An introduction to Solar Energy : Part One

"The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has planned a detailed trajectory so as to meet the target of 100 GW by 2022. A capacity of 23.12 GW was installed up to July 2018. Projects of around 10 GW are under implementation and tenders for additional 24.4 GW are issued."(EleTimes,2018). 

Keeping in view of the updates received from MNRE and many other govt resource it can be concluded that solar energy can induce stiff competition to the fossil fuel based electrical energy resources in the race to become the number one source of energy. In coming days the significance of solar energy is going to be aggravated. As a result, I will like to introduce the basic concepts of solar energy in a PPT presentation. The presentation consist of the basic concepts of sun to electricity including but not limited to Fermilevel,valence and conduction band,energy level etc. which will be introduced to provide quality information to the interested and already acting as "stake holders".

Remember to post feedback in the comment box, even if you don't like it, with your valuable insights.

How to use ELECTRE to solve water and energy management problems ?

ELECTRE is ​widely used to ​solve problems ​from water and ​energy ​management.This ​tutorial shows ​how to work ​with ELECTRE ​method such ​that the ​readers can use ​this method to ​solve water ​related ​decision making ​problems. ​ELECTRE  ​is an ​outranking ​method where ​options ​outranked each ​other and the ​best option ​remains.Here ​both concordance ​and discordance ​index was used ​to find the ​outranking ​criteria. ​ For application ​of ELECTRE in ​Water Resource ​Management you ​may refer to ​the following ​publications : ​ Raju, K.S., ​Duckstein, L. & ​Arondel, C. ​Multicriterion ​Analysis for ​Sustainable ​Water Resources ​Planning: A ​Case Study in ​Spain. Water ​Resources ​Management 14, ​435–456 (​2000). ​https://doi.​org/10.1023/A:​1011120513259 Rogers, M., ​Bruen, M. and ​Maystre, L.
