The Integration And Combined Utilization Of Renewable Energy Sources

A solar photovoltaic power system is a technology that converts the energy from sunlight into electrical energy. Residential solar photovoltaic systems can offset much of a household's power needs, depending on the size of the system and the household's needs. The output power from is directly proportional to power received from the sun, which varies throughout the day and year. The rated maximum output of the module might be achieved only occasionally, depending on actual site conditions. It is a renewable source of energy that is sustainable and totally inexhaustible. Solar energy is also a non-polluting source of energy that doesn’t emit any greenhouse gases when producing electricity.

Solar energy is defined as the transformation of the sun’s rays into useful forms of energy, for instance, electricity and heat. The capacity of solar radiation a place receives depends on a variety of factors such as geographic location, time of day, season, and local weather. According to Knier (n.d.) photo voltaic and concentrating solar power cells are the two forms of sources to produce electricity. Photo voltaic cells generate electricity directly using solar cells and concentrated solar power cells generate electricity using steam. According to The World Bank - for the past three years, India has taken a enormous step in forwarding and in implementing the green growth agenda by producing 2,000 MW of solar power at the world’s cheap tariff. Solar power is likely to reduce India’s usage of imports of diesel and coal. A number of measurements are probably taking to generate 20,000 MW of solar power in future by 2022. The Solar industry is likely to create 200-400 jobs in the industries like research, development and installation, for every 10 MW of solar power generated. Hence, the government of India had taken enormous steps to increase the productivity of the solar energy. This research report will discuss the effectiveness and the limitations of solar power in India

All the power used in the building is generated from the windmill and photovoltaic sources. The roofing of the building comprises of a 27 kW array with three types of solar panels. To ensure zero interruption of electrical energy to the facility, a hybrid backup battery system has been incorporated.

The class project for Sustainable Energy is to design a stand-alone power system for a single-family house. The stand-alone power system can either be a photovoltaic (PV) or a fuel cell combined heat and power (CHP) unit. Without connecting to the power grid either of these units will have to supply the 2,500 square foot home with both heat and electricity. In order to properly select the size of the system needed; numerous parameters need to be considered and evaluated. With these values it is then possible to determine

The Distributed is electrical power generation in small scale (usually 1MW to 50MW) near the load centre using either conventional techniques such as Diesel generators and micro turbines or using non-conventional techniques such as Photo-Voltaic, wind turbines and small hydro power. This modern concept of power system is very advantageous as it reduces the load on the grid, consumers get a reliable power of better quality, and consumers can supply surplus power to the grid and earn a considerable profit. Thus, adopting this modern concept of power system is not only beneficial for consumers but also to the utilities.

Optimum use of renewable source of energy like Wind can be considered as one of the answer to rapid increase in the demand of energy worldwide. Using the current technological advancements it is commercially viable to use the wind power as a source of energy for small scale to large scale industry.All kind of renewable source are highly dependent on environmental conditions and can not be controlled fully. Due to this inherent characteristics, power generation may vary. In the

Our approach was to do an economic viability analysis of a home’s electrical energy consumption with solar and with wind as 100% alternatives with the given assumptions. We also used utility bill cost from an actual resident of Chaparral Drive to use as a comparison for our analysis.

Hybrid means combination of two or more than two. A device that combines a silicon solar cell with a triboelectric generator that can harvest wind energy is known as Hybrid Power System. Basically these devices are powered by the renewable energy sources like sun and wind. . Solar energy enters from the rooftops and fom the windows. However, a large amount of wind still gets wasted in cities—normal wind turbines are not suited to urban areas because of their size.

Throughout the 20th and 21st century, our knowledge about the environment and energy has steadily grown, as well as our dependence on them. Nowadays, power and electricity are in every facet of our daily lives. Due to this, we overlook several negative effects our traditional use of fossil fuels have caused. Fossil fuels are fuel deposits that were formed hundreds of millions of years ago, which is where the term fossil fuels come from. The two most common fossil fuels currently in use are coal and oil, which power the majority of our infrastructure. However, fossil fuels are known to have some drawbacks which is where projects for alternative energy come into play. Alternative energy, or also known as renewable energy are energy sources

The renewable sources of energy listed above have some advantages. They are naturally occurring and thus do not require much effort to harness. Besides, they are natural components of the environment whose use does not contribute to environmental pollution (Tiwari et al., 2012). The fact that they are never depleted also guarantees users who have installed the necessary harnessing machinery, of a continuous supply of energy. Despite these advantages, however, there also exist some demerits. Much as these sources are

In recent years with growing concerns over carbon emission and uncertainties in fossil fuel supplies, there is an increasing interest in clean and renewable electrical energy generation. Among various renewable

While the majority of the world power supply by fossil fuels, such as oil, coal and natural gas, these traditional energy now are facing a number of challenges including the pollutions, rising prices and the limitation of fuel supplies. As a result of these challenges, the alternative renewable power source has been chosen. The reason why solar power becomes a trendy source is that the solar power not only renewable but also has technology development in the future. However, it still has several problems to use this energy generally. This essay will show the limitations of using the solar power system, which including weather dependent, space requirement and the high cost. These drawbacks can be minimized in three ways: Firstly, by using the new innovation which can reduce the effect of weather changing. Secondly, by using the PV system to reduce the space required. Finally, people can apply for the government scheme to release the financial pressures from installing domestic solar systems.

Wind energy is found in abundant & is free. Moreover, this renewable resource is pollution & noise free. However, harvesting this energy to produce electricity & to be able to use it directly in our homes or public places is restricted due to many reasons. Bigger size, less cost-efficient, lower overall efficiency, non-uniformity in wind etc are some of the reasons that such systems are not being installed in residential or urban areas. Our project will focus on studying variety of such stand-alone wind-power systems & proposing such systems which are suitable to our environment. Design of our project will be different from the existing traditional windmills & its exterior architectural beauty will be enhanced.

The grid extension costs are primarily distance dependent and thus the investment cost increases whenever the site, which is to be electrified from the main grid system, is further away. However, the investment cost of PV Hybrid systems are mainly dependent on the generation capacity of the source which in turn is related to the demand by the customers. Thus, for a small demand, a small investment is needed and for a large demand, a larger investment is needed.
