Potential energy is the "energy of position" - work done against a so-called "conservative force". Examples include a compressed spring, gravitational potential energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy.
when an apple falls out of a tree, a person jumps off a building and many more
HYDROELECTRIC POWERPLANT is the best example to convert gravitational energy to kinetic energy to electric current.The production of electrical power through the use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water onto the rotor which rotates motor and motor converts the kinetic energy into electric enrgy.
It is renewable because you can always raise an object or raise yourself and gain gravitational potential energy. You cannot run out of gravitational potential energy and even now you have some of the the energy because gravity is always pulling you. It is just a matter of how much gravitational potential energy you have. Go on the top Mt. Everest and you will have more gravitational potential energy than most of the people in the world.

Potential energy is when you do work against a conservative force. Examples are gravitational potential energy; the stored energy in a spring; chemical energy; and nuclear energy.

An advantage for gravitational energy is that gravitational energy is that it can be made/created very easily and transformed easily as well
Any object that is higher than ground level in earth's gravitational field has potential energy stored in it. Examples: 1. A plane or bird in the sky 2. A parachutist 3. Water stored in a dam, or water tanks at some height above earth's surface 4. A satellite orbiting Earth

Some examples are solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy.
