Abstract

The electricity requirements of the world including India are increasing at alarming rate and the power consumption has been running ahead of supply. It is widely recognized that the fosil fuels 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. Generation of electrical power by this conventional method causes pollution. On the other hand the renewable energy is a form of green energy and is thus eco friendly to the environment. Renewable energy is very low in cost and it does not have a much negative impact on the environment. The conventional source of energy may come to an end after a certain period, but renewable resources will never end. These sources are infinite because the source like sunlight, wind will never end or stop. Those sources can be used to generate electrical energy in very low cost. The non-conventional methods of power generation may be such as solar cells, fuel cells, thermoelectric generator, wind power generation, geothermal and tidal power generation etc. The increase of this kind of green energy will only slow down the global warming of the earth and may decrease the air pollution.
