What is alternative energy? Why is it important?
Renewable energy is energy that exists in nature and is continuously generated. Can be used to replace old energy that has been used up and helps reduce pollution problems and does not affect the environment, such as solar energy, water energy, wind energy, biomass energy, etc.
Most of the energy currently used comes from fossil fuels, coal, or natural gas. This energy is used up and gone. It cannot be replaced or regenerated. If it were to regenerate it would take millions of years. The use of these energies will affect the environment and pollute the earth's atmosphere, causing global warming. Therefore, alternative energy has been introduced to replace energy obtained from fossils, coal or natural gas.
How does alternative energy work?
Renewable energy can be used in two ways: direct use and changing energy into the form of electricity, such as directly using renewable energy. For example, Sailing using wind power Preserving food with energy from the sun, etc.
As for changing energy into the form of electricity Which in physics has properties that can transform kinetic energy, mechanical energy, or potential energy, such as solar panels, wind turbines, generators, etc.
Renewable energy can be divided into two main types: non-renewable energy and renewable energy.
1. Wasted energy (Nonrenewable energy) is energy from sources that cannot be regenerated or replaced. It will take a long time to rebuild, millions of years, and there are limited quantities, including coal energy, natural gas, nuclear, oil shale, oil sands, crude oil, etc.
2. Renewable energy (Renewable energy) is energy from natural sources that occur continuously. Once used, it doesn't go away. Can be reused and can be replaced in a short period of time It is clean energy that helps reduce pollution problems that occur in the environment. Reduce the production of greenhouse gases that lead to global warming.
What are the alternative energy sources?
1. Solar Energy
Solar Energy (Solar Energy) is energy obtained from radiation emitted by the sun or sunlight. which consists of light and heat These energies can be used to produce energy that is beneficial to human life, including electrical energy and thermal energy. The solar cell receives sunlight and turns it into electrical energy. There is a process of adjusting the voltage produced with a charge controller. It will adjust and control the voltage to be a direct current with a strength of 12V. Convert direct current (DC) to alternating current with an Inverter to convert it to alternating current (AC) so that it can be used with various electrical equipment in the household. Electrical energy That produced can be stored in batteries.
2. Hydropower
Hydropower is the release of the required amount of water through pipelines. To get to the lower power plant, the hydropower spins the shaft of a water turbine connected to the shaft. of generator This causes the rotor to rotate causing induction to occur in the generator. Until electrical energy is generated and can be stored in reserve.
3.Wind Energy (Wind Energy)
Wind Energy (Wind Energy) is the use of a machine that can convert kinetic energy from the movement of the wind into mechanical energy and then put the mechanical energy to direct use. which is currently used to produce electrical energy
4.Biomass Energy
Biomass Energy is the process of bringing biomass fuel through a conveyor belt into the combustion chamber to heat the boiler to produce high-pressure steam that will be sent to spin steam turbines (Turbines). which is connected to a generator (Generator) to produce electricity.
What is the use of renewable energy within SSC Oil Company Limited?
At present, SSC Oil Company Limited is aware of environmental problems and the effects on the environment. The company has brought in alternative energy. (solar energy) to be used as an alternative in the production process By installing solar photovoltaic cells to produce electricity. With a solar cell installation area of 500 sq m, it can produce 685.44 Kwh of electricity per day or 20,563.20 Kwh per month.
which at present the company Can reduce the cost of importing electricity from (EGAT) by up to 500,000 baht per year and SSC Oil Company Limited is still committed to reducing environmental impact problems.
