SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on the application of non-conventional energy sources, specifically tidal, wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass energy. Tidal energy can be harnessed through tidal barrages, lagoons, or stream generators to generate electricity. Wind energy is effectively captured using wind turbines, which can be installed in various locations including offshore and rooftops. Solar energy applications include solar panels, water heaters, and cookers. Geothermal energy utilizes heat from beneath the Earth's surface, while biomass energy converts organic materials into heat or electricity, promoting sustainability and waste management.
