Energy Conversion Technologies

Energy conversion technologies are methods used to change one form of energy into another, usually to produce power or fuel. For example, solar panels convert sunlight directly into electricity, while a coal-fired power plant burns coal to generate steam that spins turbines, producing electricity. Other technologies include wind turbines that turn wind energy into electricity and generators that transform chemical energy in batteries into usable power. These systems aim to efficiently harness natural resources or stored energy to meet our energy needs while minimizing environmental impact.
