Harnessing The Sun And Wind: Inside Our Renewable Energy Future | Climate For Change | Ep 2/2
In the second chapter of this two-part documentary series, daring people and enterprises take wind and solar energy to new frontiers across Asia through groundbreaking renewable energy projects. Deploying renewable energy projects on new terrain or on the sea is challenging but it's transforming the region for good.
The programme features the installation of the world's largest nearshore floating solar energy testbed in seawater, SUNSEAP's 5MW floating solar system on the straits of Johor, north of Singapore. The sea presents new challenges and they must innovate to cope with fluctuating tides, waves, as well as wildlife, in order to send electricity back to the mainland.

Renewable Energy Sources - Types of Energy for Kids
Educational video for children to learn what renewable energy source are, which are their main properties and what types of energies exist. The sun, the wind, the power of water or the inner core heat of the Earth are examples of renewable energy sources. These energy resources are produced naturally and for this reason they are not depleted. In this video, children will find out what is sunlight energy, eolic energy, tidal wave energy, hydraulic energy and geothermal energy. Some of the many advantages of renewable energy are that they are environmentally friendly, replenish naturally and are safer because they don't generate toxic waste. Some of the drawbacks would be the lack of resources and natural phenomena in certain areas. Excellent resource for elementary school education.

Renewable Energy – Solar Power
Most of the energy on Earth can be traced back to the Sun. The Sun is more than 140 million kilometers from Earth, yet produces enough light and heat to light up the Earth and keep us warm.
Solar electricity, or solar energy, can be produced when light energy from the Sun is transformed into electrical energy. This is done through special devices called photovoltaic cells. The cells are connected together in large groups to form solar panels.
Solar panels can be attached to the roof of buildings and provide homes with electricity. Large collections of solar panels are often placed in open areas that get lots of sunlight. The electricity they produce is used to power towns and cities.

Every year, the world uses 35 billion barrels of oil. This massive scale of fossil fuel dependence pollutes the earth, and it won’t last forever. On the other hand, we have abundant sun, water and wind, which are all renewable energy sources. So why don’t we exchange our fossil fuel dependence for an existence based only on renewables? Federico Rosei and Renzo Rosei describe the challenges.

New composite material to use sun's heat for cheaper renewable electricity
A Purdue University-led team developed a new ceramic-metal composite and manufacturing process that would make one way to use solar power – as heat energy – more efficient in generating electricity.
Full Story: http://bit.ly/2PGAzlA
“Storing solar energy as heat can already be cheaper than storing energy via batteries, so the next step is reducing the cost of generating electricity from the sun's heat with the added benefit of zero greenhouse gas emissions,” said Kenneth Sandhage, Purdue’s Reilly Professor of Materials Engineering.
The research, done at Purdue University in collaboration with the Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, published in the journal Nature. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0593-1

Renewable Energy – Solar Power
Most of the energy on Earth can be traced back to the Sun. The Sun is more than 140 million kilometers from Earth, yet produces enough light and heat to light up the Earth and keep us warm.
Solar electricity, or solar energy, can be produced when light energy from the Sun is transformed into electrical energy. This is done through special devices called photovoltaic cells. The cells are connected together in large groups to form solar panels.
Solar panels can be attached to the roof of buildings and provide homes with electricity. Large collections of solar panels are often placed in open areas that get lots of sunlight. The electricity they produce is used to power towns and cities.
Solar electricity has many advantages. It is a renewable energy source that will never run out. It also produces no pollution, which is better for the environment. The disadvantages of solar electricity are that the panels require a large amount of space and they can be expensive to install. Solar panels may also produce less electricity on cloudy/overcast days.
Natural Resources
Materials or substances in nature that are used by people are called natural resources. We use many different kinds of natural resources for a range of different purposes.
Rocks, soil, metals and wood are natural resources used to build houses and buildings. Plants and animals are natural resources that are often farmed to produce the food we eat and the clothes we wear. Fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas are also natural resources.
Some natural resources, like fossil fuels, take millions of years to form. We use these resources far quicker than they can be replaced. They are called non-renewable resources.
Other natural resources, like the energy in sunlight, wind and moving water, cannot be used up. They are called renewable resources.
Solar-powered Homes
A solar-powered home is a home that meets all or part of its electricity needs using solar power.
Solar panels are attached to the roof and positioned in a way to absorb as much sunlight as possible. Photovoltaic cells convert the sunlight into electrical energy. The electrical energy is sent to an inverter which makes the electricity available to use.
The electricity can be used to power electrical appliances within the home or stored in batteries to use later. If the solar panels produce more electricity than needed, the electricity can be sent to the electric grid for others to use.

Solar panels may also produce less electricity on cloudy/overcast days.

Every year, the world uses 35 billion barrels of oil. This massive scale of fossil fuel dependence pollutes the earth, and it won’t last forever. On the other hand, we have abundant sun, water and wind, which are all renewable energy sources. So why don’t we exchange our fossil fuel dependence for an existence based only on renewables? Federico Rosei and Renzo Rosei describe the challenges.
Lesson by Federico Rosei and Renzo Rosei, directed by Giulia Martinelli.

A Purdue University-led team developed a new ceramic-metal composite and manufacturing process that would make one way to use solar power – as heat energy – more efficient in generating electricity.
Full Story: http://bit.ly/2PGAzlA
“Storing solar energy as heat can already be cheaper than storing energy via batteries, so the next step is reducing the cost of generating electricity from the sun's heat with the added benefit of zero greenhouse gas emissions,” said Kenneth Sandhage, Purdue’s Reilly Professor of Materials Engineering.
The research, done at Purdue University in collaboration with the Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, published in the journal Nature. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0593-1
The work is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy.
