Abstract:
The study of renewable energy sources has been of universal concern to the world, and has led many institutions and organizations like the European Commission and others to undertake research on sustainable approach to meet the challenges of sustainable energy generation. The electricity generating usually begins with chemical energy and the primary energy type, and the chemical energy converted into thermal energy by combustion. And the thermal energy is then converted into mechanical energy which in turn a change into electrical energy, which also rarely occurs in nature. Virtually, all the electrical energy in use today is manmade. A critical challenge that continues to constrain the advancement of many developing countries is the prevalence of poverty. Nigeria is well positioned to up-scale the use of renewable energy.
