 INTRODUCTION

 Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable

resources. For example.
 Sunlight

 Wind

 Tides

 Geothermal energy
 HISTORY
 oldest known use of renewable energy in the form of
traditional biomass to fuel fires

 second oldest usage of renewable energy is harnessing the

wind in order to drive ships over water

 Moving into the time of recorded history, the primary

sources of traditional renewable energy were human labor,
animal power, water power (water mills)
TYPES

 WIND POWER

 HYDROPOWER

 SOLAR ENERGY

 GEOTRHERMAL ENERGY

 BIO ENERGY
 WIND POWER

 Airflows can be used to run wind turbines.

 Areas where winds are stronger and more
constant, such as offshore and high altitude
sites, are preferred locations for wind farms.
 wind turbines range from around 600 kW to 5
MW of rated power,
 Wind-generated electricity met nearly 4% of
global electricity.
 IN Denmark, wind energy met more than 40%
of its electricity demand.
 HYDROPOWER

 Since ancient times, hydropower from many kinds of

watermills has been used as a renewable energy source for
irrigation and the operation of various mechanical devices.
 In the late 19th century, hydropower became a source for
generating electricity.
 water is about 800 times denser than air, even a slow
flowing stream of water, or moderate sea swell, can yield
considerable amounts of energy.
 hydropower generated 16.6% of the worlds total electricity
and 70% of all renewable electricity.
 GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

 Earth's internal heat is thermal energy generated

from continual heat loss from Earth's formation.
 Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated
and stored in the Earth.
 In the 20th century, demand for electricity led to
the consideration of geothermal power as a
generating source
 In 1892, America's first district heating system in
Boise, Idaho was powered directly by geothermal
energy,
 SOLAR ENERGY
 Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into
electricity

 either directly using photovoltaics (PV), indirectly using

concentrated solar power

 Photovoltaic cells convert light into an electric current using

the photovoltaic effect.

 Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and

tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small
beam.
 In 2017, solar power provided 1.7% of total worldwide
electricity production.
 BIOMASS ENERGY
 Biomass is organic material that comes from plants and
animals.

 Biomass contains stored energy from the sun. Plants

absorb the sun's energy in a process called
photosynthesis.

 Biomass can be burned directly or converted to liquid

biofuels or biogas that can be burned as fuels.
 EXAMPLES OF BIOMASS
ENERGY
 Wood and wood processing wastes—burned to heat buildings,
to produce process heat in industry, and to generate
electricity.

 Agricultural crops and waste materials—burned as a fuel or

converted to liquid biofuels.

 Food, yard, and wood waste in garbage—burned to generate

electricity in power plants or converted to biogas in landfills.

 Animal manure and human sewage—converted to biogas,

which can be burned as a fuel
 DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
 2015 was the first year when investment in non-hydro
renewables, was higher in developing countries, with $156
billion invested, mainly in China, India, and Brazil.

 Renewable energy can be particularly suitable for developing

countries. In rural and remote areas, transmission and
distribution of energy generated from fossil fuels can be
difficult and expensive.

 many developing countries have demonstrated that renewable

energy can directly contribute to poverty reduction.
 ENVIRNMENTAL IMPACTS

 renewable sources such as wind power, photovoltaics, and

hydroelectricity have the advantage of being able to
conserve water, lower pollution and reduce CO2 emissions.

 biomass contribute to a reduction in CO2 emissions because

biomass emit large amounts of air pollution when burned .

 Fluids drawn from the deep earth carry a mixture of gases,

notably carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, methane ,
ammonia, These pollutants contribute to global warming,
acid rain, radiation and noxious smells if released.
