3. The energy of a body is its capacity to
do work. It is measured the total
amount of work that the body can do.
Energy is the primary and most
universal measure of all kinds work by
human beings and nature.
The sources of energy which are
being produced continuously in
nature and are in exhaustible are
called renewable sources of
energy (or)
non-conventional energy.
Some of these sources are:
(a) Wind energy
(b) Tidal energy
(c) Solar energy

5. Geothermal Energy

7. ADVANTAGES

8. Not enough places to built geothermal power
station
Geothermal sites can also run out of steam
for decades
It costs a lot of money to build a
geothermal power station
Emitted noxious gases and minerals can be
difficult to dispose safely
Pollutants cause global warming and acid rain
and land stability is also affected

9. When the water flows from the earth
make its way down close to the hot
Flash
rock (lava), it turns the water into
Dry Stream
steam. The hot water can reach to Power
over 148ºC. This is how it works in a Stream
Power Plant
geothermal power plan. Steam rotates

a turbine and it activates a generator

16. In the western countries, most of the power
utilities have adopted the energy
conservation programs supported by their
governments.
For Example: The provincial government of
Ontario’s state observed that their summer
peak demand has increased due to increased
air conditioning. In order to handle this
situation their provincial government
committed to reduce energy demand in their
province by 5%.

18. This study of Non Conventional Sources Of
Energy is valuable as it will meet the energy
Needs in future, as conventional sources of Energy is going to
exhaust in future and these sources of energy are also harming the
environment directly or indirectly. Energy conservation has saved
the need for many power plants and fuel imports. Regulations on
efficiency work, but voluntary efforts lag far behind.

that has got us into
this situation is not
the kind of thinking
that will get us out “
