3 Non Renewable Energy
"A non renewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be re-made or re-grown at a scale comparable to its consumption”.
Coal Petroleum Natural Gas
Limited Source : Coal, petroleum, and natural gas are considered nonrenewable because they can not be replenished in a short period of time. These are called fossil fuels. As per the increasing energy demand, we have to look after the renewable sources of energy to meet the demand. Environmental hazard : Using these sources of energy causes hazardous damage to the environment leading to effects of global warming ,acid rain, carbon dioxide emission, health hazards and other impacts
4 Hence arrives the need for Renewable Energy Renewable Energy
"Renewable Energy is energy that is derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly. In its various forms, it derives directly or indirectly from the sun.”
Solar Wind Hydro Biomass
Abundant source : These are all natural replenishable sources of energy, so all these sources can be effectively utilized to meet the increasing energy demand.
Eco Friendly : Using these renewable sources of energy leads to pollution free, indefinitely sustainable energy.

Monitoring Performance
Performance Ratio (PR) Three performance parameters may be used to define the overall system performance with respect to the energy production, solar resource, and overall effect of system losses. (IEC 61724) PV System Yield (Yf) -- Energy Yield : Output (MWh) / Name Plate power (MW) Reference Yield (Yr) - Actual Irradiation (KWh/m²) / STC irradiation (KW/m²) Performance Ratio (PR) = Yf / Yr
What is the PR of a 15 MW Solar-Park produces 75MWh on a day with 6.25 KWh/m² of in-plane insolation? 75/15 X 1/6.25 = 0.8 or 80 % PLF / CUF = 75/( 15*24 ) = 20.8 %
Key Issues: ➢ Calibration of Pyrometer ➢ GHI and Inclined-planed insolation ➢ In-house verification of calibration ➢ Regular cleaning of the glass dome Grass & Weeds inside the Plant
