Future scenario of Renewable Energy Resource in India


Future scenario of Renewable Energy Resource in India:
The Indian Government has increased the target of renewable energy capacity to 175 GW by the year 2022, which includes 100 GW ( gigawatts) from solar, 60 GW from wind, 10 GW from bio-power & 5 GW from small hydro-power.

Future Scenario of Solar Energy:
*     Solar power in India is a fast developing industry.
*     The country’s solar installed capacity reached 29.55 GW as of 30 June 2019.
*     India has become globally the lowest cost producer of solar power.
*     The Indian Government has increased the target of renewable energy capacity to 175 GW by the year 2022, which includes 100 GW from solar.
Advantage:
  1. Advantage of using solar energy is its eco-friendly nature.
  2. It does not release CO2 and other harmful gases which responsible for global warming.
  3. The solar energy sector will act as a base of sustainable development for India.
  4. Solar energy will generate space for employment and will help make Indian economy strong.
Future Scenario of Wind Energy:
*     Wind power accounts for 10% of India’s total installed power capacity.
*     The fourth largest installed wind power capacity in the world.
*     The Indian Government has increased the target of renewable energy capacity to 175 GW by the year 2022, which includes 60 GW from wind.
Advantage:
  1. Advantage of using this energy is its eco-friendly nature.
  2. It does not release CO2 and other harmful gases which responsible for global warming.
  3. This energy generated without polluting environment.
  4. Wind energy can be used directly as mechanical energy.
Future Scenario of Bio-Power:
*     In India, the estimated for the production of biogas is about 20757 lakh cubic meters in 2014-15.
*     This is equivalent to 5 % of the total LPG consumption in the country today.
*     The Indian Government has increased the target of renewable energy capacity to 175 GW by the year 2022, which includes 10 GW from Bio-Power.
Advantage:
  1. Advantage of using this energy is its eco-friendly nature.
  2. It does not release CO2 and other harmful gases which responsible for global warming.
  3. It can provide distributed energy generation, thereby providing much-needed energy for remote locations and villages.
  4. In many case, it provides a beneficial way of disposing organic waste.
Future Scenario of Hydro-Power:
*     India is the 7th largest producer of hydroelectric power in the world.
*     As 0f 30 April 2017, India’s installed utility-scale hydroelectric capacity was 13.5% of its total utility power generation capacity.
*     The Indian Government has increased the target of renewable energy capacity to 175 GW by the year 2022, which includes 5 GW from Hydro-Power.
Advantage:
  1. Advantage of using this energy is its eco-friendly nature.
  2. It does not release CO2 and other harmful gases which responsible for global warming.
  3. Compare to among others fossil fuels and nuclear energy, hydroelectricity is much safety.
  4. It is very reliable energy.

Concentric zone theory

Theories of City Structure-Concentric Zone Theory Introduction: The Concentric or Zonal Theory of urban landuse was first proposed in 1923 by E.W. Burgess. He was a sociologist. The idea behind the concentric model is that the development of a city takes place outwards from its central area in a series of concentric circles to form zones.  Assumption:        i.           Cultural & social heterogeneity of the population.       ii.           Commercial-industrial base to the economy of the city.     iii.           Private ownership of property & economic competition for space.     iv.           Expanding area & population of the city.       v.    ...

Deep-Ocean Basin

Abyssal Plain:  Abyssal plains is an underwater plain on the deep ocean floor, usually found at depths between 3000 metres & 6000 metres. Characteristics: a)       Abyssal plain is the most extensive relief zone of the ocean floor. b)      The average slope gradient is almost 0.5ᵒ. c)       It covers nearly 40% of the ocean floor. d)      It is flat & rolling submarine plain. Abyssal Hill:  Abyssal hills a small hill that rises from the floor of an abyssal plain. Characteristics: a)       Covering more than 30% of the ocean floor. b)      Height of this hill is less than 100m. Seamounts: Seamounts is an volcanic projections that developed above the abyssal plains that do not rise above the surface of the sea. Characteristics: a)       Seamounts are circular or elliptical. b) ...

Sources of Water Mass

Sub-surface water masses formation is more active in the North & South Atlantic & the South Pacific & moderately active in the North Pacific. The sub-surface water masses is not active in the Indian Ocean because of its location in the southern hemisphere. The following arte major source areas of the origin of subsurface water masses-                                            i.           Norwegian Sea Area,                                           ii.           Irminger ...
