The Power resources other than the traditional fossil and Mineral sources are known as ‘Non Conventional Power Resources’. They include Solar energy, Wind energy, Bio-gas, Sea waves, Biomass and geo-thermal etc.
These reasources are inexhaustible and renewable in nature. Importance :
- These Power resources are found in abudance, pollution free, eco-friendly and not harm to the eco-system.
- They can be very conveniently supplied to urban as well as rural areas.
- In India conventional power resources are inadequate. Recently the rate of energy consumption has been increased.
- Hence there is urgent need to harness other alternative power resources.
- Top priority has been given for the development of non conventional power resources.
- They are capable of solving the requirements. Such as supply of energy in decentralized manner and have sustainable environment.
- Thus the development of the these power resources is very essential.
