India, faced with multiple challenges on energy and environmental front, has no option but to work towards increasing the role of renewable in the future energy systems. Renewable energy sources and technologies have potential to provide solutions to the long-standing energy problems being faced by the developing countries. In this article, the availability, current status, major achievements and future potentials of renewable energy options in India are summarized.
The renewable energy sources like wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, Tidal/Ocean energy, biomass energy and fuel cell technology can be used to overcome energy shortages.
Renewable energy technologies vary widely in their technological maturity and commercial status. In India, renewable energy is at the take-offstage and businesses, industry, government and customers have a large number of issues to address before these technologies could make a real penetration. India with large renewable energy resources (solar PV, wind, solar heating, small hydro and biomass) is to set to have large-scale development and deployment of renewable energy projects.
Different Renewable Energy Sources (RES): 1.
Wind Power: Wind energy is very promising alternative energy source of the future. Over the years, there has been considerable increase amount of energy produced by wind-driven turbines due to recent advancement in the turbine technologies. As of June 2018, the installed capacity of wind power in India was 34,293 MW. India has set an ambitious target to generate 60,000 MW of electricity from wind power by 2022. MNRE announced a new wind-solar hybrid policy in May 2018 which means that the same piece of land will be used to house both wind farms and solar panels.
