Energy Engineering
Measure of development in any society in these days is
synonymous with quantum of energy consumption. This is why
energy has been recognized as a critical input parameter for
national development. Modern day energy demands are still met
largely from fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. Besides
coal & natural gas, electricity from hydro and nuclear energy are
considered to be commercial energy source. In fact, the three
great Challenges facing mankind in the new millennium are
preservation of peace, eradication of poverty and conservation of
our environment. Undoubtedly, each of the aforesaid goals is
intertwined with questions of sources of energy, their demand and
supply, access and harnessing.
Energy Engineering
Energy available in nature are called ‘Natural
sources of energy’. Energy available from these sources
are to be converted into useful form of energy. These
energy sources are broadly classified into :
1) Conventional Energy Sources
2) Non- Conventional Energy
Sources
CLASSIFICATION OF ENERGY SOURCES

CONVENTIONAL
Fossil Fuels
Hydraulic Energy
Nuclear Energy

NON-
CONVENTIONAL
Solar, Wind, Geo-

Tidal, Bio-Mass
Conventional Energy Sources
(Non-Renewable Energy Sources)
The energy sources which are
formed very slowly in nature and
which are likely to be exhausted
in a few decades or centuries, are
called ‘Non Renewable Sources
of Energy’. These are energy
resources which do not get
replenished after its consumption.
Non-Conventional Energy Sources
(Renewable Energy Sources)
‘Renewable Sources of
Energy’ are those which are
renewed by the nature again and
again and their supply is not
affected by rate of consumption.
Renewable energy is renewed by
nature periodically (eg. Sunlight)
or intermittently (eg. Wind).
