Alternative Energies

ALTERNATIVE ENERGIES

          You´ve probably heard these two words quite a lot, since it is becoming a very popular term.  Included here are eolic energy, hydroelectric energy, and solar energy.  

          We will be discussing the definition of each of the alternative energy.

        Hydroelectric Energy: The potential energy stored in the water held in dams is made to drive a water turbine and generator which in turn produces electric power. This form of energy generation is called hydroelectric power. 

        Solar Energy: This is the energy which the earth receives from the Sun. This is one of the most promising alternative energy sources, which will be available to the mankind for centuries to come. The only challenge remains to tap the solar energy in the most efficient way. The solar power generation is done by using a series of photovoltaic cells where the solar rays are converted into electricity.

         Eolic Energy: The power of the wind is harnessed to propel the blades of wind turbine attached to an electric generator to generate wind energy. Wind energy is an effective alternative source of energy in areas where the velocity of wind flow is high.

         Biomass Energy: This is the energy developed from the wastes of various human and animal activities like the by-products and wastes from timber industry, agricultural yields, municipal solid waste etc.
