ENERGY (2 electricity (is the most widely used form of the energy in…

- - - - Electronic power plants are usually located far away from the points where the energy is used for safety reasons, space requirements or physical and geographical considerations
- - - - At this type of power plant, water is heated in a boiler by the heat
        generated from the combustion of a fossil fuel, usually natural gas or coal
      - 3.3 hydroelectric power plants
        
        This type of power plant uses the potential energy provided by the height of the stored water in a dam, converting it into kinetic energy.
- - - - wind power plants: these power plants use the kinetic energy of the wind to move the blades of a rotor at the top of a tower this is referd to as the wind turbine
        wind farms:
        are a clean form of generating electnmty However, they
        can only be instafled in plat.es with appropnate wind conditions.
    - - these plants use the energy from the sun
        
        Photovoltaic power plant
        
        Photo-thermal power plant
    - - These plants use the heat found at deep levels in the earth.
        This heat
        may reach the surface in the form of steam, gases or hot water.
    - - Biomass consists of all organic compounds that are produced through
        produce sugar; its leafy plant is natural processes They may come from the following sources
    - - These power plants use the energy from the seas and the oceans. The
        concept is to use three types of energy from the sea.
