ABSTRACT
Distribution generation is the method in which energy is generated near the consumer end . The renewable resources utilization will not only provide energy but also eco- friendly and reduce the transportation cost also. Distribution generation is the way to harness the energy from renewable resources efficiently. The state J &K is the northern state of our country. India is fully blessed with a large amount of potential for utilization of renewable energy .At present, our state is not able to harness all energy from the resources present . If the state is able to harness, it will beneficial for our state. As wind energy ,hydro energy , solar energy, geothermal energy are abundantly available in the state. The hydro-electric power has tremendous potential for generation of electricity because of presence of network of stream and canals .However ,state J & k have experience an energy cric is our some period. There is also a abundance of At & C losses in over state, the government is also taking some steps to reduce this losses. This paper represent the current scenario , potential and utilization of J & K Renewable energy in the form of solar, hydro, wind and geothermal present in Jammu and Kashmir.
Index terms –potential, current scenario of energy & utilisation
INTRODUCTION
In developing countries like India faces problem of lack of electricity. Distributed Generation represents an opportunity to quickly increase the valve of life of an individual. Distributed Generation has many benefits as compared to convention al one. Distributed Generation include application of small generators typically ranging from 5kw to 10mw near the consumer site. Today bulk of Distributed Generation are used but using fuels that degrade the environment .They produce greenhouse gases ,noise and have high maintance . Hence this problem pushes towards the utilisation of Renewable resources. The state j and k has immence renewable resources but yet not utilized fully .Historically ,central plants of electric grid in which large generation facilities are specially located either close to resources located far from population load centre. It involve lot of transportation costs hence tariffs increase . Due to this problem and crices in our state , govt. both state and central take some steps to reduce this problem . In this paper we deal with the renewable resources energy aspects.
Background of Jammu $ Kashmir;
N latitude and72e80
E longitude The state comprises6.7% of the total geographical area of the country, covering over2.22 lakh square km, of which about 30% is under cultivation. Despite small geographical area, the state is blessed climatic conditions, topography and natural resources for cultiva- of a wide range of agro-horticultural crops
[4]. As per the census
9 petroleum it will be beneficial to harness energy renewable energy to overcome energy problems. Jammu and Kashmir state has immense renewable energy and but till now, not utilize fully. Jammu and Kashmir state in northern region of great Himalayan This mean ambient temperature through out the year ranges from 13 to 28C in our state 25.7C in Jammu, 16.32C In Kashmir and 6.37C in Leh region .Jammu and Kashmir state is one of the potential region of hydroelectric generation due to tawi Indus ,Jhelum , Chenab and its tributaries.

Energy Losses ( AT& C) : The proposed capacity additions by JKPDD will add 238 substations having 2,827 MVA capacity in FY19. Similarly, the addition in lines is expected to improve the HT:LT ratio which will result in reduction of technical losses. The JKPDD will undertake significant initiative in improving the extent and quality of metering and ensure 100% consumer metering and deployment of the most modern techniques including prepaid/smart metering etc. by FY19. The JKPDD is presently faced with AT&C losses to the tune of 64% (FY15) . Region wise AT&C loss levels suggest that the average AT&C losses for Kashmir region are higher at 74.73%, whereas, for Jammu region the AT&C losses are 48.81%. While Kathua, Samba and Udhampur have AT&C loss below 40%.

CASE STUDY:
The solar energy corporation of India(SECI) recently issued a global tender to set up 2.5GW of solar power capacity in kargil district and 5GW of solar power capacity in leh district , both located in the India northern most state of jammu and Kashmir. This tender is part of the overall solar installed capacity target for the state of 323GW. The tender offer one block (solar park) of 2.5GW in kargil, and two blocks (solar park) of 2.5GW each in leh.
Wind energy potential
A wind energy assessment has assessed the wind energy potential in different regions of Jammu and Kashmir. it is evident that Leh region has comparatively higher potential for wind energy. From meteorological data, the average wind velocity in Leh does not fall below 4m/s [4].

13 First wind power plant in jammu and Kashmir : Work on Jammu and Kashmir's first wind power plant will begin in FY 2018 The wind power project will be constructed at Bidda village, Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir. The project is estimated to cost Rs 46 crore National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) has identified a site at Bidda village which can generate 25 MW power Jammu and Kashmir Energy Development Agency (JAKEDA) has made the necessary arrangements to use the available potential of six MW power in the first phase.
Geothermal Potential:
Nature has enriched this geographically isolated and mountainous region with a number of hot springs in Changthang and Nubra regions of Leh Ladakh. According to a survey by a German based NGO a few years ago, the hot springs of Chumathang and Puga valley in the Changthang area alone have the capability of producing 240 Mega Watts (MW) of electricity . The state Govt. should pay attention towards exploiting these geothermal sources of energy for the benefit of people. In case the energy of these hot springs is being harnessed with geothermal technology, Ladakh region will get surplus power supply throughout the year and in this way, a major grievance of the inhabitants of this region can be redressed.

14 CASE STUDY
Potential geothermal development in Puga Valley : Puga Valley in the Ladakh region of Jammu & Kashmir is one of the areas in India, that showed significant potential for geothermal energy in early studies by the Indian government. Puga lies in the south-eastern part of Ladakh and forms a part of the Himalayan geothermal belt. This zone shows evidence of geothermal activity in the form of hot springs, mud pools, sulphur and borax deposits .Studies have indicated that there is a 90% probability that the Puga field could sustain a 20 MW power plant at the current shallow depth of drilling. A 20 MW geothermal plant at Puga could save three million litres of diesel burnt annually in the regi on at a cost of approximately $ 2 million.
CONCLUSION
The wide rage of potential application for distribution generation (DG), decentralization of power system and the trend to use renewable energies in most development countries suggest that DG may have a large share in power generation in future. Nevertheless, more research and development is required to overcome the barriers that DG systems are currently confronting. Higher efficiency, lower emissions and lower capital costs are the main goals these DG systems need to accomplish.
