Solar Power In India India’s power sector has a total installed capacity of approximately 1‚46‚753 Megawatt (MW) of which 54% is coal-based‚ 25% hydro‚ 8% is renewables and the balance is the gas and nuclear-based. Power shortages are estimated at about 11% of total energy and 15% of peak capacity requirements and are likely to increase in the coming years. In the next 10 years‚ another 10‚000 MW of capacity and investment of about Rs. 24 lakh crore are required. Fortunately‚ India lies in sunny

Wireless Power Transmission for Solar Power Satellite (SPS) (Second Draft by N. Shinohara) 1. Theoretical Background It is known that electromagnetic energy also associated with the propagation of the electromagnetic waves. We can use theoretically all electromagnetic waves for a wireless power transmission (WPT). The difference between the WPT and communication systems is only efficiency. The Maxwell’s Equations indicate that the electromagnetic field and its power diffuse to all directions. Although

Concentrated Solar Power An Analysis on Solar Thermal Power and its Application Hassan Almutawa and Chavis Sabin Abstract Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is a renewable energy source that converts the radiation from the Sun into thermal energy. CSP plants collect solar energy throughout the day and can continue to provide electricity for up to six hours after dark using thermal storage. CSP plants can only be built in arid flat areas with a high annual solar radiation rating. Many countries

Chapter 1 Introduction The notion of going green is not strictly a new technological concept‚ and any naturally occurring and theoretically inexhaustible energy such as wind‚ biomass‚ and solar‚ tidal‚ wave‚ hydroelectric power that is not derived from fossil or nuclear fuel is referred to as renewable energy. The relevance of these emerging fields became more pronounced when the need to produce clean‚ safe and efficient energy devices without trading off environmental friendliness arise. The current
