Solar and Wind Energy Power generation scenario in India.pptx

This slide contain the details of Solar and Wind Energy Power generation current scenario in India.

1. Solar energy is a major contributor to the overall renewable energy capacity installed in India. Due to its geographical benefits and abundant sunlight, India has positioned itself as a major player in the global solar farming capacity. The country has successfully built and installed some of the largest solar PV power plants in the world. India's solar power installed capacity was 87.21 GW as of 31 July 2024. India is the third largest producer of solar power globally. Solar energy

2.  The National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) estimates India’s potential to produce 748 GW by covering 3%  i.e., about 98,610 square kilometres of the country's wasteland with Solar PV Modules. The largest solar power plant in India is built in line with India's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) mission to achieve 50%  of cumulative electric power installed solar capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources including solar PV.    The government of India has introduced several schemes to promote sustainable energy solar parks, including the Solar Park Scheme, Bundling Scheme, and Grid Connected Rooftop Solar Scheme. Solar energy is used in India for a variety of applications, including:  Rooftop solar panels:  Solar water heating:   Solar cooking:   Solar drying:    Solar lanterns:   Solar pumps:  Street lights:  

3. Solar energy potential India has a large solar energy potential, with an estimated 748 GWp of potential. The country's solar energy potential is the highest among all renewable energy sources.  Solar energy capacity As of July 2024, India's installed solar energy capacity is 87.2 GW, which is a 30-fold increase over the last 9 years.  Solar energy deployment India is the fifth largest solar PV deployer in the world.  Solar energy incidence India's land area receives an estimated 5,000 trillion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of solar energy per year, which is more than the total energy output of all of India's fossil fuel reserves.  Solar energy generation India's daily average solar-power-plant generation capacity is 0.30 kWh per square meter of used land area.  Renewable energy India is the world's third largest renewable energy producer. In 2022, 40% of India's installed energy capacity came from renewable sources.  Clean electricity Increasing clean electricity is important for reducing carbon emissions, meeting rising electricity demand, and decoupling economic growth from emissions.

5. Lack of R&D, modern development facilities, and manufacturing infrastructure impact the development of solar panels, equipment, and inverters to meet complete demand. This friction leads to an increase in imports from countries like China, Germany, etc., thereby increasing the cost of the system.   Solar systems require substantial investment in the beginning and have longer payback periods. Lack of awareness amongst the general public is one of the key challenges slowing the adoption of solar energy.   Some administrative issues, like the ease of land acquisition, government approvals, material supply limits, etc., affect the setup of solar generation plants and thereby lead to delays in development.   The overall setup warranty provided by the implementation partner is also one of the challenges that we face today. Many companies today provide limited support and warranty for implementing solar panels and systems, raising concerns for many customers.   Challenges involved in solar development

6. Wind Energy in India - An Overview Wind energy is an important source of renewable energy in India. Wind Farm/Park – Meaning & Types A wind farm or wind park, also called a wind power station or wind power plant, is a group of wind turbines in the same location used to produce electricity. Wind farms vary in size from a small number of turbines to several hundred wind turbines covering an extensive area. Types of Wind Farm/Parks Onshore – Wind turbines harness the energy of moving air to generate electricity. Onshore wind refers to turbines located on land Offshore – offshore turbines are located out at sea or in freshwater.

7. Windmills generate power by using the wind's kinetic energy to spin a generator and create electricity:  Wind catches blades: Wind blows over the blades of a wind turbine, causing them to spin. This is similar to how airplane wings create lift.  Shaft spins: The spinning blades turn a shaft in the nacelle.  Generator creates electricity: The shaft spins a generator, which produces electricity.  Windmills/ Wind Turbine What is the cost of a windmill in India? As far as the Indian context is concerned, the cost will be around 6 crores .

8. Installed capacity As of May 2024, India's installed wind power capacity is 46.4 GW, making it the fourth largest in the world.  Production In 2023, India produced about 82.1 terawatt-hours of electricity from wind energy.  Target India's target for wind capacity in 2030 is 170 gigawatts , which would require a quadrupling of its current capacity.  Manufacturing India has a domestic wind turbine industry with a production capacity of around 500 MW annually.  Research and development Research is ongoing to reduce costs, improve forecasting, and minimize environmental impacts.  Wind farms Wind farms are groups of wind turbines that produce electricity. The Western Ghats mountain range along India's western coast influences wind patterns in the region, creating strong breezes on the sheltered side where wind farms are located. India's wind power sector is growing and is expected to play a major role in the country's renewable energy mix:  India's Wind energy scenario

10. Advantages of Wind Park or Wind Farms Renewable –  meaning that the source of energy is not depleted when it is used. So, as we use wind energy we don’t decrease the amount of wind available; whereas in the case of fossil fuels, it leads to depletion of resources. Low-cost energy – Although wind turbines have high upfront costs, the energy they produce is cheap.  Clean energy – Generating energy using wind turbines does not emit any greenhouse gases.  Disadvantages of Wind Park or Wind Farms Onshore wind is an intermittent source of energy, as turbines cannot generate electricity on demand, but only when the wind is blowing, and at sufficient strength. When wind strength is insufficient for turbines to operate, the fossil-fuel-based power supply is needed as a backup, which can temporarily increase greenhouse gas emissions.  As per some research, people who live or work in close proximity have experienced symptoms that include decreased quality of life, annoyance, stress, sleep disturbance, headache, anxiety, depression, and cognitive dysfunction. However, many researchers have differing opinions. Wind turbine syndrome and wind farm syndrome are terms for the alleged adverse human health effects related to the proximity of wind turbines. Wind turbine syndrome has been characterized as pseudoscience. Wind Parks need to be spread over more land than other power stations and need to be built in wild and rural areas, which can lead to industrialization of the countryside.
