a) The series of energy transformations in a hydroelectric plant are:
1) Potential energy of water stored behind the dam is converted to kinetic energy as water flows through pipes/turbines.
2) The kinetic energy of flowing water is used to spin turbines.
3) The spinning turbines are connected to generators which convert the kinetic energy of the spinning turbines into electrical energy.
b) Once a hydroelectric dam is constructed, the source of fuel (falling water) is replenished by nature through the water cycle. As long as rainfall continues to fill reservoirs, the dams can generate electricity without incurring significant ongoing fuel costs.

Central heating systems provide more efficient and cost-effective home heating than individual space heaters. They work by producing heat in one central location and distributing it throughout the home. Common fuel sources include gas, oil, coal, electricity, and renewable sources like solar and wind. While initially an expensive luxury, central heating is now considered necessary in many climates due to extreme temperatures and environmental concerns. Proper humidity levels should also be maintained to prevent health issues, using humidifiers if needed. An expert recommends central heating as the best option for most homes.The basics of geothermal

The old method of residential heating and cooling involved burning expensive oil or gas in a furnace to heat air sent through ducts. However, much of the heat went up the chimney rather than heating the home. A new method called geothermal heating and cooling uses heat pumps and underground pipes (closed loops) to extract stable 55 degree energy from the earth to both heat and cool homes efficiently. Geothermal systems provide heating and cooling for around 25% of the cost of fossil fuels and require little maintenance over their 30 year lifespan.Guy pump ad

Maintaining your home's heating system improves efficiency and saves on annual utility costs. Doing a simple tune-up yourself, such as cleaning the blower and ducts with a vacuum and checking for gas leaks, can significantly reduce costs. Both heating and cooling systems use the same ductwork, so keeping the heating system maintained in winter also lowers summer cooling bills. A professional evaluation is still recommended annually as there are parts only a technician can properly assess.

Energy conservation refers to reducing energy consumption through using less of an energy service or being more efficient. There are renewable and non-renewable energy sources. Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydro can be generated continuously without limit, while non-renewable sources like fossil fuels are limited. The Energy Conservation Act was enacted in 2001 to promote efficient energy use and conservation in India. Individuals and industries can conserve energy through practices like using efficient appliances, insulation, adjusting boiler temperatures, recycling waste, and turning off unused devices.Energy Savers Booklet
