainable and environment friendly. High temperatures are produced continuously inside the earth's crust by the slow delay of radioactive particles. ii, Hot rocks present below the earth heats up the water that produces steam. The steam is then captured that helps to move turbines. The rotating turbines then power the generator. 113. What is biomass energy ? i. Biomass energy is produced from organic material and is commonly used throughout the world. Chlorophyll present in plants captures the sun’s energy by converting carbon dioxide from the air and water from the ground into carbohydrates through the process of hi thesis. Whos the pleat are burned, the water and carbon dioxide is again ii, When the plants a released back into the atmosphere. Biomass energy is used for heating and cooking in homes and as a fuel in industri 114. Name various demand and supply sectors in India. Ana, A.
