Solar
Energy
There
are two types of solar systems. Direct and Indirect Photomic to
Electric.
The
Direct systems use (Photovoltaic) photo- electric cell panel that
collect solar energy and directly convert it to electricity. These
systems can be used for residential or commercial and industrial
applications
The Indirect systems collect solar rays and focus them on a water
supply to generate steam to power steam to electric generators.
These systems are developed as solar farms are usually commercial
and produce electric energy for community power grid.
Wind
Energy
Wind
energy is now being collect through windmill and turbine systems.
These systems have residential (small wind turbines)and commercial
(large wind turbines) applications. These systems have a wide range
of costs. They range from several hundred to many thousands dollars.
Hybrid
Solar-Wind Energy Collection
Most
Green Energy consumers prefer a hybrid system of wind and solar
energy collection by combining a series of solar photocell panels
and wind turbine on to the same windmill tower. These system are
considered the most efficient.
Hydrogen
Fuel Energy
These
systems extract Hydrogen and use it as a fuel for Hydrogen fueled
engines.
These systems are currently being developed by the auto industry
and are coming soon.
Bio-Fuel
Energy
These
system used conventional diesel fuel engines and convert the fuel
system to burn vegetable based oils. At this time the production
of vegetable based oils are not cost effective and cannot compete
financially with petroleum based oil.
Geo-Thermal
Energy
These
systems used the the earth's heat to produce steam to power steam
to electric generators. These are direct steam to electric energy
collection and indirect by drilling to a adequate geothermal temperature
and injecting water to make steam. Steam pockets used in "direct
" systems are infused with minerals and deposits that corrode
and restrict stream system. A binary system for using the geo steam
to heat boiler pressure pot to produce clean steam to power the
steam generators.
To
access the geo thermal heat requires drilling deep to access the
appropriate temperature for making steam or locating natural steam
pockets that are located closer to the terra-surface. These natural
fissures and geo steam pockets can be located by natural geo rock
formations, such as Tufas, a terra-surface outcropping of igneous
rock, that exhibit past prehistoric geo-activity. These systems
are primarily commercial and are cost prohibitive for residential
applications.
