Conventional sources of energy are what would also be described as fossil fuels and also nuclear. The "Non" conventional sources are usually renewables eg wind. Conventional sources (Large power stations) Nuclear Coal Oil Gas Peat / Lignite Non Conventional (Usually smaller) Tidal Wave Wind Solar PV Solar Thermal

∙ 15y agoFor electricity production, I would classify conventional as coal, oil, natural gas, hydro. These have been in use for a century or more, and are still in use, which I think would fit with 'conventional'. Some might extend this to include nuclear, which has been in use for 50 years, but was certainly regarded as unconventional when it started.
I think that now it is more useful to define sources as renewable or non-renewable, which works out a little differently.

Which is a better source of energy conventional and non conventional sources of energy?
non conventional
What are the conventional source of energy?
food and water
Sources of energy for electricity dendrothermal?
Non Conventional Source of 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 are the types of the conventional and non conventional sources of energy?
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.
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.
What are conventional source of energy for mankind?
Currently, human's conventional source of energy is fossil fuel.
Is wind energy a conventional source of energy?
No, wind energy is a non-conventional, or unconventional source of energy. Conventional sources of energy are coal, oil, natural gas and uranium.
