SOURCES OF ENERGY

CONVENTIONAL ENRGY SOURCES (FUELS)

NON-CONVENTIONAL ENRGY SOURCES

SOLID- Coal, coke, coke anthracite etc.

LIQUIDS- Petroleum and its derivatives

GASES- Natural gas, Blast furnace gas etc.

Solar energy.

Nuclear energy.

Energy stored in water.

Wind energy.

Tidal energy.

Geothermal energy.

Thermoelectric power.

Sun as the source of energy

The fusion reaction in which four hydrogen atoms combine to form a one helium atom; the mass of the helium nucleus is less then that of four protons, some mass having been lost in reaction and converted to energy.

4H=1He+energy

Application of solar energy

Solar water heatingSolar air heatingSolar crop and timber dryingSolar water distillationSolar cookingSolar passive and active heating of buildingsSolar refrigeration and air conditioningSolar power generationSolar electricity generation by solar cell etc.

Way forward for solar power manufacturer in India

Market analysis India had an installed solar power capacity of 1700 MW in 2007

which amounted to roughly 1% of its total power generation of 130,000 MW.

India is currently ranked 7th in the world in Solar PV cell production

• OpportunitiesThe major role players for the production of solar energy in India are:

Tata BP Solar Moser Baer Central Electronics Ltd. SELCO BHEL etc.

India – A long race in solar power

India is a tropical country rich in sunlight, solar energy offers the most practicable solution to overcoming growing energy demand. The daily average solar energy incident over India varies from 4-7 kWh per square meter, depending upon the location.

India still is not among the world's top 10 solar energy generators.

India the only country in the world with an independent Ministry for renewable energy, known as the Ministry of New and

Renewable Energy [MNRE].TATA-BP Solar (a joint venture between the TATA group and BP Solar) announced that it is setting up a 5 MW project.Rajasthan, West Bengal, Punjab, Haryana, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka governments also submitted the solar energy projects of more than 2500MW.

Largest solar energy plant of India

Situated in madhopur, near Bhuj (Gujarat).

It will be able to producing 5GW of power.

It will cost about $475 million to construct.

At present world’s largest solar array is able to produce 900 MW.
