Study on Present Renewable Energy Status of Bangladesh

Abstract

This paper reports the renewable energy resources and technology practices in Bangladesh. It also presents the present energy scenario, renewable energy resources and future prospect in Bangladesh. For achieving growth and progress in a developing country like Bangladesh, utilization of the available energy sources is of more importance. Bangladesh is possessing with vast renewable energy resources such as solar energy, wind energy, biomass energy etc. People all over the world have been using solar energy mainly for drying from the very beginning of the human race. Use of solar energy more efficiently also started a The wind farms beside the wind farms are capable of generating 1855.25 megawatt of electricity in the range of 7500 meters, wind speed of 5104 horizontal axis and wind speed of 100 meters in height of 7 meters / second. This could reduce energy deficit by 2016, 55.93 percent. Renewable energy sources can provide 11.25% of the total electricity demand by 2020. People all over the world have been using solar energy mainly for drying from the very beginning of the human race. Use of Solar energy more efficiently also started a long time ago. more recently, concern about the environment and possible shortage of conventional fuels prompted researcher all over the world to look for sustainable and renewable resources. Solar Energy is one of the best among a score of other renewable resources. This thesis present the most up-to- data scenario of solar energy and the solar energy based project across the country, Bangladesh and finally, authors try to analyze solar home system per unit cost by a case study.
