Renewable Energy India 2008 Expo

Hydro-power Market Overview:

Hydropower is considered the oldest renewable energy technology known to mankind for the production of electricity.It is clean and environmentally friendly energy sources.

Hydropower currently supplies about 715,000 MW, or 19% of all electricity in the world, representing 63% of the total electricity production from renewable energy sources.

Hydropower plays a major role in solving energy problems.Electricity generated from small hydropower (SHP) projects is cost effective. These projects are easy to use, have a relatively short period of pregnancy, and are environmentally friendly. In addition, SHP projects may be located in remote areas for electricity generation. Global assessment of the capacity of SHP is about 180 000 MW

Wind power Market Overview:

Throughout the world of sustainable energy is now under the direction of wind energy. In fact, the wind is moving fast in the main source of power in several countries, and plays a key role in meeting the energy challenges facing the world today.

Wind power is a renewable, economical, environmentally friendly and environmentally clean source of energy. The average annual growth rate of more than 26% compared with 1990, the wind rapidly growing source of energy in the world.Global wind power generating capacity at the end of 2006, over 74 GWh, 25,4% more than in 2005.

Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) in his "Wind Force 12" projection estimates that by 2020, wind will become US $ 67 billion business in annual terms. Thus, the global installed capacity may increase to 135,000 MW by 2010, meeting 12% of the world's electricity requirements.
