INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
The demand of the electricity is increase day by day due to the energy crisis and also widely increases because of increasing the population and development in customary of living, particularly in developing country like India. Although in our world there are many remote areas in which large population living but has no access of electricity. In year 2013 approximately 1.5 billion people around the world did not had the access of electricity. Due to the global warming and environment pollution there is a reduction in the fossil fuels, to overcome this problem the renewable energy resources are play an important role to increase the demand of electricity. Also fossil fuels are reducing very quickly, so there are critical essential for the world to change to renewable sources of energy which can be recycled again and again. The renewable energy resources are those resources which are free of pollution and free of cost and can be used again and again. The renewable energy resources are the natural energy resources namely sunlight, wind energy, tidal energy, small hydro power, rain, geothermal, and biomass energy are included in distributed energy resources (DERs) .Due to the advantage of the non-polluting, the renewable energy resources are used as a

Solar energy is a limitless energy resource. The sun harvests huge quantities of renewable solar energy that can be collected and transformed into heat and electricity. Solar energy is the most abundant of all energy resources. Definitely, the rate at which solar energy is diverted by the Earth is about ten thousand times greater than the rate at which humankind consumes energy. Whereas not all countries are equally endowed with solar energy, a significant contribution to the energy mix from direct solar energy is possible for almost every country
Renewable energy contains nearly zero pollution. It’s generates electricity from sustainable sources like wind, solar, and geothermal power with no pollution or global warming emissions. That’s some ways we can fix the problem of climate changing. By eliminating the use of fossil fuels, and by using clean energy sources. One of the worst energy sources we use is coal.
3-20-18, Marcus Ragland, @02778104 Energy Subsidies in the United States Energy subsidies are dollars or benefits paid to industries or businesses as a profit for them to keep operating. They are not meant to provide the whole cost to operate respective companies. In the United States, these subsidies are used in multiple ways for multiple purposes. One being to promote moving towards a more routine use of renewable energy sources, optimistically having renewable energy sources as the ordinary in the United States. Types of energy subsidies include direct transfers, preferable tax treatment, energy-related assistance, and more.
According to the Renewable Energy Policy Network, governments are increasingly enacting RE policies in different countries to address climate change among other issues (2010). For example, countries with a renewable energy target to fight climate change almost doubled from 2005 to 2010 (REN21, 2010). Thus, 13.2 is being put into motion, where countries around the world are looking to forms of renewable energy to address climate change issues among various other environmental
Due to these issues, renewable resources should become our primary source of energy. First, there are many issues with the energies sources we use now, but one of the major ones is that nonrenewable resources cannot replenish fast enough to replace what is being consumed. Energies made from fossils are the most common types of nonrenewable resource. Specifically, the three main types of fossil fuels are coal, natural gas, and oil.
Back then, if someone said that the world could be powered only by the sun, they would be mocked by their peers. However, this is not the case anymore. Solar power has been increasing exponentially in the past few years as industries begin to focus on it. Many countries still focus on using fossil fuels as their main source of energy, such as the United States. But what will happen when fossil fuels begin to dwindle?
You may think that solar energy isn’t enough but we can use it with other clean energy. It is a wise choice to use solar energy because solar energy is renewable and abundant, it is environmentally friendly, and it is also available around the world. Solar is the most abundant energy resource on Earth. In Taiwan, a three-story building with solar panels can produce three to four families’ electricity.
1. Thesis Title Nuclear energy: it's efficiency sufficient to justify danger? 2. Thesis Description Thesis statement: Although nuclear energy has been proposed as a solution for our energy requirements it is not reliable because of issues regarding safety, nuclear waste storage. It is possible in a medium-long period of time to replace it with renewable energies.
Scientists have found that renewable energy is a path towards the future for a clean and safe environment. Throughout all the studies and findings, there is a continuing fret whether people should be able to use a traditional way of energy or renewable energy, solar power. Solar energy is seen to be effective since there has progressively been more places that are benefiting from solar usage; however there are also some who disagree. Solar energy sources are derived from natural sources and is implicated throughout our daily lives. From the lights in the streets to the computers we use at home.
“Renewable energy resources that is naturally regenerated over a short time scale and derived directly from the sun, indirectly from the sun or from other natural movement and mechanisms of the environment. Renewable energy does not include energy resources derived from fossil fuels, waste product from fossil sources, or waste products from inorganic sources.” There are a few types of renewable energy sources. 1) Wind Energy 2) Biomass 3)
Fossil fuels Fossil fuels are NOT a renewable energy resource it will finish up one day As once we 've burned them all, there isn 't any more, and our consumption of fossil fuels has nearly doubled every 20 years since 1900. This is a particular problem for Oil, because we also use it to make plastics and many other products Coal, Oil and Gas are called "fossil fuels" because they have been formed from the fossilized remains of prehistoric plants and animals.
INTRODUCTION A smart grid is a power network which is based on digital technology is used to supply power, via two-way digital communications. A smart grid system allows for monitoring, analysis, control and communication within the supply chain and helps improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption and cost, and maximize the transparency and reliability of the energy supply chain. The smart grid was introduced with the aim of overcoming the weaknesses of conventional electrical grids by using smart meters.
For many years now, it has been debated which of the new and upcoming renewable and sustainable energy sources if the best to use. Energy create from wind, is a very favourable contented in this debate as it is a very good alternative energy source. Wind energy is used all around the world. Humanity has been using wind energy for over 100 years. For example, we used to (some still do) use the wind energy to grind grain in old fashioned wind mills..
2.1 INTRODUCTION Non-Renewable Resources are resources that have the potential to be used up due to consumption or overuse, they have production, development or replenishment rate that cannot match up with the depletion rate. In short these are resources that can be finished, output exceeds input, and they are infinite. Non-Renewable resources vary from non-renewable fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil, non-renewable alternative energy sources like nuclear energy and deep-earth geo-thermal energy, soil, and minerals (Botkin & Keller, 2012). These non-renewable resources range from a few years, up to thousands of years to replenish. The local as well as global challenge, is that most non-renewable resources are directly exploited by humans and their existence is widely threatened were usage
Green growth and green economy have been subject to various definitions but those currently being used by international organizations have a lot in common. Greening growth (GG) and moving towards a greener economy (GE) is complex and multidimensional. Green growth is a matter of both economic policy and sustainable development policy. It tackles two key imperatives together: the continued inclusive economic growth needed by developing countries to reduce poverty and improve wellbeing; and improved environmental management needed to tackle resource scarcities and climate change. The concept of green economy rests on the economy, the environment and the social pillars of sustainable development.
Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that comes from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. It is the energy which is abundant in nature. The sun is the ultimate source of energy. Almost all the energy that we use eventually comes from the Sun. The exception is the heat of radioactivity deep inside the Earth, which is ultimately responsible for processes taking place inside the Earth.
