How are hydro, wind, and solar power used?

Question

or other alternative energy sources.

Answer 1

Most of them are converted to the universal form of energy, electricity. But solar energy is often also stored as heat, and can be stored chemically.

Wind power is usually converted to mechanical power on the way to being converted to electricity, because direct conversion (as in lightning) is a bit hard to manage.

Hydro power can be used as mechanical energy to power machines, but that has been switched to electrical to allow use away from the source.

Answer 2

ok hydo

the water comes though and produces a fiction and it makes thislittle things move and produce a neg. or pos chagrge and irt gives u energy

...srry it isnt discriptive but last time i learned thiswas inthe 6th grade and currently in 9th

Answer 3

generally hydro and wind  are used to generate  alternating current electricity .     solar panels generate direct current electricity.

hydro electric water is generated as it falls , turning generators.

In some cases hydro electric power is stored in a sense; the water generates the electricity, if demand for is low then that electricity is used to pump the water up to the d**n.
