Q

How to win turbines produce electricity

A

This involves lots of wind turbines open exposed to places like on the moors okay and each turbine has a generator inside when the blades rotate the generator produces electricity

Q

What are the disadvantages of wind turbines

A

They spoil the view there is a lots of wind turbines needed to replace one coal fired power station and they cover a lot of ground they are very noisy and when the wind stops does no electricity produced and you cannot increase supply when there is an extra demand and the initial costs are quite high

Q

What are the advantages of solar cells

A

They have no running costs and produce free energy once that’s up there very reliable source in hot countries and also work in cloudy countries there is no pollution and it is renewable

Q

What are the disadvantages of solar cells

A

Do you have high initial cost you cannot increase the power output when there’s extra demand only works in daytime

Q

How does geothermal power produce electricity

A

In volcanic areas over hot rocks live near to the surface the slow decay of various radioactive elements including uranium produces electricity that can be directly used to keep buildings

Q

What are you advantages of hydroelectric power

A

Tell me a more running costs and nephew course it can be a useful way to generate electricity on a small scale in remote areas and have no impact on humans when they are in remote areas it can provide an immediate response to an increased demand for electricity
There is no pollution

16
Q

What are the advantages of wave power

A

Fuel costs and has minimal running costs with power can be very useful for small islands. There is no pollution

17
Q

Are the disadvantages of wave power

A

They are unreliable since waves tend to die out when the wind drops the initial costs are high and it disturbs the distribution of sea birds and the habitats exposed to view and can be hazardous to vote

18
Q

How does tidal power produce electricity

A

The most common method is my building a tidal barrage which are big dams built across rivers estuaries with turbines in them as the tide comes in and she was at the estuary the water is an allowed to the tire bike I control speed which turns turbines and produces electricity

19
Q

What are the advantages of tidal barrages

A

They have no fuel costs and minimal rallycross they can produce a significant amount of energy they do not produce pollution
Siri are reliable as the tide comes in twice a day without fail

22
Q

What are the disadvantages of tidal barrages

A

Play prevent free access for Boots the spoiled view they alter the habitat of wildlife such a sea creatures the height of the tide is variables to lower tides will provide significantly less energy than bigger tides and they don’t work when water level is the same on either side of the barrage and this happens four times a day
