“NON CONVENTIONAL ENERGY SOURCES”
Session 2010-2011
Eg:-
C60
Capacity:
125L, 250L, 375L, 500L, 750L, 1000L
Collector Type:
Black-chrome Coated
Pollution free.
Available in plenty.
Disadvantages:
Tata Power, a subsidiary of the famous Tata Group, is planning to set up India’s largest
solar PV power plant with a generation capacity of 50 MW. The company will set up this
plant in Mithapur, Gujarat.
Winds are caused because of two factors.
The absorption of solar energy on the earth’s surface and in
the atmosphere.
The rotation of the earth about its axis and its motion around
the sun.
• This can be judged from the fact that energy available in the
wind over the earth’s surface is estimated to be 1.6x107 K.W
Disadvantages
(1)Wind power is not consistent.
(2)High cost
Bio gas is generated through a process of anaerobic
degradation of Bio Mass.
Bio Mass is organic matter produced by plants, both terrestrial
(those grown on land) and aquatic (those grown in water) and
their derivatives.
It includes forest crops and residues, crops grown especially
for their energy content on “energy farms” and animal manure.
Unlike coal, oil and natural gas, which takes Millions of years
to form, bio mass can be considered as a renewable energy
source
It can also be considered a form of solar energy as the latter is
used indirectly to grow these plants by photosynthesis.
Hence,
• Low production
• Not economical for large scale use.
Tide is periodic rise and fall of the water level of the sea.
This rise and fall of water level occurs due to the attraction of
sea water by the moon.
When the water is above the mean sea level, it is called flood
tide and when the level is below the mean level, it is called
ebb tide.
Disadvantages:
The supply of power is not continuous as it depends upon the
timing of tides. Therefore some arrangements (double basin or
double basin with pump storage) must be made to supply the
continuous power.
High installation cost.
Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that combines
hydrocarbon fuel with oxygen to produce electricity and heat.
Disadvantages:
Takes larger space.
The hydrogen evaporates as the insulation is not that perfect.
At last I conclude that this study of NON CONVENTIONAL SOURCES
OF ENERGY is valuable as it will meet the energy needs in future, as
conventional sources of energy is going to exhaust in future and these
sources of energy are also harming the environment directly or indirectly.
