Renewable Energy
Renewable
energy is an energy which comes from natural
resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides,
and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished).
Among the renewable energy includes hydro, wind, solar,
geothermal, tidal, biomass and biofuels.
The most common are:
Hydropower
The potential energy stored in the waterfalls can be
transformed into electrical energy. Hydroelectric plants use the
energy of rivers to operate turbines that drives an
electric generator. Spain uses 15% of this energy to
produce electricity.
Solar
it involves collecting the sun's energy through solar panels and converts it into heat which can be used to satisfy many needs. For example, you can get hot water for domestic or industrial consumption, or to provide heating to homes, hotels, schools or factories. In agriculture you can get other applications such as solar greenhouses that favored improvements in crop quality and quantity of agricultural dryers use less energy when combined with a solar system, and desalination plants or water purification without the use any type of fuel.

Wind Power
Wind energy is the energy from the wind that is, using the kinetic energy generated by the currents of air. It’s obtained through a wind turbine that converts kinetic energy into electricity by wind half of vanes or blades which rotate a central axis connected, through a series of gears (transmission) to an electric generator.
