Abstract

World is facing difficulties dealing with energy crisis due to the depletion of fossil fuels and other constraints like cost. In the current scenario, globally power generation is necessary for industrial and economic development, so efforts are required to be made to find out the ways to replace fossil fuels with more environmental-friendly alternatives. One of the better options is to use renewable energy sources. This research work addresses the electricity shortage problem of Pakistan with a specific focus on use of solar energy with the help of solar pond and parabolic trough for the generation of electricity. A review has been presented on the recent works on application of solar pond and parabolic trough technology in this area. Besides that, potential use of these technologies in Khuzdar region, a remote area of Pakistan has been described. Review shows that remote areas of Balochistan province especially Khuzdar region is very much feasible to use solar energy as replacement of conventional power generation resources with a focus on solar pond and parabolic trough collector technologies of renewable energy. Future work also mentions potential use of Artificial Intelligence based techniques to be used for solving problems related with electricity generation.
