Alternative Energy Sources p
Geothermal
Wind
Not always blowing
Converts kinetic energy (moving wind) into mechanical energy (turbines) to electrical energy
Can affect migratory bird patterns
Different speeds due to location, season,and the surrounding structures
Clean energy NO CO2 emission
Power generated from moving wind
Cost more than traditional energy sources
Cost is decreasing
Hydroelectricity
Dams and run of river
Produced using turbines and generators
Dams have more controlled energy production
Solar
Clean energy, not bad for environment
Sometimes not available ie,night time,winter etc
Cost????????
Most available renewable energy
Thermal energy from the sun
Solar PV panels convert light to electrical energy
Converts light and or thermal energy into electrical energy
Biomass
Organic matter turned to produce heat or energy in the place of fossil fuels
Renewable
Used for fuels or bio-oils
Uses anaerobic digestion to breakdown organic
matter into fuels and power sources
Can be sourced locally and help support the local
Made from
