Hydrothermal Energy sources have common factors water (hydro) and warmth (thermal). These geothermal reservoirs of steam occur naturally where magma comes close enough to the surface to heat spring water trapped in fractured or porous rocks, or where water circulates at great depth along faults. Hydrothermal energy is nothing but a type of renewable energy…
SOURCE OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY: Geothermal energy is heat within the earth. The word “geothermal” basically comes from Greek words which are broken into 2 parts geo means (earth) and thermal means (heat). Geothermal energy is a source of renewable energy because heat is continuously produced inside the world. People are using geothermal energy for different…
GEO-PRESSURIZED HOT DRY ROCK: Hot dry rock is an abundant source of heat available for use. A concept for extracting valuable amounts of heat from HDR originated at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1970, and researchers at the Laboratory have received a US patent covering it Attribute Description Basic Definition The Earth’s internal heat, is…

(HAWTs) – Design Considerations HAWTs stands for Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines, which are the most common type of wind turbines used for converting wind energy into electrical power. These turbines have a horizontal axis of rotation, with the blades spinning around a central hub. HAWTs are widely used for generating electricity in wind farms due…
Wind turbines attach the power of the wind and custom it to generate electricity. Merely stated, wind turbines exert the conflict of a fan. In place of using power to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use the wind to form electricity. The wind rotates the blades, which in turn turns a generator to generate electricity….
