Studies on Nonconventional Energy Sources for Electricity Generation

Abstract

Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources and includes wind power, solar radiation as well as energy from other naturally and constantly replenished sources (sunlight, rain, wave, tides, geothermal heat, etc.). Renewable energy sector has one very big advantage over fossil fuels, the fact that it is highly ecologically acceptable compared to fossil fuels, because renewable energy sources release very little CO2 emissions into atmosphere compared to fossil fuels as the convincingly biggest pollutants. The findings of this research work is that the use of renewable energy will be available after finishing the traditional sources of energy like oil, gas and coal. This work may be the guide line for future use of renewable energy instead of nonrenewable energy in the world. This work also shows that the renewable energy is capable to face the energy crisis in the world in near future.
