    means combination of two or more than two. A device that combines a silicon solar cell with a triboelectric generator that can harvest wind energy is known as Hybrid Power System. Basically these devices are powered by the renewable energy sources like sun and wind. . Solar energy enters from the rooftops and fom the windows. However, a large amount of wind still gets wasted in cities—normal wind turbines are not suited to urban areas because of their size. Instead of depending on the wind to spin a rotor

    is derived from the rays of the sun, as is evident from its name itself. Solar energy has numerous benefits for users. However, until recent years, this source of energy could be used only during the day. Presently though, the current technology enables individuals to effectively store and use solar power, even during the night. We would be discussing some of the major benefits of solar energy in this article. While it has always been customary to depend on the sun for heat and warmth, generation

    cars -- those that run solely on electricity -- are the cleanest and least expensive to operate” (Hirsch). Since an electric car has less moving parts than a conventional car, there is less wear and tear on the engines. Customers don’t have to worry about gas charges, engine oil, and engine parts. “...Electric and hybrid vehicles exceeded $600 billion last year, nearly equivalent to the United States defense budget" says the article “Climate Deal Is Signal for Industry to Go Green.”(Krauss and Bradsher)

    panels, generates electricity from sunlight. It is a device that converts light energy into electrical energy. There are four types of concentrated solar plant technologies: Parabolic Trough, Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector, Power Towers, and a Dish-Engine. As Solar Energy Industries Association explains, “Parabolic trough systems use curved mirrors to focus the sun’s energy onto a receiver tube that runs down the center of a trough. In the receiver tube, a high-temperature heat transfer fluid (such

    Where would the world be without energy? Well, the answer is nowhere, the earth wouldn’t exist because there would be no nuclear fission of hydrogen occurring on the sun and the earth the earth would freeze over and fall into darkness. Where would we be if there was no energy? We wouldn’t exist, energy is vital to us it provides us with heat and gives us food to eat, and oxygen to breathe. To be more specific no life would exist without energy, energy is a vital resource to the survival of mankind

    Proponents of a world-scale hydrogen economy argue that hydrogen can be an environmentally cleaner source of energy to end-users, particularly in transportation applications, without the release of pollutants like particulate matter and carbon dioxide. However hydrogen continues to have technical obstacles associated with it, including storage issues, due to the fact that hydrogen has a high energy density by weight, but has a low energy density by volume when not highly compressed or liquefied.

    Solar ENERGY The form of electromagnetic energy emitted from the sun and generated by means of a fusion reaction within the sun. There are little terms regarding the solar energy. A valuable source of terms is the ISO 9488:1999 standard, which gives the solar energy into three languages:- Absorber Component of a solar collector that collects and retains as much of the radiation from the sun as possible. A heat transfer fluid flows through the absorber or conduits attached to the absorber. Absorptance:
