Solar Park: The Next Generation Energy Source in Bangladesh

Abstract

The continuous depletion of fossil fuel reserves and threats on climate change makes it essential for searching alternative energy sources. Renewable energy can play a vital role in this regard. Solar energy is the most promising renewable energy source available so far. In this paper, the availability of solar energy in Bangladesh and the prospects of solar photovoltaic based power generation are discussed. Analysis for different sources of solar energy is revealed. Especially the current scenario and prospect of Solar Park is investigated. And the result shows that according to the future plan, Solar Park is going to hold the largest share among all the renewable energy sources. According to the Renewable Energy Master Database, the total renewable energy capacity including all categories is about 2.4 GW. Among these, solar park projects are the main contributors in terms of capacity which is 2,110.56 MW.

Sustainable solar energy potential on marine passenger ships of Bay of Bengal: A way of reducing carbon dioxide emissions and disaster risk reduction

“…Several works have been done regarding conventional solar energy in Bangladesh, a few of them are solar home system, solar pump/irrigation systems, and solar parks (Amin et al, 2014;Chowdhury et al, 2011;Hossain et al, 2015;Islam et al, 2017;Liza and Islam, 2020;Najmul Hoque and Das, 2013;Rahman et al, 2020). However, there have been a few studies on marine vessels (Atkinson, 2016;Kapus ćik et al, 2019;Kobougias et al, 2013;Nasirudin et al, 2017;Spagnolo et al, 2012;Verma and Kumar, 2021;Winebrake et al, 2007) that all looked at traditional stand-alone solar PV worldwide, but anyone does not work on design regarding "flower-shaped solar PV tower," shown in Table 1.…”
