Study Notes

Renewable Energy Sources

Tidal power's primary advantage is its predictability and reliability, as tides are highly consistent and can be accurately forecasted.

Solar Panels

The primary difference between monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panels is their crystal structure, with monocrystalline having a single crystal structure and polycrystalline having multiple crystal structures.

Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS)

The primary application of BECCS is to reduce net carbon emissions, as it combines the production of energy from biomass (e.g., crops) with the capture and storage of carbon dioxide emissions.

Hydroelectric Power Plants

The primary environmental concern associated with large-scale hydroelectric power plants is the alteration of natural habitats and ecosystems, particularly for aquatic species, due to the creation of reservoirs and changes in water flow.

Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) Systems

The primary benefit of using CSP systems is their ability to generate electricity on demand, even after the sun sets, by storing thermal energy for later use.
