Renewable Energy Sources,Technologies and Protection Challenges in Indian Context: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract
The prime requirement for the improvement of quality of life and the socio-economic condition of any nation is the clean and environment friendly energy harvesting. India, the 2nd highest populous country with a population of 1.39 billion is one of the largest consumers of using fossil fuels in the world. Limited availability of the fossil fuels may obstruct the future socio-economic development. Hence India government motivates the use of renewable energy sources. The renewable energy sources like solar, wind and biomass etc will never diminish their availability. Sunlight is used to meet ever increasing energy need. The literature analysis shows that in India fossil fuels still continues to contribute 80% and renewable energy sources around 20% of the total electricity generation. It is now of prime importance to focus on the technologies and the protection challenges of renewable energy sources in Indian context. The author has reviewed more than 300 research articles and presented various analysis reports. This will definitely help the researchers to find the lacuna behind less contribution of the renewable energy sources.
