Itroduction to Non-Conventitional Energy:
Abundant and Diverse: Non-conventional energy sources are abundant and widely
distributed across the globe. Sunlight, wind, water resources, geothermal heat, and
biomass are available in varying degrees virtually everywhere, offering a diverse
range of energy options that can be tailored to specific geographical locations and
energy needs.

Solar Energy :
Introduction:
Solar energy is a renewable energy source derived from the sun's radiation. It
encompasses the utilization of sunlight to generate electricity, produce heat, and
provide lighting for various applications. Solar energy technologies harness the
radiant energy emitted by the sun and convert it into usable forms of energy
through photovoltaic (PV) cells or solar thermal systems.

Modularity and Scalability: Solar energy systems are modular and scalable,
allowing for flexibility in design and installation. They can range from small-scale,
individual rooftop solar panels for residential use to large-scale utility solar farms
with thousands of solar modules.

Wind Energy:
Wind Energy refers to the kinetic energy derived from the movement of air
masses across the Earth's surface. This renewable energy resource is harnessed
using wind turbines, which convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical
power and, subsequently, into electricity through a generator. Wind energy is a
rapidly growing source of clean and sustainable power globally, offering
numerous environmental and economic benefits.
Abundance: Wind energy is abundant and widely available, as wind currents are
generated by variations in temperature and pressure across the Earth's surface.
Wind resources can be found in various regions, both onshore and offshore,
with different wind speeds and patterns.

Scalability and Modularity: Wind energy systems are modular and scalable,
allowing for flexibility in design, installation, and capacity expansion. Wind
farms can range from small-scale community or distributed installations to
large utility-scale projects comprising hundreds of wind turbines.
Grid Integration and Energy Storage: Wind energy can be integrated into
electricity grids to meet varying demand and supply fluctuations. Grid
integration techniques such as smart grid technologies, energy forecasting, and
demand response programs help optimize wind energy utilization and ensure
grid stability. Energy storage solutions such as batteries and pumped hydro
storage can also complement wind energy by storing excess electricity for use
during periods of low wind availability.
