WHAT IS ENERGY ?

• Energy
In physics, the capacity for doing work means capacity to do any kind work g, a
person, an animal or a physical system to do work.
We need every time energy to do any kind work.

Classification of
energy based on
sources

Conventional source Non- conventional

of energy source of energy
CONVENTIONAL SOURCE OF ENERGY

• Energy which is occur from the natural resources that has been
used from ancient times , this is also a non – renewable source
of energy.
• These include coal, petroleum, natural gas and nuclear energy.
• Coal, petroleum and natural gas account for about 90% of
world’s production of commercial energy and hydroelectric
and nuclear power account for about 10%.
TYPES OF CONVENTIONAL SOURCE OF
ENERGY
Coal is the most abundant conventional
source of energy which could last for at
least 200 years.
Nuclear energy
A small amount of radioactive substance can
produce a lot of energy through the nuclear
substances all over the world.
Oil
Out of all the conventional sources of energy,
oil is used abundantly all over.
Fuel Woods
Rural people use the fuelwood for their day
to day cooking which comes from natural
forests and plantations.
Petroleum and Natural Gas
Petroleum is the mixture of hydrocarbons
like alkanes and cycloalkanes. In crude form
black liquid is known as petroleum.
Thermal energy
Power stations burn a large number of fossil
fuels to heat up water, to produce steam,
which further runs the turbine to generate
electricity. 
 AVAILABILITY

• Coal -Availability of raw coal in India

in 2012-13 stood at 704.34 MTs. Coal has
increased at a CAGR of about 6.26% during the
period from 2005-06 to 2012-13.
• Natural gas - Theproduction of natural gas
has steadily increased from a mere 31.33 BCMs
During 2005-06 to 39.78BCMs during 2012-13,
registering a CAGR of3.03%.
• Crude oil - Theavailability of crude oil in the country increased from 131.60 MTs during
2005-06 to 222.66 MTs during 2012-13 and the same year production increased from 32.19
MTs to 37.86 MTs .
• Nuclear energy -Electricity availability is considered only for that electricity which
is generated from Hydro and Nuclear sources. This increased from 592194 GWh during
2005-06 to 908574 GWh during 2012-13,registering a CAGR of 5.5% over the period.
 NON - CONVENTIONAL SOURCE OF
ENERGY

• Energy generated by using wind, solar, small hydro, tides,

geothermal heat and biomass is known a non-conventional
energy.
• All these sources are renewable process of energy generation
and do not cause environmental pollution.
• Our country has been endowed with adequate natural
resources.
 TYPES OF NON-CONVENTIONAL
SOURCES
Solar Energy
Wind energy
Solar energy is harnessed by converting solar
Wind energy describes the process by which
energy directly into electrical energy in solar
wind is used to generate electricity. 
plants.

Biomass energy
Biomass is the organic matter that originates from
plants, animals, wood, sewage. These substances
burn to produce heat energy which then generates
electricity.
Tidal energy
Tidal power is a form of hydropower that
converts the energy of tides into electricity.

Geothermal energy
Geothermal energy is the heat energy that we get
from hot rocks present in the earth’s crust.

RESERVE
 WHY DO WE NEED NON-
CONVENTIONAL ENERGY RESOURCES?
• As the consumption of energy grows, the population depends more
and more on fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas day by day.

• There is a need to secure the energy supply for future since the
prices of gas and oil keep rising by each passing day.

• So we need to use more and more renewable sources of energy.

For the effective exploitation of non-conventional sources, there
has been an establishment of a separate department namely
“Department of non-conventional sources of energy” by the
government of India.
 RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES AND
TECHNOLOGIES
• Renewable energy resources commonly used for building
applications include solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass.

• Examples of renewable energy technologies that can be

incorporated with building energy systems include:

• Solar electric, or photovoltaic (PV), systems

• Solar thermal, including solar hot water (domestic water heating and space
heating), and solar ventilation air preheating
• Geothermal heat pump
• Wind turbines
• Biomass systems.
