The two important kinds of renewable energy

Renewable energy Singapore is an important energy resource. Exploitation and utilization of renewable energy is implementing the scientific concept of development, building a resource-conserving society, to achieve the basic requirement of sustainable development. Adequate, safe, clean energy supply is the basic guarantee of economic development and social progress.

Wind Power

Wind power is a wind energy by wind turbines into a useful form, such as electricity or mechanical energy. Large wind farms are usually connected to the local power transmission network with small turbines used to supply power to remote areas. Residential units enter into production and are capable of powering large appliances to entire houses depending on the size. Wind farm in agricultural land or grazing areas, there is a minimum of the environmental impact of renewable energy Singapore. Although the wind produces only 1.5% of global electricity consumption, it is growing rapidly, from 2005 to 2008 doubled in three years. Achieved a relatively high level of penetration in some countries, accounting for about 19% of its electricity production in Denmark, 11% in Spain and Portugal, 11% in Germany and the republic of Ireland in 2008.Wind power has been directly used to drive sailing ships or converted into mechanical energy to pump water or grain, but today, wind power is the main application of the power. By 2008, Europe's leaders of the world control the development of offshore wind power, owing to the strong wind and shallow water resources in the Northsea and the Baltic, and restrictions on land place due to the dense population and the development of existing.

Hydroelectricity

Hydroelectric power is used of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water. It is the most widely used form of renewable energy Singapore. Once the building hydropower complex, have no direct waste production project. Small hydropower or miniature hydraulic power have become increasingly popular alternative energy sources, especially in remote areas and other energy sources. Small hydropower system can be installed in small rivers or streams with little or no obvious impact on the environment or fish migration. Most small hydropower systems did not use a dam or main water diversion. Just use the water wheel to produce energy. This is about 19% of the world's electricity (up from 16% in 2003), accounting for more than 63% of its electricity from renewable energy Singapore sources. Although many hydropower projects supply public electricity network, but some are created for special industrial enterprises.
