Biomass-Advantages and Disadvantages

Biomass - Important facts Biomass advantages and disadvantages are associated with some very important facts. Day by day the conventional energy sources like fossil fuels is reducing. Finding sources for conventional energy is a very complicated and lengthy process. But with the increasing population, the need for new energy sources is also rapidly increasing in developing countries and in

Tidal Energy - Advantages and Disadvantages on electricity generation

Tidal Energy - How Tidal energy works- An introduction All flowing water carry with them kinetic energy. When such water encounters a turbine, part of the momentum of the flowing water is transferred ton to the turbine, causing it to rotate. The rotation of the turbine cam then be used to generate electricity. So for electricity generation purpose we must know about tidal energy advantages and

Solar Concentrator Classification: Advantages of Solar Concentrator

Introduction: Definition of Solar Concentrators: Solar Concentrator is a device which concentrates the solar energy incident over a large surface onto a smaller surface. The concentration is achieved by the use of suitable reflecting or refracting elements, which results in a increased flux density on the absorber surface compared to that existing on the concentrator aperture. In order to

Renewable Energy Sources: The Great Green Hope for clean environment

Fossil fuel use is the prime cause of global warming and ocean acidification. Then the obvious solution to that problem is that: Either some way is found out to use fossil fuels, but not let the resulting CO2 escape to the atmosphere, in other words to sequester (catch/lock up) the CO2 , or To find other fuels which do not release CO2 (or other greenhouse gases) Renewable Energy Sources

Solar Air Heater Classification and Advantages

This post provides the description and analysis of different types of solar air heaters used in space heating and drying purposes. The Solar air heaters have the following advantages over other solar heat collectors. Solar Air Heater Advantages The need to transfer heat from working fluids to another fluid is eliminated as air is being used directly as the working substance. The system

Geothermal Energy: Pros and Cons

Every type of energy has its own advantages and limitations. In this article I will discuss about the pros and cons of geothermal energy. What is Geothermal Energy? The earth is a heat reservoir of heat energy in the form of molten interior. Surface manifestation of this heat energy is indicated by hot water springs and geysers discovered at several places. Heat can be experienced

Fixed Dome type – Janata Model Biogas Plant Construction

Biogas can be a great alternative of fossil fuels. It is already in use in many rural areas. Biogas plants use animal waste, plant waste and human waste. All this wastes have great combustible property. Biogas is an excellent renewable energy source. It is produced by the digestion of waste materials by the means of anaerobic reaction. Anaerobic means the absence of Oxygen. In most of the rural

What is the cheapest source of renewable energy ? - Biomass

The conventional energy sources are rapidly depleting because of their excessive use in the modern world. And that's why energy or power generation sectors are very much interested in the utilization of renewable energy sources. The conventional energy source includes Natural Gas, Coal, Nuclear Energy, Crude oil etc. The price of these non-renewable fuels is almost touching the sky and getting

Condenser Classification – De-aeration of Condenser

What is Condenser ? The primary purpose of the condenser is to condense the exhaust steam from the turbine and thus recover the high-quality feedwater for reuse in the cycle. In order for a steam power station to operate an efficient-closed cycle, the condensing plant, cooling water (CW) system, and associated pumps must extract the maximum quantity of heat from the exhaust steam of the

Advantages and Disadvantages of Hydroelectric power - Facts

What is hydroelectric power (facts) ? Let’s start with the hydroelectric power definition: In hydroelectric power plants, the potential energy of water is converted into mechanical energy which runs a generator. Hydraulic power is a naturally available renewable energy source. Power of a hydroelectric power station is given as:

Renewable Energy Sources - Graphical Presentation

What are renewable energy sources ? Renewable Energy Sources refers to the sources which are not at risk of being finished. They are replaced naturally. At present times it seems that the use of renewable sources are inevitable because the non - renewable energy sources are getting scarce. The non-renewables like coal, crude oil. nuclear sources, natural gas, wood fuels, shale oil are almost

Flash Steam Power Plant Powered by Geothermal Energy Schematic Diagram

According to Shell Renewables (a division of one of the worlds largest oil company) , within the year of 2050 half of the worlds energy will come from Renewable sources. Geothermal Energy can be a great source of energy if it is utilized in full potential. Today I'm gonna post a simple schematic diagram of Flash Steam Power plant which runs by Geothermal Energy. Flash Steam Power plant
