Renewable energy sources and renewable energy potential

Renewable energy sources are all fuel types and energy carriers, different from the fossil ones. Renewable energy is derived from natural processes. Renewable energy has various forms. The purpose of this section is to provide information about renewable energy, renewable energy sources and technologies. To expand the understanding of the rational utilization of renewable energy resources for generating electrical energy, thermal energy, cooling, CHP. To point the economic and social benefits from renewable energy utilization. Renewable energy has various forms. It can be derived directly from the sun, or from heat generated deep within the earth. There are lots of definition used in different countries and regions. If we speak …>>>

Hydro energy sources and energy potential

Hydropower is a clean, renewable and reliable energy source which converts kinetic energy from falling water into electricity, without consuming more water than is produced by nature …>>>

Solar energy sources and energy potential

Solar energy is the radiant light and heat from the sun. Solar radiations one of the most of the available renewable energy on earth. There are three main methods for utilization and transformation of the solar energy – solar thermal, photovoltaic (PV), photochemical.…>>>

Geothermal energy sources and energy potential

Geothermal energy is the heat from the Earth. It is thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth. It’s clean and sustainable. Resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the Earth’s surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma.…>>>

Wind energy sources and energy potential

Wind is air in motion. It is produced by the uneven heating of the earth’s surface by the sun. Since the earth’s surface is made of various land and water formations, it absorbs the sun’s radiation unevenly. When the sun is shining during the day, the air over land masses heats more quickly than the air over water …>>>

Biomass energy sources and energy potential

Biomass is organic material which has stored sunlight in the form of chemical energy. Biomass fuels include wood, wood waste, straw, manure, sugar cane, and many other byproducts from a variety of agricultural processes.
Through the process of photosynthesis, chlorophyll in plants captures the sun’s energy by …>>>

Energy of ocean (Tide energy)

Tidal power, also called tidal energy, is a form of hydro power that converts the energy of tides into electricity or other useful forms of power. Tidal energy is energy that could be obtained from the changing sea levels. It is considered to be a renewable source of energy …>>>

Fuel cells

A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that converts a source fuel into an electric current. It generates electricity inside a cell through reactions between a fuel and an oxidant, triggered in the presence of an electrolyte …>>>
