I. INTRODUCTION Today‚ every country draws its energy needs from a variety of sources. We broadly classified this source as conventional and non conventional. 1.1] CONVENTIONAL SOURCES 1) Fossil fuels‚ 2) Hydroelectric power‚ 3) Nuclear fission‚ 1.2] NON-CONVENTIONAL SOURCES 1) Solar energy‚ 2) Wind energy‚ 3) Bio mass and bio gas‚ 4) Ocean thermal energy‚ 5) Tidal energy‚ 6) Geothermal energy. Energy is the prime mover of economic growth and is vital to the survival of a modern economy

Samsung for the past 3 years has been sharing their sustainable accomplishments through a sustainability report. This report demonstrates the impact Samsung had on people‚ society‚ and the environment. The structure for their sustainable report closely resembles that of an annual report. It is divided into three parts: Sustainability overview‚ Material issues‚ and Facts and figures. They monitor their accomplishments by setting benchmarks for each year. An example of these benchmarks: in 2011 they

NEW ERA OF FLIGHT SOLAR IMPULSE AIRCRAFT Throughout the centuries‚ scientists have found innovative ways to harness the power of the sun- from magnifying glasses to steam engines. Amid the push to find domestic energy sources that are less polluting than fossil fuel‚ solar energy stands out as the alternative source with the most potential. Assisted by technological innovations‚ two Swiss gentlemen have built a solar aircraft which promises a new generation of flight without burning an ounce

A conservative value to use for a solar panel’s generating capacity is 10 watts/sq. ft. This represents a panel conversion efficiency of about 12% which is typical. That means that for every kW you need to generate‚ you’d need about 100 sq. ft. of solar panels. If the sun would shine 24 hours a day‚ you could put up 100 sq. ft. of panels and you’d have enough to power an average home. But as we all know‚ the sun doesn’t shine all the time. The sun is only available during the day and the amount

Wind Vs. Solar in the Race for India’s Energy Future This article compares the present and future potential for energy production from wind and solar sources in India and presents a brief analysis of future trends in these two energy technologies. Introduction India is undergoing an energy crisis. 53% of the country’s current power needs come from coal. This highly polluting source of energy is bound to run out someday. Compared to the West‚ India’s energy consumption is growing at break-neck
