Abstract

Bangladesh is facing daunting energy challenges. Security concerns over growing fuel imports, limited domestic energy resources for power generation, and projected demands for electricity that will exceed domestic supply capabilities within a few years. By acknowledging the potential of renewable energy resources, the country could possibly meet its unprecedented energy demand, thus increasing electricity accessibility all and enhancing energy security through their advancement. The integration of renewable energy technologies in the power sector through national energy planning would, therefore, is a step in the right direction, not only for sustainable development of the country but also as part of Bangladesh's responsibility toward the global common task of environmental protection. This research paperexamines the potential of renewable energy sources for power generation in Bangladesh from the viewpoint of different promising available technologies. The analysis shows a substantially higher implementation of renewable energy technologies compared to the base scenario. Renewable energy technologies, especially solar photovoltaic, play an important role in achieving acceptable energy security.

Highlights

  • Electricity is a very important factor in developing the economy and the standard of living of a country

  • Current policy measures and institutional structures that have been put in place should be considered only as initial steps towards further development of sustainable energy

  • A number of innovative and practical approaches have been examined in this paper for a sustainable energy future in Bangladesh

Summary

Introduction

Electricity is a very important factor in developing the economy and the standard of living of a country. It must be generated using the national resource of that country. 10% of the rural households have electricity connection and there are some parts of Bangladesh which will not get the access of electricity connection from the national grid within 30 years [1]. To solve this energy crisis we can use different form of renewable energy to generate power. Renewable energy is the energy that comes from different types of natural resources mainly from sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geo thermal heat, biodiesel, bio fuel etc
