To add to this further, the future progress and development of any country is judged by its capacity to harness the renewable sources of energy like wind, solar and geothermal energy. Of the various forms of renewable energies available, wind energy happens to be the cleanest. Though India is still primarily dependent on coal and petroleum as major sources of energy, it has become one of the major players in the production of wind power energy mainly due to the tremendous support from the Government of India and also of the huge coastal stretch. Currently it ranks third in the world in the production of wind power energy with wind energy accounting for 70% of the total energy supplied by nonconventional energy sources. This is more so important as energy demand is likely to increase by three times between 2005 to 2030. Keeping in mind that much remains to be done before its full potential is to be attained, the current paper attempts to present a brief review of the wind energy potential of India, its challenges, and possible suggestions to improve its present capacity.","PeriodicalId":109404,"journal":{"name":"2014 1st International Conference on Non Conventional Energy (ICONCE 2014)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126894239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing an approach of simulation at test loading of conventional system, we propose a system to decrease the total loss by using hybrid thermal-wind power system.

As the world is facing critical problem of energy deficit, global warming and detoriation of environment and energy sources, renewable energy sources are getting more attention. Solar energy is one of the comparable candidates. Solar energy is widely available and it is free of cost. Solar energy can be converted into direct current electricity by PV effect. We are also trying on the practical usage of static electricity. In this paper, we study about the utilization of solar energy and building solar wall system. A significant amount of research and development work on the photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) technology has been carried out in developed nations, but that was not the case in India. Building integrated photovoltaic system (BIPV) can be considered as economical system by taking advantage of PV technology and providing benefits in addition to energy production like weatherproofing, insulation, and even structural strength to the building. Ventilation system with power generation is not been developed in India. A range of theoretical models have been introduced and their appropriateness validated by simulation as well as suitable experiments.

Wind data from 1997 to 2007 are analysed to evaluate the capacity of wind power at the site. The design wind speed 14 m/sec is found with 2.5 Weibull k-factor. The hump of the ridge line is considered for installation of wind turbine. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of the wind profile is carried out for the DEM of the area to obtain optimum height 8m of wind turbine tower. The standard IEC 61400-2 is adopted for designing S-special class small wind turbine for average rated wind speed 14 m/s. The wind turbine blade is selected after considering its fatigue and permissible bending stress at extreme wind speed of 35 m/sec at the site during 1997-2007. CFD analysis at different wind speed and angle of attack is carried out on the selected blade airfoil NACA 23015 for their optimum value. Lift and drag force coefficients are analyzed at various velocity and angle of attack with the help of ANSYS Fluent software. The cut-in speed of wind is decreased from 3.5m/s to 3.0 m/s by changing the angle of attack from 14° to 16° and by increasing effective swept area with special attachment to the hub. It helped to increase the efficiency and performance of wind turbine at low wind velocity without changing the blade profile and its length.","PeriodicalId":109404,"journal":{"name":"2014 1st International Conference on Non Conventional Energy (ICONCE 2014)","volume":"2015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125707760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The raw effluent from the brewery waste has COD ranging from 5500 mg/l to 41400 mg/l, with variable flow rate and suspended solids up to 4800 mg/l. The Anaerobic Digestion (AD) treatment uses 900m3 EGSB reactor. The two-year monitoring of data includes Ripley's Ratio, Volatile Fatty Acids, and pH. These parameters indicate lower performance and certain instability before the planned maintenance works, followed by the much improved performance afterwards. The average biogas production is 3540 Nm3/day but the variance of the biogas flow remains an issue. The combined Heat and Power (CHP) production from energy crops uses ensilaged, purposely grown maize with 28-34% dry matter and chop length of 6-9 mm. The available three-year data for this AD facilities indicate great process stability. It uses 150 t/day of maize, and result in energy production of 21 GW/year which is 7000 homes equivalent. This energy is evenly split between the sewage treatment works and injection to the public electricity grid. Depending on the dry solids content, the digestate is either stored and spread on the land, or sold to farmers.","PeriodicalId":109404,"journal":{"name":"2014 1st International Conference on Non Conventional Energy (ICONCE 2014)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132842725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
