5. Conventional energy sources are also called
As Non-Renewable sources of energy.
Once utilized, they cannot be replaced easily.
The examples of that energy sources are
Coal, Natural gas, Petroleum.
Uranium, Thorium and Lithium are
consist in
This category.

7. 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.

9. 1- They are naturally occurring
fossils fuels with limited stocks.
2- These energy sources are
mainly in transportation sector.
3- It is mostly used to generate electricity
for human as well as country development.

15. 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.
16. 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 non-
conventional sources of
energy because it is non-
polluting and, therefore,
helps in lessening the
greenhouse effect.

19. 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.
20. 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.
21. Wind energy is the kinetic energy
associated with the movement of
atmospheric air. It has been used for
hundreds of years for sailing,
grinding grain, and for irrigation.
Wind energy systems convert this
kinetic energy to more useful forms
of power. Wind energy systems for
irrigation and milling have been in
use since ancient times and since
the beginning of the 20th century it
is being used to generate electric
power. Windmills for water pumping
have been installed in many
countries particularly in the rural
areas.

23. Tides generated by the combination
of the moon and sun’s gravitational
forces
Greatest affect in spring when moon
and sun combine forces
Bays and inlets amplify the height of
the tide
In order to be practical for energy
production, the height difference
needs to be at least 5 meters
Only 40 sites around the world of
this magnitude
Overall potential of 3000 giga watts
from movement of tides
24.
25.
26. First generation, barrage-style tidal power
plants
Works by building Barrage to contain water
after high tide, then water has to pass through a
turbine to return to low tide
Sites in France (La Rance), Canada (Annapolis),
and Russia
Future sites possibly on Severn River in
England, San Francisco bay, Passamaquoddy
