This document summarizes different types of renewable energy sources including solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, biomass, and nuclear energy. It explains how each renewable source harnesses natural processes or phenomena to generate electricity without the use of fossil fuels. The key renewable energy sources covered are solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, and biomass. It also provides brief descriptions of how various renewable technologies like wind turbines, geothermal, hydropower, and concentrated solar power systems convert natural energy into usable electricity.

1. Energy matters…..
People
Earth
Life
Future is in our hands

2. Renewable Energy
By Mohammad Injadat

3. Renewable energy
• Energy produced from sources that don’t
deplete or can be naturally
replenished(renewed) within time.

4. Most common renewable energy
resources
• Solar
• Wind
• Geothermal
• Hydropower
• Nuclear (Alternative)

5. How Electricity is generated?
Magnetic
Field
Conductor
Movement
Electricity

6. Electricity
AC DC
OR

7. Volts
Amps
Well..
Volts is the Force
Amps is the Flow

8. What gets us shocked

9. Electrical Energy
• Electric Power: How much work required to
operate.
• Measured in Watt [W]
• Energy: How much power consumed in unit
time.
• Measured in Watt.Hour [W.hr]

10. Wind Energy
• Wind is caused by
• uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun
• variations in the earth's surface
• rotation of the earth
• Wind turbines convert the energy in the wind into electricity

11. Geothermal Energy
• within the sub-surface of the earth.
• Carried by water/steam to the surface.
• Can be used for:
• Heating or cooling
• Generate clean electricity

12. Hydropower
• Get the rotation from the energy of the
running water.

13. Biomass energy
• Biomass is organic
• comes from living organisms, such as plants
and animals.
• The most common biomass materials used for
energy are plants, wood, and waste

14. Nuclear Energy
• Splitting atoms in a reactor
• Heat water into steam
• Turn a turbine and generate electricity
All this without
Carbon emissions
Because it uses
uranium not fossil
fuel

15. Solar Energy
• Radiant Light & Heat from the sun
• Harnessed using different technologies:
• Solar heating, photovoltaic, solar-
thermal energy..

16. CSP (Solar Thermal)
• Harvest the Heat energy from
the solar radiation.
• Use the harnessed heat to heat
water into steam and use in a
steam turbine.

17. CSP technologies
• Parabolic Trough
• Solar power Tower
• Linear Mirrors
• Sterling Dish
