what are the pros and cons of: Hydroelectric power, solar energy, tidal/wave energy and wind power?
Posted by admin on May 3, 2012
I just need the basic faults and advantages to these renewable energy sources.
Thank you.
Manisha is wrong !!
Hydroelectric power uses water to drive a turbine and generate electric power. This water may be from a dam and the water is released down a pipe.The water is not heated and turned into steam at all !!!
The main faults with most , solar , tidal and wave types is that the generation rate depends on the weather , its unpredictable , so if is its a very cold cloudy and calm winters day , you may want to use a lot of power on heating , but you may not be able to generate much power using wind , tide , of solar energy.
Hydo electric is the exception here where you can turn a valve on , to generate power when you want to.
Sometimes with nuclear power the reverse is true when we can generate more power than we need and we can not simply turn down or off nuclear power generation , this is an adeal time when we can pump water up in to a high dam and store the potential energy for later use.

Which country has put the ‘solar power energy’ to maximum utility?
Posted by admin on Mar 31, 2012
And which continent also uses this ‘solar electricity’ besides thermal and hydro electricity?
"Maximum utility"? No one. We’ve barely scratched the surface of solar power, we don’t even have the technology to truly realize it’s potential. Commercial photo-voltaics have an efficiency of about 17%, the country that’s the largest consumer of sola products has been Germany but only because of government subsidies, many of which has since been cut to devastating results to the companies that grew to rely on them.
