Abstract

Most of the people around the world rely on the conventional energy sources such as oil, natural gas, and coal for their energy needs. Because of the fast depletion of these energy sources, there is a current global need for clean and renewable energy sources (RESs). The RESs are derived from natural sources such as the sun, wind, rain, tides of ocean, biomass, and geothermal. These are also referred as endless energy since they are replenished constantly. They are also considered as the most suitable energy sources for the future to achieve sustainable development, because the energy produced from these renewable sources does not harm the environment. In addition, they produce less pollutant while the energy conversion process.
