Compare and contrast the different forms of energy that are represented below:

1) How is wind energy generated?

2) Analyze the overall energy consumption in a 24 hour period for the following renewable and non-renewable energy sources: Wind, Hydropower, and Gasoline Powered Generator.

3) Discuss the pros and cons for the use of hydroelectric power.

1) Wind energy is generated through a wind turbine. When wind passes through the blades of wind mill, the blades of the wind mill tend to rotate. Due to the spinning of the rotor across the turbine, the kinetic energy from the wind is converted to electrical energy

2) Incase of wind energy, the consumption gets higher when there is more wind and would be zero incase of no movement of blades.

Incase of hydroelectric power, the generation is rather stable and consumption depends on the usage of power from the consumers

Incase of gasoline generator, the generation is also stable subject to availability of gasoline and consumption again depends on the usage of power from the consumers

3) Pros of Hydroelectric power

Cost of electricity generation is less

Can produce green energy

Produce mass volume of electricity

Cons of Hydroelectric power

Requires massive initial investement

Can be installed on certain demographical area
