Abstract

Power generation is one of the major concerns for the developing countries around the world with their limited energy sources. Bangladesh without any doubt is faced with the same set of challenges as the energy sources continue to deplete. However, Renewable energy sources continue to be the most easily available and suitable alternative. As a number of natural gas reserves continue to decrease, amount of power generated from renewable energy sources has to be increased. In this work, we present a complete analysis of current energy resources and their usage condition in Bangladesh. A projection is made from the current condition to predict the possible energy scarcity in near future. Looking at the current situation Bangladesh finds itself in a desperate situation to address future power generation challenges near the year 2050. Here a possible solution to this intimidating challenge through renewable energy sources is represented and their possible implications are also discussed. A cost analysis and relative challenges to implement that technology are also investigated with greater details.
