INTRODUCTION
Peru is a country whose electricity generation matrix has traditionally been low in
carbon emissions, due to the importance of hydroelectric generation. Even with the
increase in the participation of natural gas plants, due to the start-up of the Camisea
project in 2004, our matrix remains relatively clean compared to others in the world.
This research report aims to present the different sources of renewable energy
The burning of fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and petroleum releases
emissions that contain greenhouse gasses and cause air pollution and acid rain,
whereas most forms of renewable energy are non polluting. In addition, because the
earth has a finite supply of fossil fuels, the development of renewable energy
sources is important to the long-term future of humankind.

LITERATURE REVIEW
During the 10th and 11th centuries in Europe there was a technological advance in
renewable hydraulic energy. The economic growth was incredible and in many
places investment was made in clean energy.
The origin of renewable energies dates back to ancient times. Did you know that the
water mill was already used since Roman times? In that period the advanced
technology that we have today did not exist and a simple mechanism was used,
powered by slave men and animals.
There are many other examples of renewable energy spanning human history. Water
mills were used to grind grain and later were used to cut wood, and were also used
in the 200s BC. C. Windmills were developed for the same purpose in both Europe
and Asia almost a thousand years later. In many areas of the world, wind energy
became inseparable from domestic agriculture because it could be used to pump
water from underground and grind wheat and other grains into flour or valuable food.
The wind also fueled global exploration and the sailing trade of large sailing vessels.
Although renewable energy is not usually associated in conversation today, humans
have obtained energy from renewable sources throughout history.
The first European windmill was built in the 12th century in England. It emerged as a
necessity in areas where water was scarce or poorly accessible, and they turned to
wind energy. He realized that the wind was blowing everywhere and this renewable
energy is expanding throughout northern Europe.
In the 20th century, people began to reflect on the effect that non-renewable
energies had. Oil resources can be depleted, and they also pollute the environment.
Clean energies are the alternatives to these sources that have an expiration date.

METHODOLOGY
Renewable energy research is a big problem in several engineering fields, but its
resolution is usually part of a research plan. We follow a series of reliable sources of
virtual books, in this part we can explore various factors that influence an
investigation such as the sample in the population, the impact suggested by the
renewal of energy. In Peru, the most used are solar, wind , biomass and hydraulics;
The latter being the most used and representing, in 2013, 54% of the total energy
produced in Peru (OSINERGMIN, 2017).
The data taken are samples directed by experts, who with rigorous research
managed to estimate the disparate values that exist in a country.
Measurement tools
● Anemometers: They are used to measure wind speed and direction, essential data
for evaluating the wind potential of a region and the design of wind farms.
● Water Flow Meters: Used in hydropower systems to measure the flow of water in
rivers, streams or canals, helping to calculate hydropower generation potential.
● Optical pyrometers: They are used to measure the temperature of surfaces using
infrared radiation, which can be useful to evaluate the temperature in solar thermal
systems, solar panels, among others.
● Air quality meters: Although not specific to renewable energy, they are important for
evaluating the overall environmental impact of renewable energy facilities, measuring
air quality and pollutant emissions.
● Soil and biomass analysis equipment: Used to evaluate soil quality in biomass
projects and to measure the chemical composition of organic materials used as
renewable energy sources.

RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
Solar Energy
One of the most promising and popular kinds of renewable energy is solar
energy, which uses radiant energy produced by the sun. Solar energy was used
as early as the seventh century B.C.E., when a magnifying glass was used to
concentrate sunlight to light fires. In 1767, Swiss scientist Horace-Bénédict de
Saussure invented the first solar collector, a device for storing the sun's radiation
and converting it into a usable form, such as by heating water to create steam. In
1891, American inventor Clarence Kemp patented the first commercial solar
water heater.
Wind Energy
One of the fastest-growing types of renewable energy during the 1990s, wind
energy has been used by humans for centuries. Windmills appear in Persian
drawings from 500 b. EC. , and they are known to have been used throughout
the Middle East and China. The English and the French built windmills during the
twelfth century, and windmills were indispensable for pumping underground
water in the western and Great Plains regions of the United States during the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These windmills convert wind into
mechanical power.
Hydropower
Long before electricity was harnessed, in about 4000 B.C.E., ancient civilizations
used hydropower, or energy from moving or flowing water, in the waterwheel, the
first device employed by humans to produce mechanical energy as a substitute
for animal and human labor. Running water in a stream or river moves the
wooden paddles mounted around a waterwheel, and the resulting rotation in the
shaft drives machinery. The earliest waterwheels were used to grind grain, and
the technology went on to be used worldwide for that purpose, as well as to
supply drinking water, irrigate crops, drive pumps, and power sawmills and textile
mills.
16
Geothermal Energy
Geothermal energy comes from heat produced deep inside the earth. Deep wells
and pumps bring underground hot water and steam to the earth's surface to heat
buildings and generate electricity. Some geothermal energy sources come to the
surface naturally, including hot springs, geysers, and volcanoes. The ancient
Chinese, Native Americans, and Romans used hot mineral-rich springs for
bathing, heating, and cooking. Food dehydration became the major industrial
use of this form of energy. In 1904, the first electricity from geothermal energy
was generated in Larderello, Italy.
Seawater energy
● Tidal Dam
These dams are like dams that are built at the mouth of an estuary, whose
function is to use the water that flows in and out of the basin, which is caused
by the difference in heights between the tides.
17
RENEWABLE ENERGY STORAGE
TECHNOLOGIES
Thermal Storage
● Description: Thermal storage involves storing energy in the form of heat for
later use. They may use molten sales or other materials to store and release
heat.
Green Hydrogen
● Description: Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water using
renewable energy. The stored hydrogen can be used as fuel or converted
18
back into electricity when needed.
Supercapacitors
● Description: Supercapacitors store energy electrostatically rather than
chemically, allowing them to charge and discharge quickly.
Flywheels
● Description: Flywheels store kinetic energy in a rotating rotor. Energy is
recovered when the rotor decelerates.
Flow Batteries:
● Description: Flow batteries store energy in liquid solutions contained in
separate tanks. Loading and unloading occur through the exchange of
chemicals between tanks.
Zinc-Air Batteries:
● Description: They use zinc and oxygen from the air as electrodes and oxygen
as a reagent. They are efficient and offer high energy density.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND
SUSTAINABILITY
Environmental impact refers to the consequences that human activities have on the
environment. These activities can include air and water pollution, deforestation,
waste generation, depletion of natural resources, among others. Sustainability, on
the other hand, focuses on meeting current needs without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their own needs.
1. Ecological Footprint
The ecological footprint measures the amount of natural resources that a
person, community or country consumes and compares this with the Earth's
capacity to regenerate those resources. Reducing the ecological footprint is a
key objective to increase sustainability.
2. Pollution
Human activities often generate pollutants that negatively affect the quality of
air, water and soil. Proper waste management and emissions reduction are
important to minimize this impact.
3. Biodiversity Conservation
Biodiversity is essential for the health of ecosystems. Loss of natural habitats,
pollution and climate change can negatively affect biological diversity. The
conservation of species and habitats is essential for sustainability.
4. Renewable Energy
The transition towards renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind and
hydroelectric, is crucial to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and mitigate
climate change.
5. Sustainable Development
This approach seeks to balance economic development with environmental
conservation and social well-being. The United Nations Sustainable
20
Development Goals (SDGs) are a global framework that addresses various
aspects of sustainability.
6. Responsible Consumption
Choosing sustainable products and lifestyles can significantly reduce
environmental impact. This includes a preference for ethically made products,
local foods and reducing waste.
7. Climate Change
Human activity, especially the emission of greenhouse gasses, contributes to
climate change. Mitigation and adaptation are essential to address this global
challenge.
Awareness and action around these issues are essential to achieving a more
sustainable future. Individuals, communities, businesses and governments play a
key role in promoting practices that minimize environmental impact and promote
sustainability.

CASE STUDIES
Many DG schemes contain hybrid systems with more than one generation source.
For instance, solar power is used for thermal and electric generation in buildings.
Despite the fact that the former also analyzes geothermal heat pumps (GHP), it does
not consider other applicable sources, and the cost estimates are unclear.
Natural-gas-fueled poly-generation is studied, which proposes a general model for
estimating the energy and CO2-emission performance but disregards economic
aspects or comparison with other technologies. Presents a feasibility analysis of
GHP, PV, and other co-generation technologies for buildings, but the level of detail in
the system models, demand profiles, and energy production calculation might be
sufficient for an accurate economic analysis. Unlike previous examples that consider
only one or two sources, other works model several DG technologies and analyze
their economic and technical feasibility. The former proposes an analytical method
for the sizing of DG systems, while the latter proposes a linear programming
problem. Both studies analyze DG systems following a single-node approach.
25
CONCLUSIONES
● Environmental impact: Conclusions can be drawn about how renewable
energies have a positive impact on the environment, reducing greenhouse
gas emissions and decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, which contributes
to the mitigation of climate change.
