How do you distinguish between conventional and non conventional energy?

Conventional current represents the flow from positive to negative; following the direction that independent positively-charged particles would travel. (N.B: equal charges repel, opposite charges attract.) Non-conventional current represents the flow in the opposite direction (from negative to positive) and is the direction in which electrons would flow.

∙ 14y agoUsually fossil fuels (Coal-Gas-Oil) are considered conventional primary energy sources and the power plants based on fossil fuels are called conventional power plants. Also hydraulic power plants are considered conventional plants.
Actually this classification of primary energy sources and power plants is not so scientific classification. What is non conventional in the past is conventional now (as nuclear energy and wind energy) and what is considered conventional now (as nuclear energy) may not be considered so by others having different view points.

Is thermal energy a non conventional source of energy?
This is difficult to decide I think. It has been available for 50 years now - does that make it conventional? It is a well established and reliable energy source.
What are the recent trends in non conventional energy?
bio diesel
Graphs used for non conventional sources of energy?
What is the question?
What are the difference between conventional milling machine and CNC milling machine?
Non conventional Machining is a recent development in machining techniques. It is based on unconventional machining techniques using Laser beam, Electron beam, Electric arc etc. Conventional machining involves the direct contact of tool and work -piece, whereas unconventional machining does not require the direct contact of tool and wor piece. Conventional machining has many disadvantages like tool wear which are not present in Non-conventional machining. Examples : Electric arc machining, Laser cutting , electro discharge machining, plasma cutting etc Advantages of Non-conventional machining: 1) High accuracy and surface finish 2) no direct contact of tool and workpiece, so there is less/no wear 3) tool life is more 4 ) quieter operation Disadvantages of non-conventional machining: 1) high cost 2) complex set-up 3) skilled operator required
Which is used more renewable or non-renewable energy?
non renewable energy
Difference between conventional and non conventional resource of energy?
The difference between conventional and non conventional energy resources is that conventional energy resources are much more common. An example of a conventional energy resource would be oil, a non conventional energy resource would be solar power.
How convert conveniotional energy into non conventional energy?
You don't. There is no difference in the type of energy, between the "conventional" and "non-conventional" types. What makes energy conventional or non-conventional is the SOURCE - a conventional source being one that has been used for a long time.
Definition of conventional and non conventional energy?
Definition of conventional and non conventional energy
Which is a better source of energy conventional and non conventional sources of energy?
non conventional
What are the differences between conventional and non conventional sources of energy?
Conventional sources of energy have been in use for a long time that usually cause pollution and are exhaustible. Non-conventional sources, meanwhile, are recent sources of energy that are inexhaustible and pollution-free.
Is solar energy conventional energy?
No it is non conventional energy.
Non conventional energy sources with focus on solar energy?
how convert conveniotional energy into non conventional energy
Difference between conventional and non conventional sources of energy?
There is no absolute hard and fast definition. But I would say coal, oil, and natural gas, and hydro are conventional. Wind, solar, tidal, and biomass non-conventional. I'm not sure about nuclear.
What is the difference between conventional energy and non conventional energy?
energy we cannot reproduce eg:fossil fuels is called conventional sources of energy energy which can be reproduced for unlimited times.also known as renewable sources eg:light enrg from sun.
What ia a non conventional source of energy?
non conventional energy = renewable energy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy
What is the need of Non conventional machining?
The need for non-conventional machining begins with the need for alternative energy sources. Non-conventional machining requires the use of alternative energy sources including thermal energy or solar energy.
Is it possible to replace non-conventional energy sources in the form of conventional energy sources?
Yes, but all the world's attention is on the reverse, the replacement of conventional energy by non-conventional, so I don't see the point of the question
