Importance of Non-conventional Energy Sources
• Because of rapid industrialization & populationgrowth, conventional sources will not sufficient tomeet growing demand.
• Conventional sources are non-renewable & bound tofinish up 1-day.
• Conventional sources cause pollution
• Large hydro resources affect wildlife, causedeforestation and pose various social problem.
• Safety of nuclear plant is controversial.

Advantages of Conventional EnergySources
• Cost:
• Cheaper than non-conventional sources.
• Rs 1.90 per kWh from Gas, Rs 1.65 per kWh from Coal,Rs 3.0 per kWh from Diesel, Re 1.0 per kWh fromHydro, Rs 1.20 per kWh from Nuclear.
• High energy yield ratio
• Security:
• Storage is easy
• Convenience:
• Very convenient to use as technology for there conversion& their use is universally available.
Advantages of Non - ConventionalEnergy Sources
• Available in nature free of cost
• Produce no or very little pollution.
• Thus it is environment freely.
• Inexhaustible

Disadvantages of Non - ConventionalEnergy Sources
• Dilute form
• High cost of harnessing
• Availability is uncertain; depends onvarious natural phenomenon.
• Difficulty in transporting

Conventional Sources : Hydro
• Generation of electricity from
• Huge capital Investment
• Global installed generating capacity is about7,78,038 MW, which accounts for about 20% ofthe world’s total installed electric powergeneration capacity & 3% of the world’s primaryenergy supply.
Conventional Sources : Nuclear
• Least cost, low emission technology
• Complete fission of one kg of uranium containsthe energy equivalent to 3100 tons of coal or1700 tons of oil.
• The total amount of uranium and thorium in theearth's crust, to a depth of 5 kilometers, isestimated approximately 1012 tonnes.

Non-Conventional Sources : Solar
• Major source of power.
• Utilized by using thermal & photovoltaicconversion system.
• Solar PV power is an expensive source of power.
• At present capital cost of solar PV system is Rs200 per W (Rs 20 crore/MW as against Rs 4crore/MW for coal fired thermal plant)
