This document provides an overview of solar energy, including its basic concepts, advantages and disadvantages, applications for heating spaces and water, photovoltaics, and the future of solar technology. It describes how solar energy originates from the sun's thermonuclear fusion reactions and can be harnessed through various collection, conversion, and storage methods. The core technologies discussed are solar thermal and photovoltaics, with explanations of how silicon solar cells work using intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors to generate electricity from sunlight. The document also outlines the development of solar cell technologies from first to third generation and discusses various applications and the top producers globally.
This document discusses tidal energy and how it works. It describes how the first tidal power plant was built in 1966 in France and generates 240MW. Tidal power plants harness the energy from tides rising and falling caused by gravitational forces from the moon and sun. There are two main types - tidal barrages which are dams across estuaries and bays, and tidal current turbines which capture the kinetic energy of moving water similar to wind turbines. Tidal power is a renewable source but has high construction costs and may impact aquatic life. It could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from other power sources.
This document provides an overview of various types of green energy, including hydro, solar, wind, biofuel, tidal, wave, hydrogen, and geo-thermal energy. It explains that green energy comes from natural, renewable sources and has a negligible impact on greenhouse gas emissions, unlike fossil fuels which are limited and produce harmful gases. Each type of green energy is then described in 1-2 paragraphs, highlighting aspects like its worldwide usage, how it is produced or harnessed, advantages and limitations. The conclusion states that renewable energy technologies will become more important as concerns rise over fossil fuel availability and environmental impacts.
Wind energy has large potential as a renewable energy source globally and in India. In India, the gross wind power potential is 45,195 MW and technical potential is 28,375 MW. India is the 5th largest producer of wind energy, generating about 2 billion kWh per year. The cost of wind energy in India is Rs. 4-5 per kWh. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical or electrical energy. Their performance depends on factors like wind speed, rotor size, blade design, tip speed ratio, and solidity. Horizontal axis wind turbines are most commonly used for utility-scale wind power installations.
This document provides an overview of wind energy technology presented by Group 1. It discusses that wind energy is a renewable source that can be harnessed to generate power. The key components of a wind power system include wind turbines, generators, and control systems. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical or electrical power. Modern wind turbines are primarily horizontal axis turbines that have blades, a gearbox, generator, and a nacelle housed at the top of a tower. The document also notes some benefits and limitations of wind power.

In this beautiful presentation you will be presented with main advantages and disadvantages of Vertical wind turbines and Horizontal wind turbines. This is great for comparison of 2 designs of wind turbines. There is also a short review of biggest wind turbine in the world Vestas V164 8MW.
This document outlines osmotic power, which generates energy from the difference in salt concentration between seawater and freshwater. It works via pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) where freshwater naturally moves through a semi-permeable membrane into higher salinity seawater, increasing pressure. This pressure powers a turbine to generate electricity. Key components include membrane modules to separate the waters, filters to optimize membrane performance, and a turbine/generator. Experimental results showed a prototype achieving over 90% efficiency and the potential to scale installations by adding more membrane modules.
The document summarizes information about a solar power plant, including:
1) It describes the basic components of a solar power plant including solar modules, controllers, batteries, inverters, and lighting loads.
2) It explains how solar energy is converted into electricity through both photovoltaic and concentrated solar power systems. Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight directly into electricity while concentrated solar power uses mirrors to focus sunlight and generate heat to power turbines.
3) It provides an overview of the advantages of solar power plants in being renewable, clean, and requiring little maintenance over time.
Wind power harnesses the kinetic energy of wind using wind turbines to generate mechanical or electrical power. It has several advantages over fossil fuels as it is a renewable resource that produces no greenhouse gases. While early windmills were used historically, modern utility-scale wind turbines are designed to optimize power extraction from the wind at a given location. Although wind power output can vary over time, wind energy represents an important source of renewable energy for many countries seeking to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
