AC POWER
What is AC Power? AC stands for alternating current, which means the electrical current frequently reverses direction. AC electricity is measured according to its cycles, with one complete cycle being counted each time a given current travels in one direction and then doubles back on itself.
DC POWER
The term DC is used to refer to power systems that use only one polarity of voltage or current, and to refer to the constant, zero-frequency, or slowly varying local mean value of a voltage or current. For example, the voltage across a DC voltage source is constant as is the current through a DC current source.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Renewable energy sources are energy sources that are always being replenished. Some examples of renewable energy sources are solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, and biomass energy. These types of energy sources are different from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas.
