RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY A SEMINAR REPORT Submitted by Mr. SWARN SINGH In partial fulfillment for the award of the degree of MASTER OF TECHNOLOGY IN MACHINE DESIGN AT PTU REGIONAL CENTRE BABA BANDA SINGH BAHADUR ENGINEERING COLLEGE FATEHGARH SAHIB DEC 2011 ABSTRACT The study of renewable energy sources is an important topic in the field of the combustion science. Fuels obtained from biomasses could become a valid alternative to the use of fossil fuels‚ also in the light of

Solar Energy Alternative energy resources are being closely evaluated because of the depletion of nonrenewable resources‚ such as fossil fuels. Fossil fuels and other nonrenewable resources have damaged earth because of the amount of pollution that is released some‚ in which is known as Carbon Dioxide. Massive amounts of Carbon Dioxide are that is released into our environment every year further damaging our planet. Scientist has been effectively working on ways of conserving energy that is

manipulations of fossil fuels represent an arduous and taxing means for producing energy to power further innovation. Therefore‚ novel methods of energy production are requisite to future technological progress. Therefore‚ investments into sources of renewable energy have expanded yet have met with heated discussion. The United States is a major consumer of resources such as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas. Consumers of energy continue to grow exponentially‚ which poses a huge challenge to these diminishing

cells provide cost effective solutions to energy problems in places where there is no mains electricity. Solar cells are also totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime. Compared to other renewable sources they also possess many advantages; wind and water power rely on turbines which are noisy‚ expensive and liable to breaking down. Rooftop power is a good way of supplying energy to a growing community. More cells can be

Duke Energy New Project Background and Analysis As we are all keenly aware‚ the answer to efficient‚ clean‚ profitable power is comparable to searching for the Holy Grail. Strong headwinds face any power utilities efforts to build more carbon based power plants. Nuclear power‚ while clean in a sense‚ faces community shouts of “Not in my backyard.” Duke Energy‚ and several other players in the power industry‚ has embraced the idea of more efficient delivery of its current power production

Geothermal Energy Introduction: 1. Good morning every one. My name is…. A. First‚ I have a question for you guys. How many kinds of energy you know until now? (Watch for feedback) B. Ok‚ so have you heard geothermal energy before? Good‚ I am goanna show you some pictures first. C. When I heard this term‚ there are few questions came out in my mind‚ what is the geothermal energy? how the new energy works? Is the

that could power a jet‚ NASA engineer Bilal Bomani presents his work in turning the field of aviation into an environmentally friendly service. At NASA’s GreenLab Research Facility‚ he uses algae and halophytes to create a self-sustaining‚ renewable energy ecosystem that doesn’t consume arable land or fresh water. Bomani’s work has a set of guidelines which it must follow. In order to be truly Green‚ Bomani’s fuel must be Sustainable‚ Alternative and Renewable. Meaning that it must have a low carbon

today’s world is that of energy sources to power an increasing global demand. Traditionally‚ humans have converted energy from natural resources like coal and natural gas for use. However‚ these sources of energy are both nonrenewable and cause large amounts of pollution. As we progress through the 21st century‚ renewable energy sources like solar and wind energy will see increased use to replace traditional sources. One of these sources‚ wind energy‚ is seeing a rise in development because it is a source

Aside from our water and food resources needs‚ energy can be considered as one of the world’s most important recourses. Our world has been supplied with two types of energy‚ the Renewable energy and Conventional energy. From the past decades‚ energy has been a huge help on the economic growth. Through the distribution of energy to the world it has been providing much efficient growth on discovering new technologies and giving job opportunities that drastically helped our local and global economy
