Water
Tidal barrage converts kinetic energy into electrical energy by turbines and generator; hydroelectricity converts GPE of the water to kinetic energy and then electrical energy by a generator
2 of 6
Geothermal Energy
Energy is converted from heat to kinetic to electrical
3 of 6
Solar Heating
Heat and light energy is converted into electrical by solar panels
4 of 6
Solar Cells
Transform light energy directly into electrical energy by generating a direct current
