With solar energy, we distinguish usually two conversion types: solar thermal, solar PV (or photovoltaic solar energy) In this study we are focusing more on solar thermal energy. Solar thermal energy is the process where solar radiation is converted...
Since a few centuries, mankind is able to use the wind power through the wind mills. As from the mid seventies, modern wind turbines have been developed with the aim to produce clean electricity. Technology for wind energy has tremendously advanced t...
Geothermal resource consists of underground layers or springs that contain water with a temperature level which is enough to gain useful forms of energy. Usually, the water is heated through the higher temperatures in the earth core. The water...
Hydropower is a form of renewable energy that captures the potential energy of flowing water to convert it into electricity. A distinction is made between: Run-off river systems, where (a part of) the river flow is captured and led along a turbine. P...
