Concept explainers
The similarities in the electricity generation by hydroelectric, tidal and wind sources.
Answer to Problem 16R
The hydroelectric, tidal and wind are the renewable form of the energy and electricity generates by the rotation of prime mover.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The hydroelectric, tidal and wind are the sources of renewable energy. These forms can be used continuously to produce energy.
In these forms, the energy can be generated by rotating some prime mover. The prime mover is Hydro turbine in hydroelectric energy, wind turbine in wind energy and other rotating means in tidal energy.
Conclusion:
Thus, hydroelectric, tidal and wind are the renewable form of the energy and electricity generates by the rotation of prime mover.
