Advantages and Disadvantages of Tidal Energy

by noor on February 12, 2010 · 0 comments

in Tidal Energy

Tidal energy is used to generate electricity through the use of tidal energy generators. By placing large underwater turbines in areas with high tidal movements, they are used to capture the kinetic motion of the ebbing and surging of ocean tides in order to generate electricity.

tidal energy

Tidal power is a great source of renewable energy, offering great potential for future power and electricity generation due to the massive size of the oceans.

Advantages of Tidal Energy

  • Apart from the initial installation cost, tidal power is free.
  • Tidal energy produces no greenhouse gases or any other kind of pollution.
  • It requires no fuel.
  • Electricity is produced reliably.

How Solar Does And What it Does?

by JessyFebruary 8, 2010

Having dished out plenty of solar power info, I got to thinking whether or not the majority of people are even aware of the brains behind the project, the Solar Panel(!)? Or, if you prefer, the “Green-Hornet-side-kick” of the solar energy team. Whatever the metaphor, lets familiarize us with the photovoltaic physical workings of this super hero enigma.

Biomass Sources

by JessyFebruary 4, 2010

In the context of renewable energy, biomass means both recently deceased and living biological materials such as plant & animal matter, dead trees, yard & wood chippings, which help in the production of chemicals and heat as well as bio-fuel. Oh and lets not forget biodegradable wastes too that can be burnt as fuel too.

Advantages Of Geothermal Energy

by noorJanuary 17, 2010

Geothermal energy is generated by drilling deep holes into the earths crust, and pumping cold water through the hole. When the water rises back to the surface, it is hundreds of degrees Celsius hot, which is then used as steam to drive a turbine which drives a generator creating power, making geothermal energy one of the best alternative renewable energy sources.

How To Determine The Best Place For Installing Wind Turbine?

by Q. AB.December 24, 2009

Careful Planning is needed for Wind Power Plants. Just building a windmill in a windy place doesn’t mean that operating of wind power plant is simple. It’s necessary for wind power plant owners to plan carefully where to locate their machinery and also to check out that how fast and how much wind blows at proposed locations.

Wind Energy as Renewable Energy Source

by Q. AB.December 23, 2009

Air in motion is called wind. Uneven heating of the Earth’s surface generates wind. As Earth’s surface is made of very different type of land and water and it absorbs sun’s heat at different rates.
