III. RENEWABLE ENERGY SCENARIO IN INDIAHydro - Falling rainfall can be a very good indicator forpeople to judge those areas where water can be readilyavailable to be used to produce energy from it. This kind ofenergy produced from water is known as hydroelectricenergy. These hydroelectric power plants can then beimplemented in such regions of heavy rainfall. There are 12major such plants in India- 3 in Bihar, 2 in Andhra Pradeshand one in Punjab, Uttaranchal, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh,Sikkim, Jammu and Kashmir and Gujarat each.Biomass - One third contributor of energy to India isbiomass with a potential of 22,536MW – [5] whichcomprises of solid biomass, which is an organic, non-fossilmaterial of biological origins. Biogas which is principallymethane and carbon dioxide is produced by anaerobicdigestion of biomass and combusted to produce heat.Currently, India has 3697MW [6] installed capacity.Following is a list of some States with most potential forbiomass reduction: Andhra Pradesh (200 MW), Bihar (200MW), Gujarat (200 MW), Karnataka (300 MW),Maharashtra (1,000 MW), Punjab (150 MW), Tamil Nadu(350 MW), Uttar Pradesh (1,000 MW) [7].Solar - India being situated between the tropic of cancerand the equator , has an average temperature of 25°C –27.5°C [7] and receives 260-300 clear sunny days per yearmaking it the best solar resource in the world. India has aninstalled power capacity of 1686 MW, making it sixth
