Sustainable energy – Introduction

Sustainable energy is the provision of energy such that it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Sustainable energy sources are most often regarded as including all renewable sources, such as plant matter, solar power, wind power, wave power, geothermal power and tidal power. It [...]

Renewable energy in the United Kingdom – Wave and tide power

Due to the island location of the UK, the country has great potential for generating electricity from wave power and tidal power. To date, wave and tidal power have received very little money for development and consequently have not yet been exploited on a significant commercial basis due to doubts over their economic viability in [...]

RenewableUK – Introduction

RenewableUK, formerly known as the British Wind Energy Association (BWEA), is the trade association for wind power, wave power and tidal power industries in the United Kingdom. RenewableUK has over 600 corporate members, from wind, wave and tidal stream power generation and associated industries The association carries out research, and co-ordinates statistics and intelligence on [...]

Renewable energy in New Zealand – Sources

Hydroelectricity Geothermal power Geothermal power is a small but significant part of the electrical energy generation capacity of the country, providing approximately 9% of the country’s electricity with installed capacity of 627 MW. New Zealand, like only a small number of other countries worldwide, has numerous geothermal sites that could be developed for exploitation, and [...]

Energy in Sri Lanka – Introduction

Energy sources in Sri Lanka consists primarily of hydro, coal, fossil fuel and biomass, with sources such as photovoltaics and wind power in early stages of development. Other power sources such as geothermal, gas, nuclear, peat, solar thermal and wave power are not used in the current power generation process for the national grid. Adapted [...]

Energy transformation – Other energy conversions

There are many different machines and transducers that convert one energy form into another. A short list of examples follows: * Thermoelectric (Heat → Electricity) * Geothermal power (Heat→ Electricity) * Heat engines, such as the internal combustion engine used in cars, or the steam engine (Heat → Mechanical energy) * Ocean thermal power (Heat [...]
