3. What is renewable Energy?
 Renewable energy is energy that is collected from
renewable resources, which are naturally replenished
on a human timescale.
SOURCES OF RENEWABLE ENERGY
 Solar
 Wind
 Ocean- tides, waves
 Hydropower
 Biomass
 Geothermal resources
 Biofuels

4. displaces conventional fuels in electricity
generation, hot water/space heating,
transportation, and rural (off-grid) energy
services.
 Mainstream technologies are wind power,
hydropower, solar energy, geothermal
energy, bio energy and energy storage.

5. Need of renewable sector
Energy is a prime source of economic, social and
industrial development of country.
World energy consumption increases day by day
Still 70% of world electric generation depend
upon thermal generation
There is lots of social and economical issues with
conventional plant
World economic is locking for sustainable
development in field of power sector

6. Energy sector in India: a challenge
One of the fastest under developing country
11th largest economy
Its population
Approx. 65% electricity depends upon coal
3rd largest producer of electricity
4th largest in purchasing power
Supply and demand is rising day by day
Need to change the electricity generation pattern

7. Renewable energy in India
 Renewable energy (including large hydro) accounted for more
than 33% of the total installed power capacity
 India was the first country in the world to set up a ministry of
non-conventional energy resources, in the early 1980s
 Renewable energy in India comes under the purview of the
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)
 Solar Energy Corporation of India is responsible for the
development of solar energy
 Hydroelectricity is administered separately by the Ministry of
Power

10. Indian Wind Energy Sector
CURRENT SCENERIO
 fourth largest installed wind power capacity in the
world
 total installed wind power capacity was 34.293 GW
 the levelised tariff of wind power reached a record
low of ₹2.43 per kWh
 Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka and
Rajasthan are the leaders in wind capacity

11. STATE TOTAL CAPACITY
(MW)
Tamil Nadu 8,197
Gujarat 5,613
Maharashtra 4,784
Karnataka 4,509
Rajasthan 4,298
Andhra Pradesh 3,963

On the basis of Wind
Turbine
On the basis of type of
generator
On the basis of operation

12. Indian Solar Energy Sector
CURRENT SCENARIO
 fast developing industry
 capacity reached more than 23 GW
 the average current price of solar electricity dropping to 18% below
the average price of its coal-fired counterpart
 India expanded its solar-generation capacity 8 times from 2,650
MW on 26 May 2014 to over 20 GW as on 31 January 2018
 Telangana, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, T.N, Karnataka are the
leaders in wind capacity
 With about 300 clear and sunny days in a year, the calculated solar
energy incidence on India's land area is about 5000 trillion kWh per
year

Key Drivers:
 Huge potential of Solar energy
development
 Low Operating costs
 Capital subsidy (20/25%) by gov.
for large semi-conductor based
units
 Possibility of locally development

14. Indian Hydropower Sector
 7th largest producer of hydroelectric power
 installed utility scale hydroelectric capacity is 45,403 MW
(13.5%)
 smaller hydroelectric power units with a total capacity of
4,486 MW (1.3%)
 The first hydro-electric power plants at Darjeeling (1898) and
Shivanasamudram (1902) were established
 56 sites for pumped storage schemes with an aggregate
installed capacity of 94,000 MW have also been identified
 The public sector accounts for 92.5% of India's hydroelectric
power production

15. Indian Bio-power Sector
 India is an ideal environment for Biomass production given its
tropical location and abundant sunshine and rains
 India has a installed capacity of Bio-gas and waste to power
energy as 8839 MW with a target to produce 10,000 MW by
2022
