India – Renewable Energy Scenario
Conventional fossil fuel scenario in India
Renewable Energy (RE) Potential
Source Potential in GW Actual Installed Capacity
Biomass 19.5 1.26Solar 20 1.69Wind 47 19.05Small Hydro 15 3.63Ocean(Tidal+Wave) 8 - 20 0.03TOTAL 109.5 26
Total Installed Capacity of all Energy Sources = 210.5 GW
Fuel costs by SourceSource Cost (Rs./kWh)Coal 6.5Natural gas 4.5Biomass 7.8Solar PV 10.4Solar Thermal 16.25Small Hydro 6.0Wind 6.3
New Technologies to lower Solar Costs
•Dye Sensitized Solar Cells
•Use of nanostructured surfaces to absorb more light
•Use of solar concentrators and trackers along with PV systems
•The biggest problem with PV in terms of cost is storage
How to Solve the Storage problem of PV?
Storage Coatings on Solar Cells
