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.
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.
Conventional energy sources involve burning a fuel to produce heat which will drive a piston like in a car engine or make steam for a turbine like in a power plant. In this way we are converting the chemical energy into kinetic energy. This way they are more popular than non-conventional power sources. Non conventional energy sources usually do not involve burning. Solar energy, wind, water energy, geothermal and nuclear fusion are examples of non conventional energy sources. Some of these sources produce pollution and most of them will run out for as long as humans are around.
Conventional energy sources are coal, oil, natural gas, and hydraulic energy sources.Non conventional energy sources are nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal, wave, tide, and biomass energy sources.
non conventional
Nuclear energy is related to nonrenewable and/or non-conventional primary energy sources.
====================== I don't see why nuclear energy is not considered conventional -- the western nations in general have nuclear power plants to produce nuclear energy. The power plants have been run for decades and nuclear power is a mature technology. I would consider it conventional. What I think is unconventional is when someone claims his "new" method can produce more energy than what he puts in -- basically getting a free lunch, like a perpetual motion machine. ====================== == ==

It is conventional because water is natural
Wind power, solar power, geothermal power, wave power, tidal power, biomass. Some people would add nuclear power.
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.

Definition of conventional and non conventional energy
The conventional bombs are the non-nuclear ones. They use a exotermic chemical reaction to obtain a sudden release of great amount of energy. In such weapons, nuclear fission and fussion are not significant source of energy, and radiocativity is not used as part of its offensive power. Regards, Mario/Brazil
