Whether it is food, clothing, housing, travel, education, music, human dependence on electricity is increasing. At present, the way to generate electricity is to use nuclear power generation and thermal power generation as the mainstream. However, nuclear power generation not only has the problem of nuclear waste, but when it encounters natural disasters, the nuclear energy leakage crisis that may occur is an insurmountable problem. . Thermal power generation is converted by the heat energy generated by combustion, which not only consumes a large amount of natural resources, but also causes a greenhouse effect with the problem of generating a large amount of carbon dioxide. Therefore, human beings are constantly seeking the use of alternative energy sources to avoid environmental damage or pollution caused by the above methods.

At present, all of them are converted into the main design direction by utilizing natural resources. The most considered alternative energy sources include hydropower, solar power, wind power, and geothermal power.
