Renewable Energy Technology

摘要

The wind demonstration engine provides students with a simple application of renewable energy toward the solution of a straightforward problem. Although renewable energy technology may be a new term for many, students should consider that many technologies associated with renewable energy technology are simply new applications of older or existing technologies. For example, biodiesel has been available almost as long as diesel made from fossil fuel sources. Many fuels derived from feedstocks and methane gases were in use long before more modern gasoline. Finally, even though many of these renewable energy technologies (including wind power) have been harnessed for centuries, there are always new applications for this knowledge, and some of these new applications may be improvements over energy solutions in common usage today.
