HOW IS ENERGY PRODUCED AND MANAGED?
Energy
defined is the ability to do work. Energy can transfer from one object to
another. Energy exist from different form such as electrical and chemical energy.
Form of energy
Kinetic energy
Potential energy
Kinetic energy
Kinetic is the energy of moving matter. Also kinetic energy can do work.
Kinetic energy is the energy defends on the object’s mass and velocity.
Potential energy
Potential is the energy stored in an object because of its position or shape.
Primary source of Energy
Coal
Natural Gas
Uranium
Two major group
Renewable
Non-renewable
Renewable source is produced from sources that do not deplete or can be
replenished within a human’s life time.
Non-renewable source contrast which is a natural resource that cannot be readily
replaced by natural means at a quick enough space to keep up with consumption.
Renewable source

Electrochemical (batteries)
Renewable source
Geothermal power
Utilizes the heat energy from the earth’s crust. This heat energy heats up
rocks which in turn heat’s up nearby groundwater. Geothermal energy is
produced by the heat of Earth’s molten interior

Hydroelectric
is derived from the energy of falling or moving water to generate electricity.
Hydropower is a proven, mature, predictable and price competitive technology. A
number of on-and off-grid hydropower plants have been built throughout the
country, including impounding dams and run-of-river types.
Wind power
a wind turbine uses wind to produce electricity. It can generate megawatts of
power depending on the weather conditions. Wind turbines are installed in
strategic locations to harness the mechanical energy from wind.
Solar Cells
a solar cell, or photovoltaic cell, is an electrical device that converts the
energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect, which is physical
and chemical phenomenon.
Solar power technology may not generate energy at night but it is capable
of supplying electricity to the grid at daytime.
Biomass
refers to organic matter from plants and animals (microorganisms).
Organic wastes such as crop remains, manure and garbage usually left to rot can
be used for electricity generation.
Non-renewable source
Fossil fuels
Coal, oil and gas are fossils fuels, which have been formed over the last 600
million years.
Coal is the fossilized remains of huge forest which covered many parts of
the world in prehistoric timed and hence contains biomass.
Electrochemical (batteries)
A battery is a device that stories chemical energy and converts it to
electrical energy, battery involve the flow of electrons from one material to
another, through external circuit.
