Energy and different forms of energy: Energy:Energy is the ability to accomplish mechanical work or produce movement of a body against resistance. It is a vital requirement for economic development of every nation. Different forms of energy: ➢ Energy exists in various forms. ➢ One form of energy can be converted into other forms by the use of suitable arrangements. ➢ Energy from the sun also gives rise to the winds in the atmosphere, which can operates the windmills. ➢ Also, the sun’s heat produces rains. The rain water flows in rivers, there by driving water wheels. ➢ Energy utilised by mankind exists in the forms given below 1. Potential energy 2. Kinetic energy 3. Magnetic energy 4. Electric energy 5. Chemical energy 6. Nuclear energy 7. Heat energy 8. Light energy 9. Sound energy, etc.., ➢ Out of all these forms of energy, electrical energy is most preferred. 2. Resources and development of power in India ➢ In our country energy is obtained from both non-commercial and commercial sources. ➢ Fuels which come under non-commercial form are firewood, agricultural waste and animal dung, which provides more than 40% of the total energy that, is being consumed. ➢ The % contribution of firewood, agricultural waste and animal dung in the total non commercial energy consumption is about 65%, 15% and 20% respectively. Energy sources can be broadly classified into 2 types. They are: a) Renewable energy sources i) Wind energy ii) Geothermal energy iii) Ocean thermal energy iv) Solar energy etc.., b) Non renewable energy sources i) Coal ii) Oil iii) Nuclear power, etc…, Renewable and non renewable energy sources: ➢ Non renewable energy is generally derived from fossil fuels (coal, wood and oil). ➢ The fossil fuel deposits can be regarded to be available in fixed quantity ➢ The time taken for the development of energy, which is obtained by combustion of fossil fuel, is approximately 600 million years. ➢ At the present consumption rate, it is probable to consume earth’s entire supply of fossil fuel in less than hundred years. ➢ Renewable energy can be derived from different sources, such as sun’s heat (solar energy), earth’s heat (geothermal energy), energy in waves (tidal power) and wind (wind power). ➢ The problem associated with renewable energy sources is that, the energy will not be available at all times and in sufficient quantity. ➢ The sun does not shine always; hence it is not possible to obtain energy during winter and rainy days. ➢ The speed of waves required to operate a wave conversion machine is not constant. ➢ The wind does not always blow with sufficient velocity, required to operate the wind mill. ➢ Thus, the above aspects necessitate the use of some form of energy storage device. 2.2 Renewable energy resources: 1) Wind energy: ➢ In India, greater wind speeds are obtained in coastal areas of saurashtra, some parts of central India and Western Rajasthan. In these areas, there would be a possibility of using medium and large size air mills for the generation of electricity. ➢ In India, the interest in the wind mills was seen in the late 50’s and early 60’s. ➢ The wind energy generated annually on earth is about 1.67x105 KWh. This is through natural phenomena and 10 times the obtained value gives over the entire global region. ➢ Many projects on the wind mill systems for water pumping and for production of electrical power (small amounts) are taken up by many organizers in our country. Some of the developments are given below: i) WP-2 water pumping wind mill by NAL Banglore. ii) CAZRI wind mill at Jodhpur (Rajasthan) iii) WP 2 500 wind mill at NAL Banglore. iv) MP-1 soil wind mill at NAL Banglore v) Madhuri wind mill at Maduri(TamilNadu). 2) Geothermal energy: ➢ Remarkable developments in the use of geothermal energy are expected in several countries including India in the years to come. This will be merit both from the point of view of pollution control in the atmosphere and conserving fossil. ➢ The geothermal power is roughly estimated for a depth of 3km to 8x1021joules of total energy stored while for a depth of 10 km, the total energy stored is found to be 4x1022jouled approximately. ➢ In India, Himachal Pradesh is reported to have geothermal energy in exploitable amount. ➢ Under the sponsorship of DNES (Department of Non-Conventional Energy Source), a 7.5 Tonne capacity cold storage pilot plant based on geothermal energy is installed at Manikarnika, Himachal Pradesh . 3) Ocean thermal energy: ➢ In India, the department of non conventional energy sources, also known as (DNCS) has proposed to install at 1MW OTEC plant in Lakshadweep Island at Minicoy and Kavaralti. ➢ Preliminary oceanographic studies on the eastern side of Lakshadweep Island indicates the possibility of the established at shore based OTEC plant at the island. ➢ Both the islands possess large lagoons on western side. ➢ The OTEC plant will bring up the water from 1000m depth which has large nutrient value. 4) Non- renewable energy sources: Coal: Since the emergence of industrialization coal has become the most common source of energy. The commissioning of an additional 500MW unit at Kobra thermal power station, the power station has become the largest power station of India.

Komekura, Japan · Solar PV system on Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain-top A photovoltaic system, also PV system or solar power system, is a power system designed to supply usable solar powerby means of photovoltaics. It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to change the electric current from DC to AC, as well as mounting, cabling, and other electrical accessories to set up a working system. It may also use a solar tracking system to improve the system's overall performance and include an integrated battery solution, as prices for storage devices are expected to decline. Strictly speaking, a solar array only encompasses the ensemble of solar panels, the visible part of the PV system, and does not include all the 16ME 325/Power Plant Engg/T.Venkatajalapathi other hardware, often summarized as balance of system (BOS).
