Wind Power - Wind power offers a very attractive source of renewable energy. It can have a visual environmental impact but this is minimised with off shore wind farms. Compared with other renewable sources of energy it is relatively cost effective and uses well tried and tested technology. The major consideration with wind generation is that at times of peak electricity demand with winter low temperatures it is not always possible to match this with maximum generation therefore wind power must form part of a balanced portfolio of generation mix.
Solar Energy - This offers the opportunity to use solar energy on an individual building basis to pre heat hot water supplies. Domestic hot water storage is linked to the solar panels normally situated on the roof of the building and raises the ambient temperature of the stored water saving significant energy. In this instance although to some extent weather dependant the storage element enables the energy source to be better matched to the times of greatest demand. Dependant on the cost of energy supplied to the premises the financial payback can be calculated.
Wave Power - Perhaps less dependant on the prevailing weather conditions than wind power or solar energy as the sea on some parts of our coast is rarely free from any motion. The technology in this case is far more varied with a wider variety of wave generators each offering differing modes of operation. Inevitably the most efficient locations for wave generators is in sea areas of consistent wave height. This also means however that the same locations will bring challenges during installation and maintenance. Wave generation also needs to be considered as part of a balanced portfolio of generation mix.
Hydro Power - Hydro power has been successfully used as a method of Electricity generation for many years and while it must be accepted that the construction of Hydro electric dams does have a significant initial environmental impact in the longer term this may also provide ecological and environmental benefits. The main advantage with Hydro generation is that provided there is sufficient rainfall to maintain the water level behind the damn it is possible to match maximum generation with the peak demand of Electricity. This is a unique benefit of Hydro generation. Hydro power can be considered to cope with base load electricity demand excluding drought conditions.
