Source of Electricity

Whats is the source of Electricity?

Definition:Electricity sources are defined as the resources for electric power. Examples of electricity
sources are coal, nuclear, natural gas, water, oil, biomass and wind.

Introduction
Sources of electricity are everywhere in the world. Worldwide, there is a range of energy resources available to generate electricity. These
energy resources fall into two main categories, often called renewable and non-renewable energy resources. Each of these resources can
be used as a source to generate electricity, which is a very useful way of transferring energy from one place to another such as to the home
or to industry.

Non-renewable sources of energy powers can be divided into two types: fossil fuels and nuclear fuel.

The numerous existing energy types can be classified in different ways. Primary types can be used directly, as they appear in the natural
environment: coal, oil, natural gas and wood, nuclear fuels (uranium), the sun, the wind, tides, mountain lakes, the rivers (from which
hydroelectric power can be obtained) and the Earth heat that supplies geothermal energy.

Secondary types come from the transformation of primary energy: for example petrol, that derives from the treatment of crude oil and electrical
power, obtained from the conversion of mechanical energy (hydroelectric plants, Aeolian plants), chemical plants (thermoelectric), or nuclear
(nuclear plants). Electric energy is produced by electric plants, i.e. suitable installations that can transform primary energy (non-transformed)
into electric energy.
