Renewable energy refers to energy obtained from energy sources that can be obtained continuously from nature and are inexhaustible. These energy sources are generally considered environmentally friendly and sustainable. Renewable energy can occur in a variety of forms, but the most common are:
Solar energy: Solar energy refers to the energy obtained from sunlight. This light energy is converted into electrical energy through solar panels. Solar energy is used on a wide scale with technologies such as photovoltaic panels and thermal solar energy systems.
Wind power: Wind energy is obtained through wind turbines that produce electrical energy using the kinetic energy of the wind. Wind power plants are generally located on large areas of land and are effective in areas where wind blows constantly.
Hydroelectric Energy: Hydroelectric energy is obtained by using the potential energy of water. Electricity is produced in hydroelectric power plants using dams and water flow. This involves converting the potential energy resulting from the fall of water into mechanical energy.
