Solar Energy The abrupt increase in the energy prices has caused many countries to take into consideration alternative fuel sources which are not only cheap but also sustainable. However, there are many options available as an alternative to fuel sources like solar, wind and hydro-power. The most useful and easily available source is Solar Energy. Nowadays people know how to get and utilize solar power to perform daily life tasks like lighting, heating, cooking and for some other household jobs
Introduction Energy is the lifeline of all life on the earth. Adequate generation and distribution of energy are the main prerequisites for the growth of developing countries like India. As utilization of energy has become an integral part of our life, its supply should be secure and sustainable. Moreover, the energy production technologies should be socially acceptable, non-polluting and more importantly, cost-effective. But, the current trend in energy consumption is neither secure nor sustainable
Fossil fuel is the energy source that we had use for about 200 years, and it is running out“ Fossil fuel will be gone by 2052” Can you imagine what will happen if the world ran out of fossil fuel? No more electricity, no more cars, groping in the dark trying to go to find your things. Without the fossil fuel we will go back to Middle ages. Even if the fossil fuel is not running out, people in the world shouldn’t keep using fossil fuel, because the climate is seriously impacted by the carbon dioxide(CO2)
Questions 1. What are some advantages and disadvantages of OIL and SOLAR energy sources? The advantages of oil and solar energy sources are how concentrated they are, availability, safety, and versatility. While the disadvantages are hazard potential, environmental damage, and cost. 2. What is per capita energy use and what is total energy use for a country and how do these differ? For a country, per capita energy use relates to the average energy per person and total energy use relates to 3. Why is
Renewable Energy Faldu Smeet (16PGCL005) Renewable energy is energy which is generated from natural process and are continuously available. This includes sunlight, geothermal heat, wind, tides, water and biomasses. Renewable energy can be called as a green energy like as an example of sunlight, which is used for electricity, cooking purposes and it has variety of uses in industry as well as commercial. Renewable energy is money saving because it’s like one-time investment. To build stronger economy
The sun has produced energy for billions of years. Its emits about 3.86 x 1026 watts of energy; 1.74 x 1017 watts of it strikes the earth. Solar energy is the sun's rays that reach the earth. This energy can be converted into heat and electricity. Solar panels are large flat panels and made with lots of individual solar cells. They can be used to heat water for use in homes, buildings, and swimming pools or to produce electricity. In the US, solar power has increased by 41% in the past few years
Introduction The consumption of energy increased significantly in the past century, and with it, the demand for energy supplies increased as well, primarily because the exhaustible sources started to drain compared to its immense need. Therefore, the world was anticipating reliable renewable energy sources, the most common being: 1) Biomass: it relies on organic materials from plants and animals. 2) Hydro-power: that is based on the moving water. 3) Geothermal: using the heat from the core of the
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
feasibility of indirect solar cooker in the UAE Introduction Human development is accompanied with the use of energy. In history, using fire for cooking and for warming purpose were one of the biggest advancement in human civilization process. During the last two centuries, the global consumption of energy per capita has increased dramatically. For the UAE residents, this consumption rate is among the highest, i.e. 7,407 (kgoe) per annum in 2003 [1]. Among the various sectors of energy consumption, a huge
• Reliance on temperature differentials • Design limitations regarding ceiling heights 5.1 PASSIVE DESIGN PERFORMANCE Passive design refers to the use of the sun’s energy for the heating and cooling of living spaces. In this context, the building itself or some element of it takes advantages of natural energy characteristics in materials and air created by exposure to the sun. The importance of passive design is that it can fulfill the thermal comfort, low heating and cooling bills and it also
