SKILL:
Understands how
ELECTRICAL ENERGY is
made.
How is it produced?
What are its sources
w ELECTRICITY is produced
protons
MATTER
electrons
Distribute the
electricity
they produce to the
homes of
the consumers.
Electricity
is used a home to
cook food, run the electric fan,
Television, radios and some oth
household appliances.
SOURCES OF ELECTRIC
Is an electricity generated
from the suns energy,
collectors are needed.
Solar poweris the conversion
ofsunlightintoelectricity,
either directly using
photovoltaics(PV), or
indirectly using
concentrated solar power.
Concentrated solar power
systems uselensesormirrors
and tracking systems to focus
a large area of sunlight into a
small beam. Photovoltaic cells
convert light into an
electric currentusing the
photovoltaic effect.[1]
SOURCES OF ELECTRIC
Is apower stationwhich
burnsfossil fuelsuch as
coal,natural gasor
petroleumto produce
electricity.
Geo-thermal Power
SOURCES
OF
ELECTRIC
Plant
THERMAL ENERGY uses coal to heat water
I its boiler. When water boils. It changed to
steam turns the turbines causing a
device called generator to run.
(Mechanical Energy --- Electrical Energy)
Geothermal powerispower generatedby
geothermal energy. Technologies in use
include dry steam power stations, flash
steam power stations and binary cycle
power stations.
Countries generating more than
15 percent of their electricity
from geothermal sources include
El Salvador,Kenya, the
Philippines,Icelandand
Costa Rica.
Geothermal power is considered
to be a
sustainable,renewablesource of energy
because the heat extraction is small
compared with the Earth's heat content
