CONVENTIONAL ENERGY
SOURCES
Conventional
consist in
This category.
COAL
It is composed of highly complex group of
Substance that are mainly the product
of organic decay.
They have wide range of Physical and
chemical
Properties.
It is formed by the modification of the
plant matter
According to carbon content it is lignite at
lower end and bituminous at higher end.
Petroleum site
Solar Energy
SOLAR ENERGY
Sunlight is the main source of energy on the
earth
as well as in the ecosystem.
All fossils fuels are organic in nature and thus
sunlight is their source of energy.
The amount of solar energy striking on the
earth
is tremendous. The solar energy received by the
Earth is equivalent to 684 billion tones of coal.
Solar energy is used to produce heating effect
As well as Electricity.
Solar energy
Solar
energy is the
most readily available
source of energy. It
does not belong to
anybody
and
is,
therefore, free. It is
also
the
most
important of the nonconventional sources
of energy because it is
non-polluting
and,
therefore,
helps
in
lessening
the
Wind Energy
WIND ENERGY
It is one of the better source of Non-conventional
sources of energy for generation of the electricity.
It has better efficiency over tidal and solar energy
sources.
The site of the windmills shall be at higher
elevations so that velocity of wind is high. The
area should be open in such a way that the wind
strikes with a high velocity to the wind mills.
In some states like Maharashtra, Gujarat,
Tamilnadu gaining a lot of popularity.
WIND ENERGY
In our country, there is a lot of research is
going
on the generation of electricity by the
windmills.
wind mills are also used for to pumping the
water for agricultural purpose, for grinding
food grains.
