    Energy resources

    Overview
    Energy resources are essential for our modern
    world, propelling everything from the glow of
    city lights to the hum of our electronic devices.
    From ancient forces to cutting-edge
    technologies. There are various types of energy
    resources like:

    Solar Energy Natural Gas


    Geo-thermal Energy Hydro Power Energy
    Nuclear Energy Coal
    Wind Energy Bio Fuels
    Renewable and Non-

    Renewable Energy sources

    Energy resources are the various substances or systems that can be


    tapped into to generate power. They can be split into 2 columns:

    Renewable Energy Resources:


    Renewable Energy Resources are resources that can be replenished over short
    period of time, e.g. solar energy, wind energy, hydro-energy, geothermal energy,etc.
    Non-Renewable Energy Resources:
    Non - renewable energy sources are the energy sources that cannot be replenished
    over short period of time, e.g. coal, oil, nuclear fuels, etc.
    Solar Energy

    Most solar energy is collected


    through photovoltalic cells,
    typically made of silicon that acts
    as a semiconductor.

    The sun's rays contain heat and


    radiation. When the rays hit the
    surface of the silicon cells, they
    cause a release of electrons that
    roam freely.
    Wind Energy

    wind is a form of the solar energy. Its


    caused by the uneven heating from the
    atmosphere by the sun leading to a change
    in the direction and generartion of the
    wind.

    Wind turbines convert the kinetic


    energy in the wind into mechanical
    power. The generator in the wind
    turbine can convert this mechanical
    power into electricity.
    Geo-Thermal Energy

    Cold water is pumped down a bore hole


    several kilometers deep into the hot granite
    rocks underground. Waters comes up
    through a second hole as steam at over
    200°C.

    This high pressure steam can be


    used to drive a turbine
    and generate electricity
    efficiently.
    Coal

    In a thermal power station fueled by coal,


    electricity is generated through a process
    involving a boiler, turbines, and a generator. Coal
    is burned in the boiler, producing heat energy
    that boils water and creates high-pressure steam.

    This steam drives turbines, causing them to rotate


    and activate the generator, which produces
    electricity. After passing through the turbines, the
    steam is cooled and condensed back into liquid
    form to be reused in the boiler. This cycle repeats
    continuously to sustain electricity generation.
    Natural Gas

    To generate electricity from natural gas, we burn


    methane (CH4), which is the main component of
    natural gas, to produce heat. This heat is used to
    create steam by boiling water. The steam is then
    directed to spin a turbine, a large machine with
    blades that turn as the steam flows over them.

    The spinning turbine is connected to a generator,


    which converts the mechanical energy from the
    turbine into electrical energy. This electricity is
    then transmitted through power lines to homes,
    businesses, and other places where it's needed.
    Uses of other resources

    Hydro power energy, Rain and river water gather in a dam-made lake.
    When the water flows down, it turns a turbine that's linked to a generator,
    making electricity.
    Electricity can be obtained from oil through thermal power generation. This
    involves burning refined oil to produce heat, which is then used to boil water and
    generate steam. The steam drives turbines connected to generators, ultimately
    producing electricity. However, this process contributes to environmental
    pollution through emissions released during combustion, underscoring the
    importance of transitioning towards cleaner and more sustainable energy
    sources.
    The nuclear power station uses radioactive elements as fuel. In the boiler the
    nuclear fuel does not burn. But its energy is released by nuclear reaction
    (nuclear fission) which splits atoms. Then the other process works as fuel
    power station.
    Electricity from biofuels involves burning organic materials like crops or animal
    waste to produce heat. This heat boils water, creating steam that drives turbines
    connected to generators for electricity. While renewable, biofuels still emit some
    pollutants, prompting ongoing efforts for cleaner energy solutions.

    Efficiency

    Efficiency is how good something works or how well


    it does its job, like turning things into useful stuff
    without wasting too much.

    The Efficiency of an object can be calculated by


    using the formula:

    conclusion

    Solar power uses sunlight to make energy, and it's


    getting better and cheaper. Nuclear fusion, like what
    happens in the sun, could give us lots of clean energy if
    we can figure it out. These ideas could change how we
    get our energy, making it cleaner and better for the
    Earth. But we need to be smart about using energy and
    think about what's good for the environment so that we
    can have a happy and healthy future.
    Questions

    Q1) What are the major types of energy resources, and how are they

    classified?

    Q2) Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of solar

    and wind energy.

    Q3) How does the process of energy extraction differ between renewable

    and non-renewable resources?

    4) Discuss the concept of energy efficiency?


    Answers

    Q1) Energy resources are categorized into renewable, such as solar and wind, and non-

    renewable, like fossil fuels and nuclear energy, based on their ability to naturally replenish

    over time.

    Q2) Solar power works well in many places and is reliable, but it can be expensive; wind

    power gives a lot of energy but depends on the wind and might have some noisy and visible

    parts.

    Q3) Getting energy from sunlight, wind, and water is kinder to the environment and keeps

    going, but using coal, oil, and uranium for energy involves taking them from the ground,

    and we can't make more of them, causing environmental issues.

    Q4) Energy efficiency means using less energy to do the same tasks, which helps save

    resources, reduce environmental impact, and often leads to cost savings.
