Renewable Energy Sources
Hydroelectric
Relating to/or denoting the generation of electricity using flowing water to drive the turbine which powers a generator

-
Tidal Power
Is a form of energy obtained from tides into useful forms of power. Although not yet widely used, tidal energy has potential for the future electricity generations. They are more predictable than the wind and sun
How are they used?
Hydroelectricity
The combination of electricity generators and hydraulic turbines allows hydro power systems to convert the potential energy of dame or flowing water into store able electricity generators **
Geothermal
Deep wells, a mile or more deep, can tap reservoirs of steam or very hot water that can be used to drive turbines which power electricity generators
Solar Energy
Photostatic cells which convert sun light into electricity. Or solar thermal technology. where heat from the sun is used to make hot water or steam
Wind Energy
Today's wind turbine is highly involved with machine with more than 8,000 parts
Tidal Power
Produces through the use of tidal energy generators. These large underwater turbines are placed in areas with high tidal movements
