    The document discusses various energy sources including primary and secondary sources. Primary energy is extracted directly from the environment while secondary energy is converted from primary sources like electricity or fuel. It then discusses the history and projections of global energy use by fuel type. Non-renewable energy sources like coal, petroleum, natural gas and nuclear are formed from dead plants and animals over millions of years. Renewable energy sources include hydroelectric, solar, biomass, wind, geothermal and ocean, which are naturally replenished. Factors like climate change concerns, high oil prices and government support are leading to increased usage of renewable energy. The document concludes by discussing integration of various renewable energy sources like solar, wind

    Energy Sources
    • Primary and secondary sources of energy are
    the two main sources of energy as shown last
    slide figure.
    • Primary energy is extracted or captured
    directly from the environment, while the
    secondary energy is converted from the
    primary energy in the form of electricity or
    fuel.
    History and projections of energy use
    by fuel type in the world
    World Primary Energy Demand
    Global Energy consumption and share
    of RES in 2010
    Past Grid system
    Present grid system
    Future grid system
    Non Renewable Energy Sources
    • It is generally accepted that nonrenewable energy sources or
    fossil fuels are formed from the remains of dead plants and
    animals by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth’s crust
    over the millions of years. Major nonrenewable energy
    sources are:
    • Coal
    • Petroleum
    • Natural gas
    • Nuclear
    • Fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include
    mainly coal, petroleum and natural gas.
    Renewable Energy Sources

    • Renewable energy comes from natural resources and are


    naturally replenished.
    • Major renewable energy sources are:
    • Hydroelectric
    • Solar energy
    • Biomass
    • Wind
    • Geothermal heat
    • Ocean
    • In its various forms, renewable energy comes directly from the
    sun, or from heat generated deep within the earth
    • Climate change concerns, high oil prices, and government
    support are leading to increase in renewable energy usage
    and commercialization
    • New and emerging renewable energy technologies are still
    under development and include cellulosic ethanol, hot dry
    rock geothermal power, and ocean energy.
    • Renewable energy generally gets cheaper in the long term,
    while fossil fuels generally get more expensive.
    • Fossil fuel technologies are more mature, while renewable
    energy technologies are being rapidly improved to increase
    the efficiency of renewable energy and reduce its cost. In rural
    and remote areas, transmission and distribution of energy
    generated from fossil fuels can be difficult and expensive.
    • Therefore producing renewable energy locally can offer a
    viable alternative.
