The use of renewable energy resources is growing gradually and it's requirement is also increasing as compared with the conventional energy sources from corner to corner of the world. The use of these energies can accomplish the added energy requirement and the research on this is in development. This paper provides a brief knowledge about different renewable energy resources. It thus, becomes a need to explore these sources more efficiently, so that we can maximize it's use for different applications worldwide.

Buildings are a significant energy consumption point since they account for 40% of the total energy demand and around 1/3 of greenhouse gas emissions. Energy-saving measures applied in the residential sector have led to a reduction in energy consumption during the last decade. On the contrary, such measures have not been widely applied in school buildings, although education is the second-largest energy consumer in the service sector. This paper aims to assess school principals' perceptions concerning energy saving and the environment since they are responsible for promoting energy-saving measures and investments and inspiring students and school personnel towards environmentally friendly behavior. Using survey data from Greek schools, we applied predictive classification models to locate the most critical variables that drive principals' perceptions of energy upgrading and energy-saving actions at school. Results revealed that the positive environmental perceptions of princ.

A proposed hybrid system based on diesel generator and solar photovoltaic (PV) as an effective option to power Mkpok Housing estate in Eket has been presented in this work. Running diesel generator constantly in the estate due to epileptic electricity supply from Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) is very expensive and not eco-friendly. The main objective of this proposed system is optimal design of a solar PV powered supply system to produce sustainable power and reduce or augment the use of continual diesel generator sets, resulting in reduced cost of operation, maintenance and pollutant emissions. Solar radiation data was obtained from meteorology station, analysis, proper sizing and specification of the PV system and battery bank were done based on this information. The hourly solar radiation, calculated values were considered, and used as input of the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER) software to analyze the system. In addition, a comparative study was carried out considering two scenarios of the proposed model system. In the first scenario, the diesel generation, solar PV system was treated as autonomous (or standalone). In the second scenario, the proposed model system was connected to the grid system. It is found that electrifying the housing estate using the proposed hybrid system is very beneficial and competitive with other types of conventional sources due to the fact that it decreases both operating costs and pollutants emissions. Also, results from the HOMER software are realistic and give promising results for on-grid schemes.

Renewable energy sources have been in great demand over the past few years to meet our energy needs. But our existing energy sources churns pollution and depletes our environment. Different renewable energy sources are used to overcome these problems, and some have proven to be effective and efficient. Renewable energy sources are inexhaustible, and they can be used to meet our annual needs. Some of them are fully developed, while some are at the infancy stage. But with some research and development into their respective fields, they all can be used as a proper alternative for our energy needs. In this research paper, different types of renewable energy sources and their current scenarios worldwide have been discussed, along with the benefits of renewable energy sources.
