1.1 Why Renewable Energy?
Electricity is necessity for day to day in our life. There are two ways of electricity generation either by non-conventional or conventional energy sources. Present day’s electrical energy is produced by the conventional energy resources like coal, diesel, and nuclear energy etc. The main drawback of these energy sources are it produce waste material like ash in thermal power station, nuclear radiation waste in nuclear power station and taking care of this wastage is very expensive and dangerous to the environment. This nuclear radiation waste is also very harmful to human being. The conventional energy resources are reducing day by day. Soon it will be completely dissolves from the earth so we have to search

There are many non-conventional energy resources like solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, etc. the tidal energy has drawbacks like it can only enforced on sea shores. While geothermal energy needs very lager step to extract heat from earth. Solar and wind are easily available in all condition. The non-conventional energy resources like solar, wind can be good alternative sources and they are reliable, pollution free and economical. Why renewable energy for India, because of the following the …show more content…
The sun forms its energy through thermonuclear reactions that converts hydrogen to helium. This process creates electromagnetic radiation and heat energy. The electromagnetic radiation (in addition to infra-red light, visible light and ultra-violet radiation) streams out into space in all directions. The sun is a primary source of unlimited energy, most of which is wasted but produces us with hundreds of megawatts of power, keeps us pleasant and grows all our feed. Every day the sun showers earth with several million times as much energy as we used. To top it off, solar energy is safe, pollution-free power on and in which living things have bloomed since they first arose on earth. The history of solar energy is as old as humankind. In the last two centuries, we started using Sun's energy directly to produce electricity. In 1838, French scientist Alexandre Becquerel Edmond discovered that particular material produced little amount of electric current when exposed to light. It was not until 1946 that the photovoltaic cells (PV Cells) were patented by Sven Ason Berglund. 1954 has been stated the modern age of solar technology. This happened when the Bell Laboratories, while experimenting with semiconductors, discovered that the use of silicon could be more effective. It was a complete development, silicon set to function with certain impurities was actually extremely sensitive to light. In the 1954 the development of the Bell
Over 20 percent of the energy in the United States comes from nuclear energy power plants. (Rinkesh, 2018) They so their best to get as much energy to the country as possible, but there are those out there who don’t agree with them. While there are downsides to nuclear energy, the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Nuclear power plants are a great way to get energy because they don’t let out much pollution, are very efficient, and are very safe.
Nuclear energy has numerous world benefits that other forms of energy creation just don’t, and its pros are truly unprecedented by any other source of energy. Nuclear power plants are inexpensive to run, which means they can easily be maintained and sustained at a low cost. And while the reactors themselves may be expensive, with government grants the materials can be much more easily purchased and built. The most expensive part of the nuclear reactor process is the uranium, which again, isn’t hard to get as it’s used in few other applications and can be acquired through government programs. Additionally, the energy emitted from these power plants compared to their cost is immense and an extremely worthwhile investment for governments and private businesses.
The energy that comes from solar radiation, as well as heat transfer, create energy which in turn creates temperature. Chapter 3- Temperature : All The temperatures around the world occur because of many reasons.
In today 's society almost everything that we use in our everyday lives requires some kind of energy source. With our reliance on these sources growing exponentially we have started to become more dependent on other countries to supply our fuel. With this dependence countries debt continues to grow and this has a very negative effect on the country 's economy. Energy can be split into two main groups renewable and nonrenewable. The difference between these two is the fact that one we cannot exhaust and the other we only have a limited supply of.
“Nuclear power will help provide the electricity that our growing economy needs without increasing emissions. This is truly an environmentally responsible source of energy.” Michael Burgess Prior to the introduction of nuclear energy, fossil fuel was thought to be the only available source in producing energy. Although fossil fuel, such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas, contains high energy value, it produces too many harmful byproducts that ultimately pollute our environment. With the rising concerns over global warming as more and more greenhouse gases accumulate in our Earth’s atmosphere, many voice such opinions that new alternative, yet sustainable method must be adopted to produce energy.
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.
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.
The potential is limitless, and it should be realized as they have low greenhouse gas emissions, are efficient, powerful, cheap and reliable. Positives outweigh the negatives, and we should keep on using nuclear energy. Firstly, nuclear power generation has low greenhouse gas emissions, which make it good for the environment. The actual fission
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.
Hydropower 4) Geothermal 5) Solar All electricity sources, renewable and nonrenewable, have advantages and deficiencies. Factors are includes: • Maintenance cost • Feasibility analysis. • Initial cost.
Very large amounts of electricity can be generated in one place using coal, fairly cheaply. Transporting oil and gas to the power stations is easy. Gas-fired power stations are very efficient. A fossil-fuelled power station can be built almost anywhere o Disadvantages of Using Fossil Fuels Basically, the main drawback of fossil fuels is pollution.
If its a cloudy day you can’t use solar power to heat up to make energy. As you can see its very inconsistent and unpredictable. It also takes more money to build these places non-fossil fuel plants rather than the traditional ones. What are some of the energy sources we use today The typical energy that a normal residents uses is electricity and natural gas.
Another major challenge in the exploitation of non-renewable resources is that they have negative environmental, social and economic impacts that have far reaching implications ranging from climate change to loss of biodiversity. 2.2 NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES Non-renewable energy resources can
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.
