3. WHAT IS ENERGY
■ Energy lights our cities, powers our vehicles, and
runs machinery in factories. It warms and cools our
homes, cooks our food, plays our music, and gives us
pictures on television.
■ Energy is defined as the ability or the capacity to
do work.
4. ■ RENEWABLE ENERGY:
• Renewable energy can be
generated continuously
practically without decay of
source.
• Some examples are :
• * Solar energy , Wind energy ,
Geothermal energy , Hydro
energy
■ NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY:
• Non-renewable energy is
energy that comes from the
ground and is not replaced in a
relatively short amount of time.
e.g. energy generated from
combustion of fossil fuels , coal
, gas etc.
TYPES OF ENERGY
6. • Hydroelectric Energy
Hydroelectric energy is energy derived from the movement of water. Water has mass. It falls and flows
downward due to gravity. When it moves, it has kinetic energy which can be harnessed. Kinetic energy is
the energy of motion.
• Geothermal Energy
Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth. ... The adjective geothermal
originates from the Greek roots , meaning earth, and (thermos), meaning hot. Earth's internal heat is
thermal energy generated from radioactive decay and continual heat loss from Earth's formation.
• Biomass Energy
The definition of biomass is a renewable energy source from living or recently living plant and animal
materials which can be used as fuel. An example of biomass is plant material that produces electricity
with steam. An example of biomass is animal fossil fuel.
7. • Wind Energy
Wind energy (or wind power) describes the process by which wind is used to generate electricity. Wind
turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. A generator can convert mechanical
power into electricity. Mechanical power can also be utilized directly for specific tasks such as pumping
water.
Solar Energy
When sunlight hits the cells, it knocks electrons loose from their atoms. As the electrons flow through the
cell, they generate electricity. On a much larger scale, solar-thermal power plants employ various
techniques to concentrate the sun's energy as a heat source. ... The sun has produced energy for billions of
years.
8. ENERGY DISTRIBUTION
Electric power distribution is the final stage in the delivery of electric
power; it carries electricity from the transmission system to individual
consumers. ... Primary distribution lines carry this medium voltage
power to distribution transformers located near the customer's premises.
9. ENERGY MANAGEMENT
"Energy management" is a term that has a number of
meanings, but we're mainly concerned with the one that
relates to saving energy in businesses, public-
sector/government organizations, and homes:
When it comes to energy saving, energy management is the
process of monitoring, controlling, and conserving energy
in a building or organization.
10. WHY TO CONSERVE IT ?
We have limited resources available on earth.
Our demands are continuously increasing day by day.
It is possible that someday most of the nonrenewable resources
will be exhausted and we will have to switch over to alternate
energy
Fossil fuels are not renewable sources and the more electricity
we consume, the faster these resources will be depleted.
11. WHAT WE CAN DO
At Home
At Public Places
•We should not keep lights unnecessarily switched on.
• Reduce the energy your appliances consume by
analyzing star ratings.
• Improve your water heating efficiency to reduce
energy costs
• Switch of the fans and lights in the places like bus
terminal and railway stations when not necessary.
• Switch off the street lights.
• Big Hoardings, lightened up for the whole evening
and nights are other wastage of power which can be and
should be avoided
