Renewable energy includes: solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy, geothermal energy, ocean temperature difference energy, ocean energy biomass, etc.
1. Solar energy
Solar energy is a renewable energy source. It refers to the energy of thermal radiation from the sun and its main manifestation is often called solar rays. Nowadays, it is typically used to generate electricity or provide energy for water heaters.
2. Wind energy
Wind energy is the kinetic energy generated by air flow. A converted form of solar energy. Due to the uneven heating of various parts of the earth's surface caused by solar radiation, the pressure distribution in the atmosphere is unbalanced. Under the action of the horizontal pressure gradient, the air moves in the horizontal direction to formwind.
3. Hydropower
Hydraulic power is a renewable energy source and hydropower is mainly used for hydroelectric power generation. Hydroelectricity converts the potential and kinetic energy of water into electrical energy. A plant that produces electricity from water is called a hydroelectric plant, or hydroelectric power station for short, also known as a hydroelectric power station.
4. Geothermal energy
Geothermal energy is natural thermal energy extracted from the earth's crust and exists in the form of heat. for energy from volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
5. Ocean temperature difference energy
Among different types of ocean energy, ocean temperature difference energy belongs to ocean thermal energy, and its main energy source is ocean of solar radiation conheld in the ocean. The ocean temperature difference energy has the characteristics of huge reserves and relatively stable changes over time. Therefore, using ocean temperature difference energy to generate electricity is expected to provide stable and large-scale energy in some regions.
6. Biomass Energy
Biomass energy is the energy provided by living plants in nature. These plants use biomass as a means of storing solar energy and are renewable energy sources.
