NON-CONVENTIONAL ENERGY SOURCES:
Non-conventional energy resources are defined
as those resources which cannot be depleted
at any point of time and henceforth are called
the renewables.
Solar Tower Dimensions
Tower 1,000 metres high , 130 metres diameter
Collector 7000 metres diameter glass/polycarbonate/plastic film
Turbines 32 units X 6.25 MegaWatt
Land 4,000 hectares under option
Construction 34 months
Jobs 1200+ at peak of construction
Capacity 200 MegaWatt (200,000 Households)
MERITS:
This unique chimney is also helpful for green house effect .
There is zero power input by us to which there is an output.
NO CORBON DIOXIDE
Every process involving production of power has carbon dioxide as an unavoidable waste product. But here there is no combustion and no carbon dioxide.
DEMERITS
Solar electricity is expensive than electricity generated by other sources.
On cloudy days it will not be possible to generate solar energy.
The output is highly dependent on natural run-off.
USES IN INDIA :
A tropical country like India can potentially generate 200 MW power and this can be of great importance when utilized properly.
CONCLUSION :
A resource energy , which could not exhaust soon.
A working medium that is omnipresent .
An exhaust that doesn’t harm the atmosphere.
A massive energy output, which has become invincible
