The electricity requirements of the world are increasing at alarming rate and the power demand has been running ahead of supply. It is also now widely recognized that the fossil fuels (i.e., coal, petroleum and natural gas) and other conventional resources, presently being used for generation of electrical energy, may not be either sufficient or suitable to keep pace with ever increasing demand of the electrical energy of the world. Also generation of electrical power by cold based steam power plant or nuclear power plants causes pollution, which is likely to be more acute in future due to large generating capacity on one side and greater awareness of the people in this respect.

Renewable energy is at the heart of the effort to transform the energy system to make it less carbon intensive, sustainable and compatible with the internationally adopted climate goals.

Renewable energy technologies are now a major global industry. Wind and solar PV have led recent growth in renewables-based capacity, though hydropower and bioenergy remain by far the largest source of supply. Renewables have overtaken coal as the largest source of power generation capacity and are the second-largest source of electricity supply. Renewables make a modest contribution to heat and transport and while progress is slower they have huge potential in these sectors.

These issues and others will be presented in the lecture.
