Renewable energy sources were first utilized around 200 BCE, approximately 2000 years ago.The initial form of renewable energy was the water mill, which operated on friction, harnessing hydro-energy through the rotation of its wheel, converting it into mechanical energy.The second such renewable energy source was the windmill, which transformed wind energy into mechanical energy.From the recent past to the present, an increasing number of methods for creating renewable energy sources have emerged, such as nuclear energy, which converts chemical energy into electrical energy, hydroelectric power plants that convert hydro-energy into electrical energy, geothermal energy that harnesses heat from the earth to produce electricity, and even photovoltaic panels, descendants of solar panels, capable of accumulating energy from any light source, unlike traditional solar panels that only captured energy from sunlight .This paper provides a review of research on these systems in terms of thermodynamic performance, particularly focusing on energy analysis and exergy.
