A Case Study on Renewable Energy Sources, Power Demand, and Policies in the States of South India—Development of a Thermoelectric Model

This work aims to perform a holistic review regarding renewable energy mix, power production approaches, demand scenarios, policies, and investments with respect clean in the southern states of India. Further, thermoelectric-generator model is proposed meet rural demands using solar dish collector technology. The based on idea employing parabolic concentrator thermoelectric (TE) module generate electricity directly from sun’s energy. A an aperture 1.11 m used collect sunlight concentrate it onto receiver plate area 1.56 TE concentrator. concentrated thermal converted into electrical by bismuth telluride (BiTe)-based mounted plate. rectangular fin heatsink, coupled fan, employed remove heat module’s cool side, tracking device track sun continuously. experimental results show considerable agreement mathematical as well its potential applications. Solar generation plays crucial part bridging demand–supply gap for electricity, can be achieved through electrification technology, which typically has 10 25 kW capacity per uses Stirling engine power. Here experimentation generates voltage 11.6 V, current 0.7 A, 10.5 W that electrification, especially domestic loads.
