unit-I: Energy Sources and Conversion-Part-II

In the Part-I of first unit Energy and energy conversion we have seen what is energy source, the types of energy sources, and their useful conversion.

In this part, we have seen Convention sources of energy such as Thermal Power plants, Nuclear power plants. Also, we have studied renewable sources of energy i.e. Solar Energy.

In this part -2, we will study the remaining parts of renewable energy sources such as wind, tidal, geothermal, biomass and Fuel cells. Importance of these renewable sources and their types, conversions into useful forms of energy, their applications, cons, and pros, etc.

After study of these sources of energy, we will be able to know the Energy types, their importance, and the need for a future alternate sources of energy to conventional sources as they are going to deplete in near future.

Wind energy is useful for power generation, irrigation, etc.

Tidal energy useful for power generation

Geothermal heat energy conversion into electricity

Biomass energy preparation and then converted into a useful form. particularly beneficial to village areas, remote areas, etc

Fuel cell’s energy conversion from chemical energy to electrical or another useful form etc

This course is useful for first-year engineering students to get an idea about energy forms, types, and their way of conversion. Applications, advantages, and disadvantages,
