A Study on Integration of Solar Energy Sources

Sarfraz Ahmed

Abstract


As due to continuously industrialization and urbanization, demand of electrical energy around world
is continuously increasing. Present available base load plants which are working on conventional fuels
are not able to meet this increased demand of energy. So, renewable energy assets (RERs) can be used
to meet the demands of electrical energy and supply power required to fulfill energy demand. There are
some remote areas where continuous supply of energy by conventional means is not possible in these
areas, some small energy generation plant can set up by using RERs, which will meet daily energy
demands. Use of sunlight for generation of electrical power is the most significant, more reliable, long
lasting, eco-friendly, and less polluting form of renewable form of energy, because of all these
properties solar energy, solar systems are widely used for generation of electrical power in different
parts of world.
