Introduction
Renewable source of energy is special type of energy sources which could be collected from
nature such as sun light, ocean tides, earth heat, wind and etc. It is majorly used to provide
energy to area like electricity, water cooling, transportation and gridig services energy. Based
on latest research of REN21, the renewable source of energy system has 19.3% contribution in
consumption of energy on world wide. There are more than 30 countries in world have already
deployed use of renewable source of energy on national level and will increase in coming years.
But selection of right renewable energy system with consideration of size and social impacts are
interconnected with each other. Since a renewable energy that is suited to rural area and
remote area has crucial participation. In this research work, analysis of most fabour renwable
sources of power along with their suitability in different environment and process of power
generation has been covered. Electrification with the renewable source could motivate people
to use renewable power where they can make use of it because it is most efficient, easy to use
and generate clean energy, which has negligible impacts on environment and society.
Task1
(a) Illustration of renewable energy source
The four type of renewable energy sources which are higly used along with process of power
generation with schematic diagram has been illustrated below:
Solar energy
A solar panel has made of six different modules but the most important is photovoltaic cell. This
is the one which generate power. The process of development of electricity from sunlight is
called photovoltaic effect. To create a solar panel there are many photovoltaic cells used and all
cells create current to add proper energy for home. On rooftop of the system a standard penal
used of 60cells which are linked to each other.
It is widely used source of energy that turns light of sun to the electrically usable form. In
conversion of light into electricity it go through three different steps.
 Absorbation of light and knocking for loose of electron
In first step, light strikes on rooftop of solar panel that consist photovoltaic cell and
absorbed by help of silicon semiconductors. The light energy causes to loose the electron
which is available in silicon and transforms into solar power.
 Flow of loose electron and development of current

In photovoltaic cells, there are two layer of silicon material is being used and both of them
separately generate electric field. Means it can be said that one size has a positive area and
other side has negative area. The charged field enforce the loose electron to flow in specific
direction from solar cell, produce electricity.
 Collection of current and transferring to cables
After generation of electrical current by the help of electrons, metal plates of solar cells
collect them and transfer to the wire. On this peak time an electron flow through wiring
from solar inverter to home.

Wind energy
Air in motion which can vary from in different region. The world has inexhaustible wind supply
in every corner. Due to annual season variation, geographical location and flat land, some
region get more power of wind supply than others. It is a free reneawable source of energy. A
wind panel could generate electrical energy by use of electrical generator within the rotating
shafts that is connected wo the sails of windmills. A latest windmill which use kinetic power of
wind to generate electrical power called wind turbine. The wind turbine is a type of wind
generator that can efficiently generate the enery than traditional windmill. In this process the

wind enfore the turbine blades which is interlinked in centre and rotate a generate on higher
process which result in generation of electricity.
So the calculation of total energy on surface area A and time t is equal to
Figure 1 Electrical energy generation using wind power
Hydropower
Hydro-electric energy energy source makes with the utilization of catching the progression of
high ebb and flow water and transmits it into power. The most broad class of Hydro-electric
energy energy source us hydroelectric power age plant that utilizes a dam situated on the
waterway. This sort of energy source utilizes the potential intensity of the stream and supplies
17.5% of power to the entire world. The utilization of hydroelectric power age is connected to
top interest since it tends to be effectively taken care of. It's anything but a principle control
hotspot for the created countries in light of the fact that the real area of Hydro-electric
energysaddling the gravity. It is accessible in a few structures like potential energy source of
waterway that tumbles from an extraordinary stature and held in the dam, high Current River
and masses of static water. In the age of hydro-control, the turbine changes the active power
into the electrical energy source and in this procedure, the water goes into rotational turbine
shaft where the torque of these poles is same to the rakish force of stream of water.

Figure 2 Hydro-electric energy transmission
(Marsh, 2019)
Tidal source of energy
Tidal renewable source of energy is another type of hydro-control energy generation process
which changes the energy source which is acquired from the tides. It isn't utilized broadly yet it
is the potential wellspring of energy source for what's to come. Tide powers are more
unsurprising than wind and sun energy source. It for the most part requires mind-boggling
expense and accessible on a restricted scale. As the tidal power sources are taken from earth
sea tides which are as occasional variety in view of attraction. Because of the amazing
gravitational power, a lump has been produced in water which inevitably makes a dimension of
the ocean and because of the development of the earth, this lump met with the shallow of
water which makes the tide. Here the generator changes over the Tidal renewable source of
energy into the progression of power. An incredible tidal variance can in the long run increment
the potential intensity of the tidal site that is utilized for the age of power.
Figure 3 Use of tidal energy for electricity production

