Eg Boulder dam Once the electricity is generated‚ it is mixed in with the rest of the power grid. So users of electricity can’t tell if their electricity came from a hydroelectric power plant‚ a nuclear power plant‚ or a wind turbine power plant.

ocean surface. Wave energy is an irregular oscillating low-frequency energy source. They are a powerful source of energy‚ but are difficult to harness and convert into electricity in large quantities. The energy needs to be converted to a 60 Hertz frequency before it can be added to the electric utility grid. Wave energy generation is a developing technology. Although many wave energy devices have been invented only a small number have been tested and evaluated and very few of these have been tested

Question 3 A nuclear power plant (NPP) make used of its nuclear power to generate electricity. The expression “nuclear power” is defined as a controlled release of energy by nuclear fission or nuclear fusion reactions (Nuclear Power‚ 2004‚ p. 2809). The world’s first exposure to nuclear power came with the detonation of two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 by the army of the United State of America (Nuclear Power‚ 2004‚ p. 2809). At that time‚ scientists believed
