PART-A PLAN
1.0 Brief Introduction

What is Renewable Energy Source?

A renewable energy source means energy that is sustainable - something that can't run out, or is endless,
like the sun. When you hear the term 'alternative energy' it's usually referring to renewable energy sources too. It means
sources of energy that are alternative to the most commonly used non-sustainable sources - like coal.
The most popular renewable energy sources currently are:

1.Solar energy
2.Wind energy
3. Hydro Energy
4.Geothermal energy
5.Biomass energy

PART-BOUTCOME

1.0 Brief Description

Renewable energy is energy derived from natural sources that are replenished at a higher rate than they
are consumed. Sunlight and wind, for example, are such sources that are constantly being replenished.
Renewable energy sources are plentiful and all around us. Fossil fuels - coal, oil and gas - on the other
hand, are non-renewable resources that take hundreds of millions of years to form. Fossil fuels, when
burned to produce energy, cause harmful greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide.

Generating renewable energy creates far lower emissions than burning fossil fuels. Transitioning from
fossil fuels, which currently account for the lion’s share of emissions, to renewable energy is key to
addressing the climate crisis. Renewables are now cheaper in most countries, and generate three times
more jobs than fossil fuels

Solar Energy:

Solar power is clean green electricity sourced from sunlight. Or in some cases, from heat from the
sun. Installing solar power systems in a residential setting generally means setting up a solar
photovoltaic or a solar thermal system on the roof. Definition of photovoltaic: Photo = “light” and
photons = energy particles coming from sunlight; voltaic = producing a voltage or volts. Abbreviation
= PVSolar energy is a renewable free source of energy that is sustainable and totally inexhaustible,
unlike fossil fuels that are finite. It is also a non-polluting source of energy and it does not emit any
greenhouse gases when producing electricity. Solar electricity can supplement your entire or partial
energy consumption. Using solar power means reducing your energy bills and saving money. Low
maintenance and unobtrusive, installing solar panels adds value to your home.

Benefits
One of the benefits of solar energy is that sunlight is functionally endless. With the technology to
harvest it, there is a limitless supply of solar energy, meaning it could render fossil fuels obsolete.
Relying on solar energy rather than fossil fuels also helps us improve public health and environmental
conditions. In the long term, solar energy could also eliminate energy costs, and in the short term,
reduce your energy bills. Many federal local, state, and federal governments also incentivize the
investment in solar energy by providing rebates or tax credits.

Wind Energy:

Wind power involves converting wind energy into electricity by using wind turbines. The wind comes from
atmospheric changes. These include changes in temperature and pressure which make the air move around the surface
of the earth. A wind turbine captures the wind to produce energy. Wind power is a clean energy source that can be
relied on for the longterm future. A wind turbine creates reliable, cost-effective, pollution free energy. It is affordable,
clean and sustainable. One wind turbine can be sufficient to generate enough electrical energy for a household,
assuming the location is suitable. Because it is a renewable resource which is nonpolluting and renewable, wind
turbines create power without using fossil fuels, without producing greenhouse gases or radioactive or toxic waste.
Wind power is one of the best ways to combat global warming.

Benefits
Wind energy is a clean energy source, which means that it doesn’t pollute the air like other forms of energy. Wind
energy doesn’t produce carbon dioxide, or release any harmful products that can cause environmental degradation or
negatively affect human health like smog, acid rain, or other heat-trapping gases.
Investment in wind energy technology can also open up new avenues for jobs and job training, as the turbines on farms
need to be serviced and maintained to keep running.

Hydro Energy:

Hydro power generates power by utilizing the energy of water falling from a higher position to a lower position. One of
these hydro power generation systems is a "pumped-storage system" , which pumps up water from a lower reservoir to
a higher reservoir during off-peak hours and generates power by dropping water from the higher reservoir to the lower
reservoir during peak hours. We manufacture an entire generation system for these power plants. Since hydro power
emits a minimal amount of CO2, which is known to be a cause of environmental pollution and global warming.
Effective use of hydro power is being revalued throughout the world these days.

Benefits
Hydroelectric power is very versatile and can be generated using both large scale projects, like the Hoover Dam, and
small scale projects like underwater turbines and lower dams on small rivers and streams. Hydroelectric powerdoes not
generate pollution, and therefore is a much more environmentally-friendly energy option for our environment.

Geothermal Energy:

Geothermal energy is power derived from the heat from the Earth. This can be sources such as the shallow ground to hot
water and hot rock found a few kilometers beneath the Earth’s surface. It may go down even deeper to the extremely high
temperatures of underground molten rock called magma. We usually only see this when it erupts to the surface in the
form of lava.

Benefits
Geothermal energy is not as common as other types of renewable energy sources, but it has a significant potential for
energy supply. Since it can be built underground, it leaves very little footprint on land. Geothermal energy is naturally
replenished and therefore does not run a risk of depleting (on a human timescale).

Biomass Energy:
‘

Biomass is an energy source derived from organic material such as animal or plant matter
and it is growing in popularity. Proponents increasingly favor biomass use over fossil fuels
due to the low levels of carbon emitted when the material is burned, and see it as the
answer to fighting climate change.
However, though it is classed as renewable, questions have been raised over just how green it
really is, with fears that its predominant reliance on felling and burning trees as a replacement
for fossil fuels could do more harm than good.
Benefits
The use of biomass in energy production creates carbon dioxide that is put into the air, but the
regeneration of plants consumes the same amount of carbon dioxide, which is said to create a
balanced atmosphere. Biomass can be used in a number of different ways in our daily lives,
not only for personal use, but businesses as well. In 2017, energy from biomass made up
about 5% of the total energy used in the U.S. This energy came from wood, biofuels like
ethanol, and energy generated from methane captured from landfills or by burning municipal
waste.

Tidal energy:
Tidal power harnesses the energy from the tidal force and wave action in order to generate electricity.
Unlike other primary energy flows, it is a predictable source of energy because tides occur at expected
times. This predictability has an advantage over wind and solar power since the sun may or may not
shine on a particular day and the wind doesn't always blow the expected amount. Tidal power is still
not a dispatch able source of electricity as it is available when nature provides it, not necessarily when
it is needed. Tidal power is not a widely used energy resource at the moment because its costs
outweigh the advantages. Previously only very specialized locations were able to support these
technologies. However, recent improvements are making tidal power much more cost effective and
adaptable to a wider range of locations. If support for tidal power continues to increase the industry
will likely grow.

Benefits
Unlike other forms of renewable energy, wave energy is predictable and it’s easy to estimate the
amount of energy that will be produced. Instead of relying on varying factors, such as sun and wind,
wave energy is much more consistent. This type of renewable energy is also abundant, the most
populated cities tend to be near oceans and harbors, making it easier to harness this energy for the
local population.