(b) Energy source rate of adoption along with justification of recommendation
There are four renewable source of energy has been considered in this scenario and making
analysis over them provide ability to select two most favoured source of energy that could be
use again and again along be availability in different region. The two selected renewable source
of energy are solar energy and wind energy. These two selected energy can easily be deployed
for individual or use of corporate level. The solar energy is widely used power source and is free
to entire world. It is the source that can deployed in any region and is cost effective than other.
As per latest research it is found that it can only generate and contribute by 20% of whole
power consumption. And if the government initiate program to make use of such energy then
whole country could be electrified because it only require investment on purchase and
maintenance. Means it can touch the ratio of 50% participation in energy production within the
next 100 years. The motivation for use and learning program for the on and off process could
make all rural area electrified.
The other source of energy that could help in reducing the power consumption of fossil fuel is
wind energy. In western and European countries it can only generate 3.16 electricity supply by
starting of 21st century. A research paper disover about the power generation of wind energy
and provide detail overview for wind energy it can generate seventy five giga hertz of power
supply by end of 2013. It vary on the basis of land type, region and season and thus in some
places it can generate power than other source of energy because of its availability.
(Marsh, 2019)
Task2
(a)Selection of a renewable source of energy and connection with local machines
As talked about in the past coursework, the utilization of sun powered energy source is most
useful and effectively transmission energy source. Utilization of photovoltaic cells in the age of
sun oriented power is the best technique where sun oriented cells change the Photovoltaic is
best known as a methodology for delivering electric power by using sun-fueled cells to change
over essentialness from the sun into a movement of electrons by the photovoltaic effect.
Sun situated cells produce direct stream control from light which can be used to control
equipment or to empower a battery. The key feasible utilization of photovoltaic was to control
orbiting satellites and another bus, yet today the vast majority of the photovoltaic modules are
used for cross section related control age. For this circumstance, an inverter is required to
change over the DC to AC. There is a little market for off-lattice control for remote living
arrangements, vessels, recreational vehicles, electric automobiles, roadside emergency
telephones, remote recognizing, and cathode confirmation of pipelines.

Photovoltaic power cell uses sun based sheets made out of different daylight based cells
containing a photovoltaic material. Copper daylight based connections partner modules,
groups, and sub-fields. In light of the creating enthusiasm for supportable power sources, the
gathering of daylight based cells and photovoltaic displays have advanced stunningly starting
late.
Figure 4 Solar panel with local machine
light strikes on top of solar panel that consist photovoltaic cell and absorbed by help of silicon
semiconductors. The light energy causes to loose the electron which is available in silicon and
transforms into solar power. In photovoltaic cells, there are two layer of silicon material is being
used and both of them separately generate electric field. Means it can be said that one size has
a positive area and other side has negative area. The charged field enforce the loose electron to
flow in specific direction from solar cell, produce electricity. After generation of electrical
current by the help of electrons, metal plates of solar cells collect them and transfer to the
wire. On this peak time an electron flow through wiring from solar inverter to home.
(Nef.org.uk, 2019)
(b)The benefit of a renewable source of energy
Renewable source of energy offers a clean and pollution free electricity which couldn’t harmful
so much fo the people and the environment where they live. Solar energy source is easy to use
and easy to maintain system which has number of solar cells and these solar cell can easily
charged from sunlight and lightening the whole house. The renewable source of power supply

like solar panel could be intall on rural area where no development has been done still yet
because of its portability availability. The use of such sources didn’t emit CO or NO in
environment means it is safe for the people. On the other hand wind energy is also a beneficial
source for the people who lives in flat land area, near the heavy wind pressure. They can make
use of it for the personal or can make use for electrification of whole village. The power of wind
energy vary as per variation in size and area where it has been located.
(Union of Concerned Scientists, 2019)
(c)Selection of location and analyze the efficiency of the combination of renewable power
sources for a particular area
As per case, the area has been selected as remote locations near the united kingdom which
highly rely on fossil fuels and the people live here face issue because of toxic air and others. The
people directly depend on fossil fuels which costing good in the purchase. The solar power
consumption in this area is on very low scale. The rapid development in 2010 by government
the installation of devices increased but at the end of 2019 energy generation only touch of
13GW. The panels which is used in system has 10% increasing and decreasing factor in UK
climate which means the generation of power more than 1000 hour than installed capacity.
(Alternative Energy Tutorials, 2019)
Task3
(a) Solar power renewable source of energy design for a property that consists of three
bedrooms
The renewable source of energy design process require great consideration by having
development of different modules. The development of design for the three room area
property that is located in London, UK. The required design for the property requires approx
3kilohertz. In a day. There are several component that is required to design and calculate
during the design of required model:
 Photovoltaic system
 Solar power handling system

The development of solar cell design will be accomplished in the following points
 Totaling of consumed powers
 Calculation of load power handling of photovoltaic cells
 Estimation of inverter size

