Feasibility Study of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems in Kerala, India (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783668544000)

Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Engineering - Power Engineering, grade: A, Government Engineering College Thrissur, language: English, abstract: The study conducts a feasibility analysis on Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (HRES) in Kerala for sustainable and efficient methods of energy production. Energy is a vital input in all sectors of any country's economy. It is crucial for human development index as human development is positively correlated to energy consumption. Until the late 1980's energy has been generated largely by burning coal, hydrocarbon oil and natural gas leading to huge carbon emissions. Hence, environmental crises have become a critical concern for the world today. Emission of greenhouse gases, limited coal availability, environment distortion, rising prices of fossil fuels and pressure on foreign exchange reserves have created hindrance in the prolongation of these resources. Therefore, a new energy economy is developing. This new energy economy generates energy from wind, sun and through heat within earth itself. Energy generated by burning fossil fuels damages the environment and causes climate change. However, energy based on renewable sources in general, wind and solar energy specifically, does not affect the environment that adversely, which conventional energy sources do.
