Abstract
Renewable energy is non-conventional sustainable energy that can be obtained from natural resources. It is inexhaustible and due to humans’ use of it, and it also differs from other endangered energy sources, such as oil, coal and natural gas. It is also called alternative energy and has many sources wind, sun and other sources. And the importance of the issue because it is sustainable energy, as man used various energy sources throughout his long life on the surface of the earth, represented by wood, seas, oil, natural gas and electricity, and the use ranged from being simple for the purpose of heating and preparing food to transportation, trade and industry. Man used other sources of energy, but in a narrow range, such as nuclear energy, which is still limited to its use in industrially developed societies and in specific fields such as the medical, military, environmental and agricultural aspects. We say the age of coal, the age of steam and oil, and so this development had results, where the use of the source increased and the consequence of this century and the last century witnessed a focus on the use of oil to very large degrees in all aspects of life, so this engine of life in this age must be subjected to penetration, and that is why man must be exposed. From the search for alternative sources that compensate first for oil and ensure its continuity at a certain level or on what is known today, as the first solar energy unit was established in 1977 and was transferred to the Research Center for Solar Energy in 1977 and transferred to the Research Center for Solar Energy in In 1980, in the same year, the first experimental solar house was built near a center in which solar energy was used to heat water, and it was agreed during that period with Germany on scientific cooperation in this regard. The field between this center and the Institute of Solar Technology in Stuttgart, but today the Ministry of Science and Technology is working to complete a comprehensive survey for the whole of Iraq and to develop a database on which to establish electric power generation projects based on renewable energy.
