1.3 RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR TRANSPORT FUEL

Renewable biofuels have contributed to a significant decline in oil consumption in the limited states since 2006. The 936billion liters of biofuels produced worldwide in 2009 displaced the equivalent of an estimated 68billion liter of gasoline, equal to about 5% of world gasoline production.

At the national level, at least 30 nations around the world already have renewable energy contributing more than 20% of energy supply. National renewable energy markets are projected to continue to grow strongly in the coming decade and beyond, and some 120 countries have various policy targets for longer term shares of renewable energy including a binding 20% by 2020 target for the European Union some countries have much higher long-term policy target of up to 100% renewable outside Europe, a diverse group of 20 or more other countries target renewable energy shares in the 2020-2030 time frame that range from 10% to 50%.

In international public opinion surveys there is strong support for promoting renewable sources such as solar power and wind power, requiring utilities to use more renewable energy (even if this increase the cost, and use of such technologies. There is substantial optimism that renewable energy investment will pay off economically the long term.] [Edwin,2011].

1.4 AIMS & OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The aim of this project is to install a 2KVA stand above photovoltaic system, using an office in physics department as a case study.

OBJECTIVES

1. To generate electricity from solar energy in while the source is free in nature and abundant.

2. To find solution to irregularity in power supply by PHCN

3. To carry out the system sizing in solar power generator.

4. To study the performance of each component constituting the solar power generator.
