Different Types of Renewable Energy Technology

gtchina 29 April 2016 Renewable Energy

Renewable energy generate from natural resources which can be later replenished naturally. The energy sources such as sunlight, wind, air, rain, geothermal heat et al support to generate technologies that range from solar power, wind power, micro hydro, hydro-electricity, bio fuels, and bio mass et al. The energy from these arenas supports major areas: in electricity production, water & air cooling & heating, and transportation.

Though there are different types of renewable energy technology, wind power ranks lead in the list as per a survey held worldwide. A Hebei based International Educational Exchange Association – Gate to China with the support of Chinese Government after realizing the cumulative benefits of the renewable energy application, welcome scientists and professionals to join the club in generating energy to support the country by all means and in all the aspects through suchtechnologies.

Below appending are the different types of renewable energy technology as:

Solar Energy
Wind Energy
Bioenergy
Hydro Power
Geothermal Energy

Solar energy is the power from sun is a massiveand inexhaustible resource which has the capability of supplying a significant portion to meet the country’s electricity needs. On becoming conscious of the former, Gate to China concentrates more on solar power as inexhaustible renewable energy with the epoch professionals.There are ranges of technologies that include but not just limited to: photovoltaic systems, solar collectors for hot water & electricity generation, passive solar heater & day light generator and space heater & cooler to convert sun’s energy in terms of electricity energy.

For hundreds of years, wind power has been used to harness energy from it. But to the present trend, the technology helps to generate electricity by wind turbines – the modern equivalent. They can be used as stand-alone system, can used by combine with solar cell (photo voltaic) system and even more can be connected with a utility power grid for better usage.

Bioenergy or biomass energy from organic matters is in existence for more than thousands of years in which wood is the largest resource. When compare to the town-side of China, rather than wood, they consider other organic resources to make use of biomass energy. The energy technology applications are of: bio-fuels (which convert biomass energy into liquid as fuels to support transportation department), bio-products (which get converted into fertilizers & chemicals) and bio-power (which get converted into oil or gaseous fuel to generate power electricity.

Hydro power – water bodies mainly the dams are considered into usage to exploit the water movement to generate electricity (hydro-electric power). Reservoir, pumped storage plant or ranches are the technology applications that help to generate energy from the water resource. As the new technology, hydro kinetic energy is the one other source that generates power from heavy water movement such as waves or from heavy water current & tides.

By large and complex power stations, heat emerging out from the earth can be used as source by means of heat pump, air delivery system, and duct work as geo thermal energy. Though there is no commercial technology application in regard to geothermal energy, direct electricity production from earth, direct use of heat from earth’s hot water and heat pumps by making use of shallow grounds to both heat & cooling process are of fewer technology processes that are in use.
