RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCESHOW IS ITADVANTAGESRenewable energy it can be replenished continuously and naturallyDISADVANTAGESIn some cases it can produce only a few energyTIPESBiomass enrgyNew nodeThis energy is produce when orgaanic matter is burntUsing this process we obtain thermal energy that later it's going to convert into electrical energyAdvantagesProduces only a few residuesUnlimited energyDisadvantagesIt only produces a few cuantity of energyLarge volume difficult handling and transportUsesProvides heat electricity and gasesit is produced in a biomass power plantProcess:Organic matter is burnt and produces heat that transform water into water vapour that goes thought a tubes moving a turbine that is atach to generator that produce energyHidroelectric energyNew nodeThis energy is produce by the movement of waterUsing this process we obtain kinetic energy that later it's going to convert into electrical energyAdvantagesUnlimited energyLow costClean energyHelps to control floodingProvides waterDisadvantagesHigh transport costDependent on weatherNegative environmetal impactRisk of dam breakageUsesProduction of heat, electricityIt is produces in a hydroelectrical power plantProcess:Water is stored in a dam them a lockgate is open and water goes ti the river passing thought a turbine that moves and electricity is transform by a generatorSolar energyNew nodeThis energy is produce using sunlightUsing this process we obtain thermal energy that later it's going to convert into electrical energyAdvantagesUnlimited energyLow maintenance costClean energyDisadvantagesIt needs large areasAvailability affectUsesProduction of heatTransform directly into electricityIt is produces in a solar power plantProcess:It is transform by solar panels. Panels reflect solarlight and concentrate in a specific point them this point has lot of heat that it can be used directly or be transform into other type of energyEolic energyNew nodeThis energy is produce by the windUsing this process we obtain kinetic energy that later it's going to convert into electrical energyAdvantagesUnlimited energyLow maintenance costClean energyHigh efficiencyDisadvantagesDifficult to storeIt needs large areasWind it can be controlTurbines are loudInterferesDangers to flying animalsUsesTransform directly into electricityIt is produce in a eolic power plantProcess:Wind moves a turbine joinght to a generator that produce electricityOther renewables energysGeothermal energyNew nodeThis energy is produce using the heat of the EarthUsing this process we obtain thermal energy that later it's going to convert into electrical energyAdvantagesClean energyNot depend on weatherDisadvantagesNegative environmental impactPutting it is costly and difficultUsesTransformed directly into electricityit is produce in a geothermal power plantthey are built in areas with volcanic activity or with geysers and natural hot - water springsTidal energyNew nodeThis energy is produce by the movement of the water mainly from tidesUsing this process we obtain kinetic energy that later it's going to convert into electrical energyAdvantagesUnlimited energyClean energyNot depend on weatherDisadvantagesIt only produces a few cuantity of energyNegative environmental impactLimited to certain coastal areasUsesTransformed directly into electricityEnergy is generated by the difference in height between hight and low tideIt is produce in a tidal power plant Process: A part of the sea is divide into two by the tidal power plant the lockgate close in one part the tide lowdown. The lockgate have open. The water of the part that have hight tide fall to the other part, the water that falls pass thought a turbine that is atach to a generator that produce the electricity
