Detailed explanation-1: -Renewable energy is energy derived from natural sources that are replenished at a higher rate than they are consumed. Sunlight and wind, for example, are such sources that are constantly being replenished. Renewable energy sources are plentiful and all around us.

Detailed explanation-2: -Renewable energy is energy that comes from a source that won’t run out. They are natural and self-replenishing, and usually have a low-or zero-carbon footprint. Examples of renewable energy sources include wind power, solar power, bioenergy (organic matter burned as a fuel) and hydroelectric, including tidal energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wind is caused by uneven heating of the earth’s surface by the sun. Because the earth’s surface is made up of different types of land and water, the earth absorbs the sun’s heat at different rates. One example of this uneven heating is the daily wind cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is used in generating power and electricity. It can be used in grain milling, land surfing, construction windmills, powered vehicles, water pumping, windsurfing, powered ships, and cargo ships.

Detailed explanation-5: -Land-Based Wind Energy. Wind turbines can be used as stand-alone applications, or they can be connected to a utility power grid or even combined with a photovoltaic (solar cell) system. Distributed Wind Energy. Small wind systems also have potential as distributed energy resources. Offshore Wind Energy.
