Renewable Energy Sources – Selected Problems
Journal Title: Problemy Mechatroniki. Uzbrojenie, lotnictwo, inżynieria bezpieczeństwa - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents selected issues on several renewable energy sources (RES) such as: wind, solar, and geothermal energy from the Earth's interior. Based on the available literature an assessment of the energy sources availability was made, then typical technical solutions to convert renewable energy into electricity and/or heat were presented, and finally some examples of contemporary wind turbines, solar panels, solar ponds and heating systems with heat pumps were shown. In addition to this the current and projected up to 2035 year global demand for energy was given and the advantages and disadvantages associated with the use of various sources of renewable energy were highlighted.
