Importance of Non-conventional Energy
Sources
• Because of rapid industrialization & population
growth, conventional sources will not sufficient to
meet growing demand.
• Conventional sources are non-renewable & bound to
finish up 1-day.
• Conventional sources cause pollution
• Large hydro resources affect wildlife, cause
deforestation and pose various social problem.
• Safety of nuclear plant is controversial.

Advantages of Conventional Energy
Sources
• Cost:
• Cheaper than non-conventional sources.
• Rs 1.90 per kWh from Gas, Rs 1.65 per kWh from Coal,
Rs 3.0 per kWh from Diesel, Re 1.0 per kWh from
Hydro, Rs 1.20 per kWh from Nuclear.
• High energy yield ratio
• Security:
• Storage is easy
• Convenience:
• Very convenient to use as technology for there conversion
& their use is universally available.
Advantages of Non - Conventional
Energy Sources
• Available in nature free of cost
• Produce no or very little pollution.
• Thus it is environment freely.
• Inexhaustible

Disadvantages of Non - Conventional
Energy Sources
• Dilute form
• High cost of harnessing
• Availability is uncertain; depends on
various natural phenomenon.
• Difficulty in transporting

Conventional Sources : Hydro
• Generation of electricity from
• Huge capital Investment
• Global installed generating capacity is about
7,78,038 MW, which accounts for about 20% of
the world’s total installed electric power
generation capacity & 3% of the world’s primary
energy supply.
Conventional Sources : Nuclear
• Least cost, low emission technology
• Complete fission of one kg of uranium contains
the energy equivalent to 3100 tons of coal or
1700 tons of oil.
• The total amount of uranium and thorium in the
earth's crust, to a depth of 5 kilometers, is
estimated approximately 1012 tonnes.

Non-Conventional Sources : Solar
• Major source of power.
• Utilized by using thermal & photovoltaic
conversion system.
• Solar PV power is an expensive source of power.
• At present capital cost of solar PV system is Rs
200 per W (Rs 20 crore/MW as against Rs 4
crore/MW for coal fired thermal plant)

“Garvi Gujarat”
Chief Minister of the western
Indian state of Gujarat
Narendra Modi movements as
he poses at the initiation of a
solar farm in the village of
Gunthawada, Banaskantha
district, some 175kms. from
Ahmedabad on October 14,
2011. Modi initiated the 30MW
solar farm - said to be Asia's
largest - which has been set up
by Moser Baer Clean Energy.

Non-Conventional Sources : Wind
• Most economical over all renewable sources.
• Installation cost : Rs 4 crore/MW
• Wind power installations worldwide have crossed
94,100 (at the end of 2007), which is about 1% of
world’s electric power generation capacity.
• Germany is the world leader in wind power with
an installed capacity of 22,247 MW.

Non-Conventional Sources : Biomass
• Energy resources available from animal and vegetation are
called..
• The principal biomass resources are:
• Trees (wood, leaves & forest industry waste)
• Cultivated plants grown for energy
• Urban waste (municipal & Industrial waste)
• Rural waste (Agriculture & animal waste, crop residue, etc.)
• Biomass material transformed by chemical & biological process
to produce bio fuels such as biogas (methane), producer gas,
ethanol.
• Most of biogas plants are in china.
Non-Conventional Sources : Geothermal
• relating to the heat in the interior of the
earth.
• Globally use of geothermal power is
growing annually at a rate of about 3%
electrical & 7.5% thermal.
07/05/2015
14
Non-Conventional Sources : Ocean Tidal
• Form of hydro power that convert ocean tides
into electricity or other forms of power.
• Diff of high tide and low tide
• Tides are more predictable than wind and
solar power.
• First & biggest, 240 MW power plant built in
1966 in France.
Non-Conventional Sources : Ocean Wave
• Refers to the energy of ocean surface waves and
the capture of that energy to do useful work.
• Waves are caused by transfer of energy from
surface winds to the sea.
• The rate of energy transfer depends upon the wind
speed &the distance over which it interact with
water.
• The energy flux in waves is more than that available
from solar, wind and other renewable sources.
• World’s first 2250MW- Portugal

Non - Conventional Sources : Ocean
Thermal Energy
• Conceived by a French physicist d’arsonval
in 1881 and verified by one of his student.
• Small design finalized.
• Still in its infant stage.
