Renewable resources of energy in India are natural resources that can be refilledby natural processes at a rate analogous or faster than its speed of consumptionby humans Solar radiation tides winds and hydroelectricity are permanentresources and are considered as renewable resources of energy as they do nothave the hazard of non availability Renewable resources may also mean
commodities such as wood paper and leather if harvesting is performed in asustainable manner Some natural renewable resources of energy in India includegeothermal power fresh water timber and biomass A life cycle evaluationprovides a systematic means of estimating renew ability of these resources Theterm renewable resources have an implication of sustainability of the naturalenvironment Gasoline coal oil and natural gas diesel and other commoditiesderived from fossil fuels are non-renewable resources of energy in India Unlike fossil fuels a renewable resource can have a sustainable yield
Solar Energy as Renewable Resource of Energy
Solar energy is one of the most important and oldest renewable resources of energy in India It is the energy derived directly from the Sun Along with nuclearenergy it is the most abundant source of energy on Earth Solar energy is thefastest growing type of alternative energy that is increasing at 50 percent a yearIt is the photovoltaic cell which converts sunlight directly into electricity The Sun
yearly delivers more than 10000 times the energy that humans presently useThere are a variety of technologies coming up around the world which could bereplicated to use solar energy Cooking water heating lighting and open airdrying applications are common now-a-days which use solar energy There arealso other applications like desalination solar vehicles agriculture etc which arecoming up
Wind Energy as Renewable Resource of Energy Wind power is resultant from uneven heating of the Earth`s surface from the Sunand the warm centre Most modern wind power is generated in the form of electricity by converting the rotation of turbine blades into electrical currentthrough an electrical generator Windmills is a much older technology thatgenerated wind energy and is used to turn mechanical machinery to do physicalwork like crushing grain or pumping water The wind energy potential of India isabout 45000 MW out of which power of 8748 MW has been installed in India till31st March 2008 India is one of the most important countries in generating thepower through wind energy
Wind Power in India has made a significant role in the domain of energy resourcesIndia now ranks as a wind superpower with an installed wind power capacity of almost 1167 MW and about 5 billion units of electricity have been supplied to thenational grid till date The wind resource assessment programme includes windmonitoring and wind mapping that covers 800 stations in 24 states with 193 wind-monitoring stations in operations Altogether 13 states of India acquire a netpotential of about 45000 MW wind energy The development of wind power in

India beganin the 1990s
and has significantly increased in the last few years
Hydropower as Renewable Resource of Energy Hydropower is another form of renewable resources of energy in India obtainedfrom the movement of water in rivers and oceans (or other energy sources)Water can likewise be used to generate electricity using turbines or can be usedmechanically to do useful work It is a very common resource of energy in IndiaIndia has a whole hydro energy prospective of about 15 lakh MW of which about20 percent is installed Small hydro plant potential is about 15000 MW and most of it is in the northern and eastern hilly regions
India is gifted with economically exploitable and feasible hydro potential assessedto be about 84000 MW at 60 percent load factor In addition 6780 MW in termsof installed capacity from Small Mini and Micro Hydel schemes have beenassessed in India Some of the advantages of Hydro Power include saving scarce
fuel reserves cost of generation operation and maintenance is far lower than theother sources of energy ability to start and stop quickly and immediate loadacceptance makes it suitable to meet peak demand and for enhancing systemreliability and stability has higher efficiency (over 90 percent) compared tothermal (35 percent) and gas (around 50 percent) and so on
Solar Energy as Renewable Resource of Energy Solar water heaters have proved the most popular so far and solar photovoltaic fordecentralised power supply is fast becoming popular all across the rural andremote areas More than 700000 PV systems generating 44 MW have beeninstalled all over the Indian states Under the water pumping programme morethan 3000 systems have been installed so far and the market for solar lighting andsolar pumping is far from getting saturated Solar drying is one area which offersvery good scenario in food agricultural and chemical products drying applications
More than 700000 PV systems of capacity over 44MW for different solarapplications are installed all over India The market segment and usage is mainlyfor home lighting street lighting solar lanterns and water pumping for irrigationAs the demand for power grows in the nation traditional fuel based power-generating capacity also grows SPV based power generation is believed to be asource to cater to the expected deficits Especially in rural areas where thelikelihood of conventional electric lines is remote SPV power generation hasbecome best choice
Geothermal power as Renewable Resource of Energy

Indian geothermal power is another active renewable resources of energy in Indiathat have the capacity to produce 10600 MW of power- a figure which is five timegreater than the combined power being produced from non-conventional energysources such as wind solar and biomass With escalating environmental problemswith coal based projects India has to depend on clean cheap rural based andeco-friendly geothermal power in future Nuclear power is the fourth-largestsource of electricity in India after thermal hydro and renewable sources of
electricity in India As of 2008 India has 17 nuclear power plants in operationgenerating almost 4120 MW while 6 other are under construction and areexpected to generate an additional of 3160 MW approximately
Geothermal power directly exploits the natural flow of heat from the ground Theaccessible energy from natural decay of radioactive elements in the earths crustand mantle is roughly equal to that of incoming solar energy particularly duringthe day Oils from plants and seeds are often used as a replacement for non-renewable diesel Methane is also considered as a renewable source of energyused in some Indian factories Nuclear power or a breeder reactor is often used asrenewable resources of energy
India is blessed with abundance of water sunlight and biomass Dynamic effortsduring the past two decades are now bearing fruit as people in all walks of lifehave become more aware of the benefits of renewable energy India has the
world`s largest programme for renewable energy Government created theDepartment of Non-conventional Energy Sources (DNES) in 1982 A completeMinistry of Non-conventional Energy Sources was established in 1992 and thePrime Minister controls the activities of this ministry The activities of thisdepartment promote renewable energy technologies an environment conducive topromote renewable energy technologies and renewable energy resourceassessment Creating an environment conducive for their commercialisationresearch development and production of biogas units solar thermal devicessolar photovoltaics cook stoves wind energy and small hydropower units are alsosome more responsibilities of the ministry
As of 2009 survey India stands 9th in the world in regards to number of operational nuclear power reactors India stands at a promising position to acquireone of the most prestigious rankings as a supreme nation using renewableresources of energy at its best
