Abstract

A procedure for calculating an indicator for the total specific normalized potential of renewable energy sources is proposed for comprehensively assessing the resources of renewable energy sources available in different territories. This procedure allows a typology and a regional analysis of territories to be carried out using the totality of renewable energy resources most significant for the given region as a basis. The developed procedure is applied for carrying out a typology of Indian states with respect to the renewable energy resources available in them. A series of maps showing the quantity of renewable energy resources available for the inhabitants of that country is drawn, which are useful for studying the differences between regions. Similar investigations for the administrative units of the Southern Federal District of Russia are started.
