Renewable energy
Energy that is generated from natural
process that are continuously
replenished.

Geothermal energy
Wind Microhydal energy
Biogas energy Solar energy

(photovoltai
c effect )
Photovoltaic cell
 Photovoltaic cell energy: direct conversion of
sunlight into electricity
 Classification:
1. Commercial : used in mass production
2. Emerging : small production volumes
3. Novel: early laboratory stage
Geothermal energy
 the energy generated in the earth and
stored in the earth


Types of geothermal plants
Dry Steam Plants:
They use steam directly from
a geothermal reservoir to turn
generator turbines. The first
geothermal power plant was
built in Tuscany, Italy, where
natural steam erupted from
the earth.
. Flash Steam Plants:
They take high-pressure hot
water from deep inside the
earth and convert it to steam
to drive generator turbines.
When the steam cools, it
condenses to water and is
injected back into the ground
to be used again.

Binary Cycle Power Plants:

They transfer the heat from geothermal hot water to
another liquid. The heat causes the second liquid to turn to
steam, which is used to drive a generator turbine.
Micro hydel energy
Micro hydro is a type of hydroelectric
power that typically produces from 5 kW
to 100 kW of electricity using the natural
flow of water.
Installations below 5 Kw are pico hydro
 Types of microhydel energy

•Ultra-low head (2 ft. at low head (4-18 ft.)
to 10 ft.)
Biogas
Biogas is a gas produced via anaerobic digestion
of animal, plant, human, industrial and
municipal wastes amongst others, to give mainly
methane (50-70%), carbon dioxide (20-40%)
and traces of other gases such as nitrogen,
hydrogen, ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, water
vapour etc.
Production: hydrolysis , acidogenesis, and
methanogenesis
Technologies of biogas

ABSORPTION: PRESSURE SWING

liquid is sprayed over the ADSORPTION:
gas in a column, carbon dioxide is
and carbon dioxide gets separated using physical
absorbed by the liquid. properties

ANAEROBIC DIGESTION:
microorganisms decompose the organic
matter into biogas without the presence of
oxygen.
Wind Energy
The term ‘wind power’ and ‘wind energy’
describes the process by which the wind is
used to generate mechanical power or
electricity.
Energy mix
The energy mix is a group of different
primary energy sources from which
secondary energy for direct use - usually
electricity - is produced

Solarenergy : 0.5 %
Geothermal energy: 65%
Micro hydel energy : 31.5
Wind energy : 0.5 %
