Turning the dam into a vast reservoir of excess electricity fed by the solar farms and wind turbines that represent the power sources.
Dam wind turbine solar panels.
Non renewable power stations are those that run on coal fuel oils nuclear natural gas oil shale and peat while renewable power stations run on fuel sources such as biomass geothermal heat hydro solar energy solar heat tides waves.
A turbine generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
The set up is fairly straightforward and will vary slightly based on the individual energy systems that you are using.
Well i believe in solar energy systems as well as the wind mill energy supply.
Mostly in africa nigeria there is alot of sun shine bright radiation and there is no electricity in the region the failure of the old kanji dam this is an old system in the scientific knowledge of the world apart from that my nation is naturally endowed.
Solar panels can take up large chunks of desert previously used by a host of wildlife from pronghorns and tortoises to coyotes and rattlesnakes.
Turbine generators can create electricity using the mechanical energy from many different things.
This would put the wind generators a few feet above the ground and in the very turbulent air.
Wind turbine systems can run as high as 65 000 installed while the average cost nationally for a professionally installed solar panel system is about 8 to 9 per watt.
Cleantec s idea is to add lightweight narrow profile wind generators to the top edge of solar panels.
Wind generators and solar panels can be hooked up together through the same wiring system.
But the enormous power generating capacity of wind turbines doesn t make wind energy a clear winner.
Wind water steam fossil fuels even a human can supply the force needed to produce electricity from a turbine generator.
Compared to solar panels wind turbines release less co2 to the atmosphere consume less energy and produce more energy overall.
This article lists the largest power stations in the world the ten overall and the five of each type in terms of current installed electrical capacity.

Any type of energy comes with some cost to the environment though and solar and wind energy is no different.
That means a 2 kilowatt kw grid tied system with no battery back up can run to 16 000 and a similar 5 kw system could cost upwards of 40 000.
Now it is the focus of a distinctly 21st century challenge.
In fact one wind turbine can generate the same amount of electricity per kwh as about 48 704 solar panels.