 Power calculation of battery
(Solar Mango – #1 guide for solar, 2019)
(b) Installation and development cost analysis for all selected source of energy
To introduce and utilization of wind vitality for a three room property including all parts and
land will increment step by step. The all out expense for the utilization of wind vitality that is
created inside the breeze ranch is approx 5 pence per kilohertz. The real expense of every year

to utilize wind vitality will be 10,000£ and the expense of the turbine relies upon the size and
the normal expense of a turbine will be 3-4 million. In contrast with wind vitality establishment,
introduce a photovoltaic system with the intensity of 200 volt ampear inverter and the expense
of batteries is 1200£ is low.
(c) Analysis of cost benefit for the wind and solar energy
Based on above examination over the wind power source and electrical energy that is getting
from light of sun figuring of money saving advantage investigation for the determination of best
appropriate source depends over the plausibility and capital expense with use cost. It is
additionally imperative to check their attainability for generation of nitro-oxide or carbon
mono-oxide which in the end happen being used of other non-renewable energy sources. The
establishment of wind vitality requires a decent capital venture that is 3.5 million and the
utilization of this vitality will charge 4 to 5 pence methods 10,000 pounds per year. In contrast
with this sun oriented cell, the framework radiates more power and require less capital
speculation. The utilization of such sustainable wellspring of vitality didn't require extra
charges.
(Ritchie and Roser, 2019)
Task4
(a) Impact of Socio-Economic, legislation and natural factors on setup, installation and use
The setup of an establishment of an inexhaustible resources of energy isn't a simple
assignment. The variation in size & setup, use and installation of system highly impacted by
legislative, social, economical and natural causes. Choice of size and kind of sustainable power
source relies upon the zone where it will be utilized. On the off chance that the region isn't
grown impeccably and no electrical cable, at that point a photovoltaic arrangement of sunlight
based vitality will be useful for the general population. The other factor social and financial
likewise impacts on determination, setup and utilization of vitality. In the event that individuals
didn't have a comprehension of the fundamental expense and size, at that point it will cost
higher than genuine. Amid establishment, it additionally relies upon government authorization
for the utilization of such vitality source and deals with the standard upkeep. The better
utilization of vitality source will lessen conditions over the nonrenewable wellsprings of vitality
and furthermore spare the nature by decreasing the ratio of nitro-oxide or carbon mono-oxide
in the nature.
(b) Analysis of environment and PESTLE analysis tool to describe the source of conflict
Utilization of non-renewable energy source is a lot higher than another sustainable source
which emanates perilous gases in nature. As of now every nation on the planet another kind of
issue in view of ordinary utilization of this wellspring of vitality and that is a shortage of vitality

and a dangerous atmospheric devation. The utilization of such vitality additionally impacts on
environmental change and living things.
PESTLE analysis
Utilization of such kind of vitality very hand-off over the government official methods the go of
the delicate to introduce an inexhaustible wellspring of vitality require the consent everything
being equal and may affect on the procedure if the other pioneer contradicts introducing based
on the clouded side. It likewise relies upon the determination of the wellspring of vitality with
regards to the earth. On the off chance that the sun based power or another source that is
situated in tidal spots, low ebb and flow of water supply or volcanic spot then it will be the most
noticeably awful choice. Social renewal is additionally required by inspiring the provincial zone
individuals for the utilization of sunlight based power and should assist the administration with
installing these frameworks. Legislation also impact on setup and use of such energy system
and passes through the permission of government authorities. They examine the area where an
individual wants to install and address the safety measures.
(Leanovation, 2019)
(c) Analysis and justification of recommendation selection of best area of installation
Utilization of renewable power sources is most valuable in each field, regardless of whether it is
an office or a provincial territory home. Such sort of intensity source relies upon nature. In the
event that the zone is situated close to the coastline, at that point it is imperative to reevaluate
about sunlight based vitality. It will increasingly useful for the utilization of tidal vitality for the
general population who live there. Choice of a sustainable wellspring of vitality very relies upon
the earth where it will be utilized. Like if wind vitality can't be utilized in a region where wind
blowing rate is extremely low or consider the region where establishment of hydroelectric plant
were no stream or sea accessible.
Conclusion
In this world there different type of power sources available and some of them are non
renewable and some can be use again and again. Here in this case, analysis over the renewable
source of power sources has been done where all four different type of natural power sources
that could be possible resolve the electrical issue and also reduce the use of fossil fuels has
been address. Among several, solar and wind electrical energy highly contributed in
consumption of power on national level. So this paper will help the student who lives in rural
area or remote location where the power crisis occur. They can analyze and select one from
several including selection needed size and costing structure. They will also get motivate the
other to use this, will help to eliminate the power crisis issue.
