railroads, India has a broad network of railroad lines, the largest in Asia and
the fourth largest in the world. The total rail route length is about 63,000 km
and of this 13,000 km is electrified. The major Indian ports including
Calcutta, Mumbai, Chennai, Vishakhapatnam and Goa handle about 90% of sea-

parts of the world. A comprehensive network of air routes connects the major

Electrical
energy is one of the necessary components of our life. Nowadays, without
electricity, we cannot survive in this world of technology. The energy sources
are classified under two heads based on the availability of the raw materials
used, while generating energy.
1.
Non-renewable
energy sources
2. Renewable
energy sources
As the
name suggests, the sources of energy which cannot be renewed or re-used are
called non-renewable energy sources. Basically these are the energy sources
which will get exhausted over a period of time. Some of the examples of this
kind of resources are coal, oil, gas etc.
These are
the kind of energy source which can be renewed or reused again and again. These
kinds of materials do not exhaust or literally speaking these are available in
abundant or infinite quantity. Example for this kind include
1.
Solar
energy
2.
Wind
energy
3.
Tidal
energy
4.
Geothermal
energy
5.
Biomass
energy
Sometimes
renewable sources are also called non-conventional sources of energy since,
these kinds of materials or these ways of energy production were not used
earlier or conventionally.
