What is the primary method of generating electricity from biomass according to the text?

By using bacteria to break down biomass

By converting biomass to a gas or liquid fuel

By harnessing landfill gas only

What is the role of the rotor in the generator as described in the image?

It spins inside a fixed magnet to induce electricity

It heats the water to create steam

It breaks down biomass into usable material

What is thermal generation as described in the text?

The process of burning biomass to heat water in boilers, creating steam that drives a turbine

The process of converting heat directly into electrical energy

The use of solar panels to generate heat

The breakdown of materials by bacteria to release heat

What is a major disadvantage of biomass electricity generation mentioned in the text?

It produces similar greenhouse gases to fossil fuels.

It requires large amounts of water.

It is more expensive than solar energy.

How does biomass electricity generation differ from other renewable sources like wind or solar?

Biomass consumption is balanced by material renewal.

Biomass can only generate power at night.

Biomass is less efficient than other forms.

Biomass does not use natural resources.

What is the primary function of the rotor in a wind turbine?

To convert wind energy into mechanical energy

To generate electrical energy directly

To control the turbine's operations

To stop the turbine from spinning

What is the role of the control box in a wind turbine?

It receives information from the anemometer and weather vane to control the turbine

It spins the magnet to generate electricity

It connects the rotor blades to the nacelle

How does the size of a wind turbine's rotors affect its power generation capacity?

Larger rotors generate more power

Larger rotors generate less power

The size of rotors does not affect power generation

Only smaller rotors are effective in power generation

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of wind power?

It is a renewable source of energy.

It generates clean electricity.

What is the primary function of photovoltaic materials in solar cells?

To convert solar energy into electrical energy

To reflect sunlight away from the solar cell

What is the primary function of a photovoltaic power station or solar farm as described in the text?

To generate electricity using sunlight

To reduce the consumption of fossil fuels

What significant environmental benefit does the Travers Solar Project provide according to the text?

It reduces greenhouse gas emissions

It increases the production of greenhouse gases

Why is solar power considered a renewable source of energy?

The energy from the Sun will not run out

It produces large amounts of greenhouse gases

It can run out like fossil fuels

What is the main disadvantage of solar energy mentioned in the text?

It only works well on sunny days

What is the primary function of a turbine in a hydroelectric generating station?

To convert kinetic energy into mechanical energy

What is the role of the generator in a hydroelectric power station?

To convert mechanical energy into electrical energy

Which of the following is a disadvantage of storage hydroelectricity systems?

They can change where and how water flows, affecting local ecosystems

They can provide irrigation and drinking water

They generate electricity without emissions

They use water from natural rivers

What is pumped storage in the context of hydroelectric power?

A method where water is pumped back to a higher elevation for storage and future use

A method to clean the water before it is used for electricity generation

A method to increase the water flow through turbines continuously

A method to filter out debris from the water

Why do pumped storage systems typically operate pumps at night?

To take advantage of lower electricity prices

Because of higher water levels at night

To prepare for daytime energy use

What is a major disadvantage of run-of-river hydropower systems?

They can generate electricity continuously
