Types and characteristics of new energy
1. Solar energy
Solar energy is the energy of solar radiation. It is clean, pollution-free, and its reserves are almost endless. The application of solar energy mainly includes photovoltaic power generation, solar water heater, solar power station and so on.
2. Wind energy
Wind energy is the kinetic energy generated by air flow. Wind energy resources are extensive and do not produce greenhouse gas emissions. Wind energy conversion technology has matured, and wind turbines have become the main power source in many areas.
3. Water energy
Water energy refers to the energy of water flow. Hydropower is a clean, renewable energy source, including river water, tidal and wave energy.
4. Geothermal energy
Geothermal energy comes from the heat of the earth's interior. Geothermal energy is stable and can be used for heating, power generation, etc.
5. Biomass energy
Biomass energy is solar energy fixed by plant photosynthesis. Biomass energy is renewable, such as biomass fuel, biodiesel, etc.
