Non-conventional energy sources consist of those energy sources that are infinite, natural, and restorable.
Currently, some of the important and widely used non-conventional sources of energy are tides, wind, solar geothermal heat, and biomass comprising animal waste, agricultural waste, and human body waste. These non-conventional energy sources are unlimited or restorable and are essentially quite economical.
India is one of the fastest growing countries in terms of energy consumption. Currently, it is the fifth largest consumer of energy in the world, and will be the third largest by 2030. The country is heavily dependent on fossil sources of energy for most of its demand. This has necessitated the country to start aggressively pursuing alternative energy sources -solar, wind, biofuels, small hydro and more.
The country has an estimated renewable energy potential of around 85,000 MW from commercially exploitable sources: Wind, 45,000 MW; small hydro, 15,000 MW and biomass/bioenergy, 25,000 MW. In addition, India has the potential to generate 35 MW per square km using solar photovoltaic and solar thermal energy.
It has proposed an addition of 15,000 MW of Renewable Energy generation capacities during the period. Wind Power projects form 70 percent (10,500 MW) of the proposed capacity addition, while Small Hydro Projects (SHP) accounts for 9.3per cent (1,400 MW).
Agriculture plays a vital role in India’s economy. Over 58 per cent of the rural households depend on agriculture as their principal means of livelihood. Agriculture, along with fisheries and forestry, is one of the largest contributors to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
As per estimates by the Central Statistics Office (CSO), the share of agriculture and allied sectors (including agriculture, livestock, forestry and fishery) was 16.1 per cent of the Gross Value Added (GVA) during 2014–15 at 2011–12 prices. During Q1 FY2016, agriculture and allied sectors grew 1.9 per cent year-on-year and contributed 14.2 per cent of GVA.
India ranks third in farm and agriculture outputs. Agricultural export constitutes 10 per cent of the country’s exports and is the fourth-largest exported principal commodity. The agro industry in India is divided into several sub segments such as canned, dairy, processed, frozen food to fisheries, meat, poultry, and food grains.
The Department of Agriculture and Cooperation under the Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for the development of the agriculture sector in India. It manages the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) to develop other allied agricultural sectors.
The power from the sun intercepted by the earth is approximately 1.8 x 1011 MW. In India,' the annual average daily solar radiation received over the whole of the country is around 1800 J/cm2/day. Development of various solar devices for thermal applications such as water heating and space heating, drying, cooking and power generation began during the most centuries.
Solar cooker (used for cooking that involves boiling and roasting of food products) , Solar dryers (used for open sun drying of various agricultural products with the objective of increasing the drying rate and improving quality of the products) , Solar water heater (available in natural convection and forced convection designs; natural convention also known as thermo syphon water heating system) , Solar photovoltaic systems(solar radiation falling on solar cells converted directly into electricity without any environmental pollution; ideal for lifting water for drinking and irrigation without harming the environment) helps farmers in different ways.
Farmers and ranchers get benefit from the growth in the wind industry. Farmers can lease land to wind developers, use the wind to generate power for their farms, or become wind power producers themselves. Small wind generators, ranging from 400 watts to 40 kilowatts or more, can meet the needs of an entire farm or can be ta
