for storing the electricity‚ and a gas-powered‚ back-up generator. For us‚ solar power was a practical solution to a real problem. For what it would have cost us to have the power company run lines to our remote home‚ we could buy a complete power system and never have an electric bill. We did our research‚ learned about typical household loads‚ and set up our system. Except for the fact that there were no power lines to our house‚ we looked and lived like just about everyone else in the modern

you independent in power generation‚ and to power your own domestic loads but also let you sell the Electric power when you have it in excess. Such system would not only make our grids smarter‚ efficient and secure but will offer solutions to many problems. 1.1.1: Renewable energy: Renewable energy is any natural source which can replenish itself naturally over a short amount of duration. Renewable energy comes from many commonly known sources such as solar power‚ wind‚ hydro power‚ Fuel cells etc.

used in power system studies such as probabilistic power flow‚ economic dispatch and reliability evaluations [12]‚ [13]. Evaluation of distribution system reliability based on Monte Carlo Simulation is one the well-known method in complex non-linear systems. This technique and method gets more information on the load point and system reliability index in comparison to the other method which is analytical method. Because of the uncertainty of both wind turbine and photovoltaic output power‚ it is not

coal and permanent renewable energy sources‚ like solar power.” More than thirty years later his announcement still rings true and is relevant. In fact‚ the current situation of non-renewable fuels is worse than in 1977. This is because American and global society is becoming more mobile and active‚ which is causing fossil fuels to be diminished at a higher rate than ever. Scientific discovery like the innovation of steam power and river power in the nineteenth century was a catalyst for meeting energy

as alternative fuels methanol‚ hydrogen‚ liquid and compressed natural gas‚ and electric fuel. Alternative sources of energy are classified as energy provided from sources other than fossil fuels. This includes but is not limited to nuclear power‚ solar power‚ hydropower and biomass. Currently‚ many of these alternate sources are in use‚ but unfortunately they are underused or underdeveloped because of perceived shortcomings or drawbacks. While some of these fuel and energy sources may indeed lack

as well as wind. In the country of Germany the countryside depends on many different sources of energy in order to progress in their daily live especially for those individuals who work the farm lands or live in small villages of the windy mountain‚ and hillside. These individuals definitely depend on a combination of wind‚ and solar power due to the fact that they use smaller power grid that it is base off that of solar power‚ and have the use of large wind mills. These sources of power has origins

increasing at alarming rate and the power demand has been running ahead of supply. It is also now widely recognized that the fossil fuels (i.e.‚ coal‚ petroleum and natural gas) and other conventional resources‚ presently being used for generation of electrical energy‚ may not be either sufficient or suitable to keep pace with ever increasing demand of the electrical energy of the world. Also generation of electrical power by cold based steam power plant or nuclear power plants causes pollution‚ which
