Alternative Energy in Liechtenstein

Introduction

The Liechtenstein lies at the centre of Europe, between Switzerland and Austria, snowy mountains and sunny valleys. The country's energy consumption is approximately 320,000 megawatt-hours. The country is currently using fossil fuels! Fossil fuels include oil, natural gas, and coal. Liechtenstein is located in the mountains. One natural energy source is wind. Besides wind and fossil fuels, some of the other choices are nuclear energy, fuel cells, and solar energy (thermal and PVCs). Being a representative of the solar energy industries, including thermal solar and photovoltaic solar,

Discussion

Energy is the ability to take action. There are many forms of energy, is the most important in the heat and light. Sound is also a power. And there is a "mechanical energy" generated by the machines, and "chemical energy", which is liberated in the event of chemical changes. Can convert energy from the image to another and can operate as if they were your hands machine.  The mechanical energy resulting from the effect of "rubbing" hands"" friction "has turned into heat (Sherman, 2004). The amount of energy the world in the world fixed all the time, energy is not perishing nor develops. And when it seems that the energy had been exhausted, they in fact be turned into a form the other. 

Solar Energy

Without sunlight, life on earth would be simply impossible. In a flash, the sun emits more energy than the world has produced since the dawn of time, and the earth receives every day 10,000 times more than it consumes. Is defined primarily by solar energy as photovoltaic energy, which involves capturing the sun's radiation to the means of photovoltaic modules to generate electricity. Solar energy is produced by the radiation of the sun, direct or diffuse through the atmosphere. The sun produces and endless energy and naturally available in quantity. The annual solar energy received on earth is more than 20 times our energy needs (Parks, 2010). The intensity of energy available at a given point on earth depends on the day of the year, time and latitude. Furthermore, the amount of energy that can be collected depends on the orientation of the receiving device. Today is one of the most developed renewable energies used in the world. Different technologies for capturing the sun's rays make up all the solar energy. It should be noted however that the power of wind or waves also come from the sun, ...
