The International Journal of Renewable Energy Research (IJRER) is not a for profit organisation. IJRER is a quarterly published, open source journal and operates an online submission with the peer review system allowing authors to submit articles online and track their progress via its web interface.
Fact sheets are provided for several different energy resources as a starting point for students to conduct literature research on the way these systems work and their various pros and cons. Students complete a worksheet for homework or take in-class time for research and presentation of their findings to the class. This approach requires students to learn for themselves and teach each other.
Renewable Resources in Zero Energy Build-ings with Economical andEnvironmental A s-pects: A Case Study in Odisha. 1ArchanaPatnaik, Md Asif Akbari. 1, Dr. P.C Saha2. Abstract: A net zero energy building can be defined as a building which generates as much energy through renewable sources as much as it con-sumes from the Grid.
It defines energy efficiency and renewable energy and describes why quantifying the multiple benefits of energy efficiency and renewable energy may be valuable to a decision maker or analyst. This chapter sets the context for the subsequent chapters that describe the framework, methods, and tools analysts can use to quantify the electricity system.
In addition, renewable energy is generated by natural resources such as sunlight, wind and biomass which produce less or no pollution when generate energy. Furthermore, renewable energy will be demanded for approximately half of the worldwide electricity supplies to reduce CO2 emissions by 2050, which it is estimated by The International Energy Agency (Cited in Shi 2010).
Each type of proposed renewable energy has its benefits and drawbacks. For example, hydropower has the benefit of relatively consistent results; however, it remains controversial due to its impact on aquatic environments. For this assignment, select one renewable resource to examine its benefits and drawbacks. Describe the sources of this renewable resource.
With highly accurate observations, forecasts, and understanding of how wind and solar resources vary and co-vary across time and space, the electric grid will be better able to accommodate the variable nature of wind and solar energy. This will yield greater production of carbon-free renewable energy while also reducing air pollutant emissions.
