FOSSIL FUELS
-An impressive renewable resources that
can substitute fossil fuels.
-It can be utilized in to generate
electricity from solar cells, permitting
people to access electricity without letting
go of destructive gasses into the
environment.
-Another source of energy that is very functional is wind
power and presently, it is the quickest- developing
energy source.
-It is the most affordable form of electricity production
that can be accessed.
WIND ENERGY
HYDROELECTRIC POWER
-The most reliable source
of energy.
on Earth because it is
Geothermal Energy
Types of Geothermal
Powerplant
-This is the simplest
and oldest type of
geothermal plant.
-It directly uses
steam from the
reservoir to operate
the turbine.
-The most employed in geothermal plants today.
-Take high-pressure hot water from deep inside the earth and
convert it to steam to drive generator turbines. When the steam
cools, it condenses to water and is injected back into the ground
to be used again.
-Binary power plants are a recent development.
-They have made it possible to produce electricity from
geothermal reservoirs with temperatures lower than
150 degree Celsius
