BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Understanding energy resources involves considering all types of energy

source from various scientific and technological standpoints, with a focus
on the uses, limitations and consequences of using energy that is
available to humanity. This course sets the scene by considering how
much energy human society uses and the basic concepts of energy,
work, power and efficiency, then briefly investigates the different types of
energy available, their sources and renewability.

Aim of Energy
To reduce the consumption of energy, especially from fossil fuels.
Background: Energy is power derived from the utilization of physical or
chemical resources, especially to provide light and heat or to work
machines.

What is a renewable energy source?
A renewable energy source means energy that is sustainable -
something that can't run out, or is endless, like the sun. When you
hear the term 'alternative energy' it's usually referring to
renewable energy sources too. It means sources of energy that are
alternative to the most commonly used non-sustainable sources -
like coal.

1. Solar energy
2. Wind energy
3. Hydro energy
4. Geothermal energy
5. Biomass energy
6. Tidal energy
1.0 Solar Energy

Solar power is clean green electricity sourced from sunlight. Or in some cases, from heat
from the sun. Installing solar power systems in a residential setting generally means setting
up a solar photovoltaic or a solar thermal system on the roof. Definition of photovoltaic:
Photo = “light” and photons = energy particles coming from sunlight; voltaic = producing a
voltage or volts. Abbreviation = PVSolar energy is a renewable free source of energy that is
sustainable and totally inexhaustible, unlike fossil fuels that are finite. It is also a non-
polluting source of energy and it does not emit any greenhouse gases when producing
electricity. Solar electricity can supplement your entire or partial energy consumption.
Using solar power means reducing your energy bills and saving money. Low maintenance
and unobtrusive, installing solar panels adds value to your home.

Benefits

One of the benefits of solar energy is that sunlight is functionally endless. With the
technology to harvest it, there is a limitless supply of solar energy, meaning it could render
fossil fuels obsolete. Relying on solar energy rather than fossil fuels also helps us improve
public health and environmental conditions. In the long term, solar energy could also
eliminate energy costs, and in the short term, reduce your energy bills. Many federal local,
state, and federal governments also incentivize the investment in solar energy by providing
rebates or tax credits.
2.0 Wind Energy
Wind power involves converting wind energy into electricity by using wind
turbines. The wind comes from atmospheric changes. These include changes in
temperature and pressure which make the air move around the surface of the
earth. A wind turbine captures the wind to produce energy. Wind power is a
clean energy source that can be relied on for the longterm future. A wind
turbine creates reliable, cost-effective, pollution free energy. It is affordable,
clean and sustainable. One wind turbine can be sufficient to generate enough
electrical energy for a household, assuming the location is suitable. Because it
is a renewable resource which is nonpolluting and renewable, wind turbines
create power without using fossil fuels, without producing greenhouse gases
or radioactive or toxic waste. Wind power is one of the best ways to combat
global warming.

Benefits
Wind energy is a clean energy source, which means that it doesn’t pollute the
air like other forms of energy. Wind energy doesn’t produce carbon dioxide, or
release any harmful products that can cause environmental degradation or
negatively affect human health like smog, acid rain, or other heat-trapping
gases. Investment in wind energy technology can also open up new avenues
for jobs and job training, as the turbines on farms need to be serviced and
maintained to keep running.
3.0 Hydro Energy
Hydro power generates power by utilizing the energy of water falling from a
higher position to a lower position. One of these hydro power generation
systems is a "pumped-storage system" , which pumps up water from a lower
reservoir to a higher reservoir during off-peak hours and generates power by
dropping water from the higher reservoir to the lower reservoir during peak
hours. We manufacture an entire generation system for these power plants.
Since hydro power emits a minimal amount of CO2, which is known to be a
cause of environmental pollution and global warming. Effective use of hydro
power is being revalued throughout the world these days.

Benefits
Hydroelectric power is very versatile and can be generated using both large
scale projects, like the Hoover Dam, and small scale projects like underwater
turbines and lower dams on small rivers and streams. Hydroelectric power
does not generate pollution, and therefore is a much more environmentally-
friendly energy option for our environment.
4.0 Geothermal energy
Geothermal energy is power derived from the heat from the Earth. This can be
sources such as the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few
kilometers beneath the Earth’s surface. It may go down even deeper to the
extremely high temperatures of underground molten rock called magma. We
usually only see this when it erupts to the surface in the form of lava.

Benefits
Geothermal energy is not as common as other types of renewable energy
sources, but it has a significant potential for energy supply. Since it can be built
underground, it leaves very little footprint on land. Geothermal energy is
naturally replenished and therefore does not run a risk of depleting (on a
human timescale).
5.0 Biomass energy

Biomass is an energy source derived from organic material such as animal or plant matter
and it is growing in popularity. Proponents increasingly favor biomass use over fossil fuels
due to the low levels of carbon emitted when the material is burned, and see it as the
answer to fighting climate change. However, though it is classed as renewable, questions
have been raised over just how green it really is, with fears that its predominant reliance on
felling and burning trees as a replacement for fossil fuels could do more harm than good.

Benefits

The use of biomass in energy production creates carbon dioxide that is put into the air, but
the regeneration of plants consumes the same amount of carbon dioxide, which is said to
create a balanced atmosphere. Biomass can be used in a number of different ways in our
daily lives, not only for personal use, but businesses as well. In 2017, energy from biomass
made up about 5% of the total energy used in the U.S. This energy came from wood,
biofuels like ethanol, and energy generated from methane captured from landfills or by
burning municipal waste.
6.0 Tidal energy

Tidal power harnesses the energy from the tidal force and wave action in order to generate
electricity. Unlike other primary energy flows, it is a predictable source of energy because
tides occur at expected times. This predictability has an advantage over wind and solar
power since the sun may or may not shine on a particular day and the wind doesn't always
blow the expected amount. Tidal power is still not a dispatch able source of electricity as it
is available when nature provides it, not necessarily when it is needed. Tidal power is not a
widely used energy resource at the moment because its costs outweigh the advantages.
Previously only very specialized locations were able to support these technologies.
However, recent improvements are making tidal power much more cost effective and
adaptable to a wider range of locations. If support for tidal power continues to increase the
industry will likely grow.

Benefits

Unlike other forms ofrenewable energy,wave energy is predictable and it’s easy to estimate
the amount of energy that will be produced. Instead of relying on varying factors, such as
sun and wind, wave energy is much more consistent. This type of renewable energy is also
abundant, the most populated cities tend to be near oceans and harbors, making it easier to
harness this energy for the local population.
7.0 Conclusion
Ongoing concerns about climate change have made
renewable energy sources an important component of the
world energy consumption portfolio. Renewable energy
technologies could reduce CO2 emissions by replacing fossil
fuels in the power generation industry and the transportation
sector.
