SYNOPSIS : B.TECH SEMINAR ( VIIIth SEM )
Title: RENEWABLE ENERGY.
Introduction:
Renewable energy systems are technologies that harness energy from natural, replenishable
sources, such as sunlight, wind, water, geothermal heat, and biomass. Unlike conventional
fossil fuel-based energy systems, which rely on finite resources like coal, oil, and natural gas,
renewable energy systems offer a sustainable way to generate electricity, heat, and fuel with
minimal environmental impact.
These systems help mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and
dependence on non-renewable resources.
Objective:
Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Lower carbon emissions to combat climate
change.
Diversify Energy Supply: Decrease reliance on fossil fuels and enhance
energy security.
Promote Sustainability: Ensure energy is renewable and available for future
generations.
Enhance Energy Access: Provide reliable energy to off-grid and remote areas.
Promote Technological Innovation: Drive advancements in clean energy
technologies.
Improve Public Health: Reduce pollution and enhance air quality.
Sources:
Solar: Harnessing sunlight with photovoltaic cells or thermal collectors.
Wind: Capturing the kinetic energy of wind with turbines.
Hydropower: Utilizing the energy of moving water with dams or turbines.
Geothermal: Tapping into the Earth's heat for electricity or heating.
Biomass: Burning organic matter like wood or crops for energy.
Applications:
Electricity Generation: Solar panels, wind turbines, and hydropower plants produce
clean electricity for homes, businesses, and industries.
Heating and Cooling: Solar thermal systems and geothermal energy are used for
heating buildings and water.
Transportation: Electric vehicles (EVs) and biofuels reduce reliance on fossil fuels
in the transportation sector.
Off-Grid Energy Solutions: Solar and wind power are used in remote areas without
access to the traditional power grid.
Industrial Processes: Renewable energy sources power industrial operations, from
manufacturing to food production, reducing carbon footprints.
Agriculture: Biomass energy from agricultural waste and crops can be used for
heating, electricity, and even as fuel for machinery.
