Introduction to Renewable Energy Presented by Prof. Dr. M. Ruhul Amin Bhuiyan 15/02/2017 Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Manisa Celal Bayar University, TURKEY

Energy We use energy every day of our lives - our electronic devices require electricity for power, our streetlights need the same for lighting, our vehicles require gas and petrolium. We fuel our homes with electricity from a national or local grid for lighting, heating and for powering our devices. We are collecting this literature on a website that is hosted on a server that needs power, as does the computer with which you are viewing the site. The places we work use computers, phone networks, security systems and servers, as do our shopping malls, parking lots, sports stadiums, cars, airplanes and so on. All of these things require energy or power.

Source of Energy Traditional Energy Source: Coal, Oil or petroleum and Gas. Renewable Energy Source: Solar, Wind, Water, Geothermal, Biomass, Wave/Tidal

Traditional energy Coal is composed of plant materials that have slowly been shaped by pressure and heat under the Earth's surface to become black or brown rock. Coal can be found on the surface and underground. After coal is mined, it is used as an energy source without refining. Coal is then burned in a boiler to produce steam. This steam can power turbine to generate electricity. Oil or Petroleum includes mixtures of liquid hydrocarbons and is formed in sedimentary basins by the organic matter left behind by receding oceans. Petroleum can be in semisolid, liquid or gas form. Petroleum is used in gasoline, detergent, plastic, jet and diesel fuel, synthetic rubber, and other consumer products. Natural gas is composed of gaseous hydrocarbons, such as methane. It is used to generate electricity and produce heat. Additionally, chemicals derived from natural gas, such as hydrocarbon gas liquids, are used to produce plastics, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Natural gas can be used for space and water heating.

Renewable Energy  Renewable energies are those generated from sources that do not have a finite end, or those that can be recycled, typically from natural sources-like solar power, wind power and water power. These are the examples that we think about most when we hear the term “renewable energy” but they are not the only sources.  That is collected from renewable resources, which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, water, geothermal heat, biomass and waves/tides.  Renewable energy often provides energy in four important areas: electricity generation, air and water heating/cooling, transportation, and rural (off-grid) energy services.  It can also to reduce carbon emissions and limit the global average temperature change.

Importance of Renewable Energy Environmental Benefits Renewable energy technologies are clean sources of energy that have a much lower environmental impact than conventional energy technologies. Energy for our next generation Renewable energy will not run out. Its for ever. Other sources of energy are finite and will some day be depleted.
