Explain the non conventional sources of energy with suitable examples.
Answers
Answer:
Energy generated by using wind, solar, small hydro, tides, geothermal heat and biomass is known a non-conventional energy. All these sources are renewable process of energy generation and do not cause environmental pollution
Answer :-
Definition :-
➛ The sources of energy which are being produced continuously in nature and are in exhaustible are called nonconventional energy (or) renewable sources of energy.
Examples :-
1) Solar energy :-
➛ Solar energy is defined as the transformation of energy that is present in the sun and is one of the renewable energies.
2) Wind energy :-
➛ Wind energy is basically harnessing of wind power to produce electricity. The kinetic energy of the wind is converted to electrical energy.
3) Bio energy :-
➛ Bio-energy, in the form of biogas, which is derived from biomass, is expected to become one of the key energy resources for global sustainable development.
4) Hydro energy :-
➛ The potential energy of falling water, captured and converted to mechanical energy by waterwheels is known as Hydro energy.
5) Ocean Energy :-
➛ Ocean energy refers to all forms of renewable energy derived from the sea. Marine energy or marine power refers to the energy carried by ocean waves, tides, salinity, and ocean temperature differences.
