INTRODUCTION Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, play a crucial role in addressing the global energy challenge and mitigating climate change. These clean and sustainable sources of energy offer numerous environmental, economic, and social benefits. The adoption of renewable energy systems brings several benefits, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved air quality, energy independence, job creation, and cost savings. As a geographical location India has an ample quantity of sun energy (around 5000 trillion kWh/year) and wind energy (around 300 W /m2). Additionally, the use of renewable energy systems is essential for expanding the energy portfolio and enhancing energy reliability. 3
EARLY SCENARIOS OF PV SYSTEMS JNNSM – 2010, attempt to make India as a global leader in solar energy with a target of 20 GW. Revised in 2015 and the goal was set to 100 GW by 2022. As of 2024 the installed capacity has reached 72 GW. At the Paris Meet-2016, India had made a commitment of generating 175GW of renewable energy out of which is 100GW purely through solar by 2022, but the target has not been achieved yet. The deployment models were very unsophisticated and PV panels barely 10-12% efficient. Earlier, RES of either Solar + Diesel or Wind + Diesel. 4
ADAPTION OF HRES Talking about the renewable energy generation, solar systems provide better power delivery than the wind turbine systems but the wind systems are more promising when it comes to cost and reliability. The negation of each other’s disadvantages is achieved by simply combining both these sources of energy to solve the limits of periodic variations, such that complete efficiency of the system can be increased.
Provides consistency in power supply. Feasible Trade-off between cost and power output Utilizes the RE sources as much as possible. Increase reliability of the system. Reduces peak variations throughout. Improves the dispatch flexibility. Benefits of HRES 6
Current developments in HRES 7 Currently, PV systems are equipped with ESS as backup. So due to advancement in technology, we can integrate [Solar + Wind + Diesel + BESS] in a single Stand Alone system. T he government can ensure the connectivity of the grid everywhere, so they have also established programs and other tender contracts for the standalone HRES.
CURRENT DEVELOPMENT IN HRES 8 At the moment : Total Installed Capacity = 430 GW. Renewable Generation Capacity = 180 GW. Projected Renewable Capacity = 500 GW. (By 2040)

Application of HRES Widely used in Stand Alone Systems, off-grid load, charging EV’s, rural residential areas. Installed at highways providing power supply to the toll booths, street lights and check-post offices. Used in Agricultural industries, for powering water pumping stations. Off-Shore HRES powering oil grids & ports via Wind + Tidal energy. Integrated Mega Solar & Wind Farms for utilizing Renewable sources proficiently. Innovative Rooftop Systems (demonstrated in next slide)
Traffic Powered Wind and Solar Energy Integrated Systems Traffic powered wind and solar energy integrated systems are innovative solutions for harnessing renewable energy from traffic and transportation infrastructure. These systems utilize the movement and flow of vehicles to generate clean and sustainable energy. Traffic powered wind and solar energy integrated systems are innovative solutions for harnessing renewable energy from traffic and transportation infrastructure. These systems utilize the movement and flow of vehicles to generate clean and sustainable energy. Wind turbines are strategically placed near highways or in areas with high wind speeds to capture wind energy. The movement of vehicles and the flow of air generated by passing vehicles cause the wind turbines to rotate, generating electricity. The captured solar and wind energy is converted into electricity, which can be used to power streetlights, traffic signals, and other infrastructure. Excess electricity can be stored in batteries or fed into the grid, contributing to the overall renewable energy supply.

Bladeless Wind Power There is a fixed base and a cylindrical mast that oscillates freely perpendicular to the wind direction, jointed by a carbon rod. Inner parts never collide with each other, but interact to generate electricity. Vortex Bladeless vibrates using the power contained in its vortices that is generated when wind bypasses the structure and transforms mechanical energy into electricity Vortex Bladeless (under development in S pain)
Summary Renewable energy systems, such as photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy systems, play a crucial role in achieving a sustainable future. These advancements have revolutionized the energy sector and offer numerous benefits. One such advancement is the introduction and adaptation of hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES), which combine multiple sources of renewable energy to optimize efficiency and reliability. HRES offer several advantages, including reduced reliance on fossil fuels, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and increased energy independence. HRES will be more cost-effective in the future. Aside from the expense, the environmental advantages are likely to make this hybrid system more widely used and accepted. The advancements in PV and wind energy systems, along with the continuous development of HRES, floating solar projects, and traffic-powered systems, hold great promise for a sustainable and renewable energy future. 16
