 Renewable energy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Renewable energy (sources) or RES capture their energy from existing flows of energy, from on-going natural processes, such as sunshine, wind, flowing water, biological processes, and geothermal heat flows.
Since most renewable energy is ultimately "solar energy" this term is slightly confusing and used in two different ways: firstly as a synonym for "renewable energies" as a whole and secondly for the energy that is directly collected from sunlight.
The most common definition is that renewable energy is from an energy resource that is replaced rapidly by a natural process such as power generated from the sun or from the wind.

 National Renewable Energy Laboratory -
The world's largest solar collector absorbs a tremendous amount of the sun's energy, averaging about 65 million gigawatts (a gigawatt is one million kilowatts), or 570 quadrillion kW-hr per year - more than 5,000 times the amount of energy used in all forms by humans on the planet.
To convert this thermal gradient into electrical energy, the warm water can be used to heat and vaporize a liquid (known as a working fluid).
The concept of ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) uses the natural difference that exists between warm tropical surface waters and those at depth.
