Advantages of
Photovoltaic systems

Ø PV arrays can  be installed quickly


and in any size required or allowed.

Ø The environmental impact is minimal,


requiring no water for system cooling
and generating no by-products.

How it is Generated

Wind power is generarated by


using wind mill.
A Windmill captures wind energy and then uses
a generator to convert it to electrical energy

BIO FUEL
Biofuel
Ø Biofuel is usually either a
Bioalcohol,ethanol fuel biodiesel or
vegetable oil, Biogas and Biomass
Types of bio fuel
(1) Biodiesel
Ø Biodiesel is made
by chemically-
reacting lipids,
typically
vegetable oil or
animal and
alcohol.
Types of bio fuel
(2) ETHANOL FUEL

Ethanol are produced


from corn,
cornstalks,
sugarbeets, sugar
cane.
Types of bio fuel
(3) Biogas

Ø Biogas can easily be


produced from
current waste
streams, such as
paper production,
sugar production,
sewage, animal
waste.
Types of bio fuel
(4) Solid biomass

Ø Sources include
wood fuel, the
biogenic portion of
municipal solid
waste, or the
unused portion of
field crops.
Conclusion
Ø It is poised to grow due to the mature
technology and easy installation.

Ø However, after ten to fifteen years, it will


be solar and bio-fuels which will be major
front runners for renewable energy usage.

Ø Now a days it is clear that global warming


phenomenon will force us to use
renewable technologies.
