Solution

Renewable Energy:

  1. Energy that is produced by natural processes and constantly replenished is known as renewable energy.
  2. Solar energy, water, wind, tides, geothermal heat, and biomass are a few types of renewable energy.

We would categorize the following two energy sources as renewable:

Solar energy:

  1. Solar collectors are used to capture the sun's radiant heat and light energy.
  2. They consist of solar heating, concentrated solar power (CSP), artificial photosynthesis, photovoltaics, concentrator photovoltaics, solar architecture, and solar heating.
  3. solar energy is then used to generate electricity in the form of light, heat, and several other forms.

Wind Energy:

  1. Wind energy is the energy we obtain from the wind.
  2. Windmills have been used to pump groundwater out for this purpose for hundreds of years.
  3. We use large, tall wind turbines to produce wind energy.
  4. The wind turbines are powered by the earth's surface's natural airflow.
