To fulfill today’s energy demand we are extracting our fossil fuel, which takes years to form is on verge of depletion and will not be there for future use. Energy Generation had significant impact on natural environment like Detroit air quality, global warming and greenhouse effect. Research and Idea’s need to be explored for sustainable future. Shifting to renewable energy.  Building block must transform into micro–power plants to collect renewable energies on-site to serve as both “power plants” and share to grid.  Deploying hydrogen and storage technologies to store intermittent energies  Conversion of intermittent supplies of renewal energy sources into reliable assets like batteries, other media. Hydrogen is the universal medium that “stores” all forms of renewable energy.  Hydrogen is the lightest and most abundant element in the universe and when used as an energy source, the only by-products are pure water and heat. our spaceships have been powered by high-tech hydrogen fuel cells for more than 30 years.  Smart technologies that made possible the internet, and vast “distributed” global communication networks, we have to reconfigure our world’s power grids so that people can produce renewable energy share and work as energy internet.  Transitioning the transport fleet to electric plug-in and fuel cell vehicles that can buy and sell green electricity on a smart, continental, interactive power grid.  Energy Grids were planned 100 years back which are not able to fulfill today’s need of utilities with low reliability of power, outages, and aging grid, which is need to be upgraded need to be replace by Smart Grid.  SCADA system investigates the fault and monitors the lack of voltage and current, which contribute blackouts and brownouts.  Researches focusing on 3E’s are as ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMY.  Further Researches need to be done- Algae are the future of clean, inexpensive fuel.  Once the algae is fully grown, it is harvested using Origin Oil’s Algae Appliance and processed into biomass that has nearly the same energy potential as coal and is used to run the energy’s systems.  Max. Solid waste utilizes to generate electricity.  Amount of energy in lightning strike can illuminate the city like Delhi; research must be done to store energy of lightning strike. Need to develop Piezoelectricity.  The process whereby the piezoelectric effect takes place is based on the fundamental structure of a crystal lattice.  Crystals generally have a charge balance where negative and positive charges precisely nullify each other out along the rigid planes of the crystal lattice.  When this charge balance is disrupted by an external force, such as, applying physical stress to a crystal, the energy is transferred by electric charge carriers, creating a surface charge density, which can be collected via electrodes.  Such energy can be stored in capacitors and power can be channeled to energy deficient regions.
