Abstract: Nature is built up of panchabhuta or five

elements, earth or Prithvi; water or gel; fire or Agni; air or Vayu and then ether or Akasha. Our whole cosmic quest of the world and beyond starts from the point of panchabhuta. The balance of the nature depends on these five elements. Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be changed from one form to another.- Albert Einstein. Five elements are the source of renewable energy that comes such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat. Green energy is abundant in nature, but still humans uses the nonrenewable energy which takes centuries and more than that to form and harms the delicate environment, so production of green energy is a big league for the saviors of the world. ACT- Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC. This Directive establishes a common framework for the production and promotion of energy from renewable sources. Before going to the main theme of the Topics; lets discuss few points regarding Energy and its production. Energy is considered to be as: an indispensable prerequisite for performing mechanical work and the concept of energy production has great importance in natural science. In the whole world, whether it may be the United States of America, Japan, China, or our own land there is a need for more energy, because of high consumptions of the Industries. A developed Nation or developing Nation: there is a need to save and produce enormous energy from renewable sources, so as it helps to build up an ecofriendly environment. Majorly Energy Resources is bifurcated into two: Renewable and Non-Renewable energy. Non-renewable resource is a natural resource which cannot be reproduced, grown, generated, or used on a scale which can sustain its consumption rate. A renewable resource is a natural resource which can replenish with the passage of time, either through biological reproduction or other naturally recurring processes. Renewable resources are a part of Earth's natural environment and the largest components of its ecosphere. B. Major Inventions in the world for producing of energy

A. INTRODUCTION
Renewable energy flows involve natural phenomena such as sunlight, wind, tides, plant growth, and geothermal heat. In spite of so many kinds of energy we have like Kinetic Energy, Potential Energy, Thermal, or heat energy, Chemical Energy, Electrical Energy, electro Chemical Energy, Electromagnetic energy (light), Sound Energy, and Nuclear Energy.We are focusing on Prime Energy that is Production of Electricity through renewable resources because many places in our country and in the world that has to see the ray of light soon; remote areas where need of development is more and the known lacuna is lack of energy.We spend big amounts in purchasing Electricity from different states or different countries but if we manage in producing enough electricity through renewable sources; as the result the amount spent for electricity can be used in other development purposes.

using the kinds of alternative energy Sunlight- Which is commonly denoted as Solar energy and
production of energy is done through solar panels, solar cells. Solar electricity is produced by photo voltaic cells This technology has been used for many years and it has a high application through worldwide. Solar thermal power stations operate in the USA and Spain, and the largest of these is the 354 megawatt (MW) SEGS power plant in the Mojave Desert.

Availability of Resource

Cost

Solar energy is a renewable source since there will be solar energy as long as the sun exists It is very expensive, For Instance- Rooftop Power and Stand alone Small Gridconnected Power Plant (RPSSGP). The total cost of one unit was approx. Rupees 2 lakh, which was given on contract according to the scheme of the Tamil Nadu Energy Development Agency, under a Central Government . Photo voltaic systems are mainly used in undeveloped areas and Remote areas where there is a huge amount

Impact

of sunlight. Globally, an estimated 3 million households get power from small solar PV systems.

WindWind is the result of the uneven heating of the earth's surface causing air to be in motion. Wind machines or mills have been used for centuries in harnessing the wind's kinetic energy. Wind power is growing at the rate of 21% annually, with a worldwide installed capacity of 238 gigawatts (GW) in 2011. The Alta Wind Energy Center is the largest onshore wind farm in the world, with a capacity of 1020 MW of power.

Application

Availability of Resource Cost

As long as there is a sun there will be wind

Impact

Most of the commercial-scale turbines installed today are 2 MW in size and cost roughly $3-$4 million installed. There are two types of wind machines; horizontal, and vertical. Horizontal-axis wind machines have blades that are parallel to the ground and vertical-axis wind machines go at a 45 degree angle to the ground.

Application

Several countries have achieved relatively high levels of wind power penetration, such as 21% of stationary electricity production in Denmark 18% in Portugal 16% in Spain,14% in Ireland and 9% in Germany in 2010by 2011, at times over 50% of electricity in Germany and Spain came from wind and solar power as of 2011, 83 countries around the world are using wind power on a commercial basis. India has the fifth largest installed wind power capacity in the world

Hydro Power
The moving water is kinetic energy. Hydroelectricity accounting for 16 percent of global electricity generation 3,427 tera watt-hours of electricity produced in 2010, and is expected to increase about 3.1% each year for the next 25 years. Hydro power plants are usually built on a river or an artificial dam to allow for storing water for potential energy Availability of Resource As long as it rains, hydro power has been around for centuries.

Cost

In Turkey for 120 MW, the total cost would be $1.6 Billion US Dollars. The fast moving water spins the turbine blade that is attached to a generator to produce electricity. The electricity is then transported to the utility company by transmission lines.

Application

Impact

Hydro power produces eight to 11 percent in the United States. World wide hydro power is 25% of the electricity production total.

Conclusion: The production of green energy is a big league for the saviors of the world but Scientists have advanced a plan to power 100% of the world's energy with wind, hydroelectric, and solar power by the year 2030. Many great Inventions have already touched the feet on this earth, Research is going on, especially in: MIT, University of Pennsylvania Imperial College London, Princeton University National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), Queensland University of Technology, Alcatel-Lucent, University of Nevada, Reno Cornell University, UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Stanford. Researchers from across the globe had done and still never ending research is going on to make the world more Ecofriendly. My Dream is to see a Miniature Energy Production Plant (MEPP) at every house in every city in every state in every Country of every territory; so that we can make OUR GLOBE MORE GREEN...

Recent Inventions: 1. Using of Chlorine Water Bottels as Light, Conversion of solar energy to light energy.

Very Cost effective easy to make, no investment, good option for an alternative. The water refracts the light while the chlorine and the salt slow down evaporation and prevent mold. The solution is expected to last up to two years before it needs changing 2. Ceria Mimics Plant Life- Newer and more exciting devices are being invented to harness renewable energy - especially solar energy. One such device is a prototype which uses one of the rare earth metals Ceria, otherwise known cerium oxide - utilizing its natural propensity of alternatively exhaling and inhaling oxygen as it heats up or cools down

My Concept Out of the box thinking Refrences: 1. Humans which are the major consumer of energy, according to fact it has been said that the brain uses only 25% of the energy of the body, so unused energy if transmitted or if used for other purposes then it can be a good Invention.

Example Surplus energy which is stored in our body is wasted if not used so using this surplus energy in producing electricity. Some Related Inventions have done on this and shoes has been invented which can be used to watch TVs or charge electrical but work only through human surplus energy. 2. Next Idea- At the time of anger, its only possible when you have a surplus energy so at that time like making a sort of boxing gloves: So that whenever you feel like hitting something it may turn your potential energy to electric energy: the high potential energy to electric energy and its possible.

So that Even You can Say My Anger has a Good and positive effect.Energy which is inside you never diminishes until you dead so this is also a kind of a renewable source.
