energy conversion technology

Energy conversion technology refers to methods and devices that transform energy from one form into another to produce useful power. For example, a coal-fired plant converts chemical energy in coal into heat, then into mechanical energy, and finally into electricity. Solar panels convert sunlight directly into electrical energy using photovoltaic cells. These technologies enable us to harness natural resources and convert them into forms suitable for our needs, such as electricity, heat, or fuel, facilitating energy use across industries, homes, and transportation systems efficiently and sustainably.
