In this paper, an attempt is made to answer the question: Can renewable energy sources eventually supply India’s electricity needs in the future? In particular, we examine the total potential of renewable energy sources in India and extent to which they can supply these needs. The estimates made here indicate that even with a frugal per capita electricity need of 2000 kWh/annum and a stabilized population of 1500 million by 2025, India would need to generate approximately 3000 TWh/yr. As opposed to this, a systematic analysis of the information available on all the renewable energy sources indicates that the total potential is only around 1000 TWh/yr. It is concluded that in the future as fossil fuels are exhausted, renewable sources alone will not suffice for meeting India’s needs.

Power And Energy

Due to the pressure of decreasing the carbon emission and inadequate sources of fossil fuels being a major reason, Renewable Energy is being incorporated rapidly throughout the globe. Smart grids have a substantial prospective towards tapping the non-conventional energy sources in their grid-connected mode or stand-alone mode [2]. Such limited systems across the sectarian domains of distributed generation systems despite the fact of tapping non-conventional energy sources, stay expected to be the advanced networks which may assist in transmuting the power and energy segment through not only delivering energy to distant and isolated communities, but also through better safekeeping and dependability of electrical energy resource in the urban zones [2][3]. Predominantly, due to a very large or bulk dispersion of non-conventional energy, the system units are expected to practice substantial encounters in sheltered and steady state process, very prominently on advanced stages of inconstant and spasmodic non-conventional sources (solar and wind). This paper is aimed to investigate the influence of the distributed generation like Wind and PV on the power system due to the large diffusion of non-conventional sources.

The Future

Motivated by energy security requirements and the desire to create a sustainable and safe environment, there is a growing need to transition gradually from fossil fuels toward new and emerging energy sources. The energy solutions of the future will require a significant amount of research and development, as well as increased awareness and acceptance of new and emerging energy technologies. Creating a highly educated workforce who will contribute to overcoming future energy challenges is a key component in bringing about this transition. One method of supporting workforce development in future energy solutions is to incorporate new and emerging energy technology directly into required undergraduate coursework. To this end, renewable energy projects were developed and implemented in a required introductory thermal science course in a mechanical engineering technology curriculum. The goal of the projects was to provide students with a deeper understanding of the need for, the advantages of, and the difficulties associated with renewable energy sources. The open-ended semester-long student projects included (1) research on the history and implementation of a renewable energy source, (2) development of an experimental application of the energy source in an energy conversion process, and (3) an economic analysis of the energy source in an assumed application or case study. This paper presents the design and development of these renewable energy projects, and informal and formal evaluation of the effectiveness of the projects over two years of classroom implementation. In addition, the link between the projects and select accreditation criteria for engineering technology programs is discussed.

Fossil Energy

Available fossil energy sources are dubiously compatible with the goal of arresting climate change. Carbon capture and sequestration technologies currently do not work on an industrial scale, and even if they could be made to work, they will reduce the energy returned on energy invested (EROI) of fossil fuels to below acceptable levels. The EROI of nuclear fission is disputed, but most peer-reviewed work places it in the 5–14 range, making it of questionable utility. Nuclear fusion, if it works, will not be available in time. Some renewable sources—notably, various biofuels—have unacceptably low EROIs. The remaining forms of renewable energy—solar, wind, hydropower, and wave power—sport EROIs that are, at best, on the cusp of viability. There is reasonable hope for improvement in these technologies because they are, at present, immature. In the meantime, it would be ideal if we could find a way to give them an edge.

This is an important step in the transformation of European electricity generation, but only a small one compared to the planned goal of 55 % greenhouse gas reductions by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050 in Europe. The EU countries will need huge investments in infrastructure to transport renewable energies from the locations of their generation to the locations of consumption. Furthermore, for the desired transformation of European electricity generation, both pricing and taxation of energies (and greenhouse gas emissions) need to be coordinated such that the EU remains competitive and effective incentives are set. Global data also show that the overall electricity transition is not progressing in line with climate targets. Clean power generation is not yet being built fast enough to keep pace with the rising electricity demand. Wind and solar power plants make up the bulk, but their growth has slowed in recent years. Even the temporary drop in electricity demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic is not enough to put the world on track and electricity demand will undoubtedly pick up soon, especially as the world seeks to electrify all sectors that still rely on fossil fuels. Solutions and more ambition worldwide are needed urgently. European Union The chart below shows the EU's energy sources since 2020.

Based on the use of panel data, the work establishes the relationship between the development of renewable energy sources and (1) the price of fossil energy, (2) the supply of oil and gas consumption through its own production, (3) the factor of the country's technological development and (4) the influence of non-competitive political institutions. The period of high prices for fossil energy (1999-2014) became the catalyst for changes in the structure of the energy balance, especially in Europe, with an increase in the production of renewable energy. However, the fall in prices in 2014 - to the present has led to stagnation in the production of renewable energy with a rapid increase in the use of fossil fuels. In the context of this work, the significance of the factors under study on the consumption of renewable energy sources is proved.

Along with events like global warming and environmental pollution, fossil energy exhaustion is also a big problem. When people are increasingly dependent on this material while fossil fuels are increasingly depleted. In the face of that risk, many countries around the world have been looking for new types of energy that are capable of regenerating and providing continuous energy. Renewable energy is found from the resources around people like wind, water, sunlight, ... and sea water is one of them. Sea waves and tides are two extremely large sources of renewable energy that have been discovered. According to the study, these two energy sources are capable of providing huge electricity to the world.

As the global warming is increasing day by day, distributed generation based on renewable energy will play a major role in the production of electricity. Renewable energy sources are considered as the most viable alternative energy sources to be used in the place of conventional fossil fuels. Microgrids are the fundamental elements in future smart grid distributed generation systems. This paper illustrates various options for supply of electric power from renewable sources along with storage units and main grid to different types of loads. The sizing of the distribution system and the economic analysis were performed using Homer, computer software designed by National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) at Colorado, United States in 1993. This paper will analyze the Cost of Energy (COE) and Net Present Cost (NPC) for various loads and the system configuration with minimal COE and NPC is considered as the optimal solution for each type of load while reducing the emissions.

Fossil fuels have been the mainstream of energy supply and a major source of foreign exchange earnings for the Federal Government of Nigeria, in spite of being an unrenewable and unsustainable source of energy. Nigeria is yet to tap into the full benefits after privatising its power sector, including the new global evolution in the energy sector and the resulting increasing demand for renewable energy sources, which some consider to be cheaper and more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels and their allied products. Energy security is a challenge to socio-economic development in Nigeria, due to the country’s over-dependency on fossil fuels. In terms of their impact and the potentials to preserve energy sources for longevity and sustainability, however, fossil fuels will come to be seen as an out-dated alternative in the power sector as the energy industry evolves. The implications for Nigeria’s oil sector will not be limited to dwindling crude oil prices. The concerns include poor energy utilisation in Nigeria and the need to promote energy efficiency and sustainability. They have led to the formulation of new energy policies around the world to serve as a vehicle for translating solutions into reality. This study has adopted a library-based legal research method with a comparative approach. The study reveals that it is the lack of a coherent legal framework with incentives for using renewable energy that is largely seen as the key issue causing slow uptake of renewable energy as an alternative source of energy in Nigeria. As well as the need for a coherent legal framework on energy and incentives for using renewable energy sources, the study advocates stringent enforcement of existing energy regulatory policies.
