Renewable Energy ?
Renewable
energy is the
term used for
energy flows
occurring
naturally and
repeatedly at a
rate such that it
is replenished at
the same rate as
they are used.
Sun, Gravity,
Tidal, Biomass
etc.
Solar energy
The solar constant:- it is the rate at which energy is received from the
sun on a unit area perpendicular to the rays of the sun, at the mean
distance of earth from sun. Isc= 1367 w/m2
Motion of the earth around
sun
Definition of angles for solar
beam
1. Solar zenith angle (ΦZ):- angle b/w solar beam and normal to
horizontal plane.
2. Air mass ( AMR ):- it is the measure of path length of radiation
through the atmosphere. Secant ΦZ
3. Solar altitude (aa):- angle made by solar beam with the horizontal.
aa = 90 – ΦZ
4. solar azimuth angle :- this is the angle between projection of solar
beam on horizontal plane and the longitude meridian.
5. Hour angle :- The hour angle for any particular position p is the
angle through which earth has rotated since solar noon.
w = 15 ( tsolar – 12h )
Unit of solar Radiation :- 1 Langley = 1 cal/cm2
= 1.163*10-2 kWh/m2
Instrument used for measuring
solar Radiation and sunshine
 Pyranometer :- measure Global solar radiation.
 Pyrheliometer :-Measure direct( Beam ) Radiation.
 Campbell stokes sunshine Recorder :-
measure no. of insolation Hour. ( incident solar radiation for specific
period)
 Albedometer :- measure both global and reflected radiation.
1.Pyranometer
2. pyrheliometer
3. Sunshine Recorder 4. Albedometer
Application of Solar Thermal
Energy
 Water Heating
 Space Heating
 Space cooling and
Refrigeration
 Power Generation
 Distillation
 Drying
 cooking
Solar Distillation
Wind Energy
 The wind has
energy in the form
of kinetic energy
which can be
harnessed too
produce electric
energy.
 Tip speed ratio
Ration of the speed
of the blade tip to the
free stream velocity.
 Solidity
The ration of blade
area to frontal area of
the machine.
Tidal Energy
 Tidal energy is power produced by the surge of ocean waters during the rise and fall of
tides.
 Tidal Range:- it is difference between water level of consecutive high and low tides.
 Spring Tides:- when sun, Earth and moon are aligned in conjugation, the lunar and solar
tides are in phase and hence produces the maximum range.
 Neap tides:- when sun- Earth and Moon –Earth direction are perpendicular , the range of
tides is least. The corresponding tides are known as neap tides.
