pressure in the reservoir (Nersesian, 2010). The main benefit of geothermal energy is that there is limitless heat from the earth and it is constantly available regardless of season or climate (European Renewable Energy Council [EREC], 2010). Some disadvantages of geothermal energy are drilling deep into the earth may cause land structure instability which may lead to earthquakes in extreme cases. The lifespan of equipment in geothermal plants is limited because geothermal fluids are corrosive (Sawhney
energy is required which fulfilled by renewable energy sources. This type of energy has high yield like lower energy cost than any other method. Natural sources of renewable energy are 1. Solar 2. Wind 3. Geothermal energy 4. Biomass 5. Ocean 6. Hydropower 1. Solar energy- Sun is the main source of solar energy. Most renewable energy comes either directly or indirectly from the sun. Using sun radiation, we use solar cooker for cooking food, solar heater for heating water naturally, using solar panels
under consideration and soon will produce significant amount of electricity are also discussed. The generation capacity of Pakistan is also discussed in this research paper. The structure of all the significantly used power plant along with its advantages and drawbacks are also provided. We have also mentioned the details of generation of each power station working in Pakistan. As Pakistan is a nuclear power so it has also a capability of producing electricity from nuclear reactors which are also
thermal systems store heat from the sun that can be used for a variety of purposes through active and passive systems (Lewis & Nocera, 2006). The main advantages of solar energy are that it is clean, able to operate independently or in conjunction with traditional energy sources, and is remarkably renewable (Lewis & Nocera, 2006). The main disadvantages are that it is currently more expensive than traditional energy, and the availability of solar radiation varies from day to day, and from season to
INTRODUCTION As the country’s population growth rate increase they need to develop their economy in this power world. Energy is one of the basic ingredients required to elevate poverty and socio economic development and energy is an important development of country .today a country can only finish its economy by its power equipment’s and machineries which are working safely if the power continuity is widely available. Pakistan has been facing an unprecedent energy crisis since the last several years
