Abstract

Throughout history, mankind has made progress in social
and technical areas by finding many energy sources and developing energy
systems. For this reason, energy is a necessary and indispensable issue. Today,
due to the increasing demands, the energy requirement has increased even more
than in the past. In order to increase this energy capacity, researches and
studies have been carried out on the use of energy systems more efficiently. They
will be also carried out in the future. In the new global world, great progress
has been made in the energy systems technology and very different systems have
been found. It is clear that these systems provide high benefits in many sectors,
especially in the industrial and transportation sectors. In order to use the
energy for their internal consumption, and also export it, the developed
countries have power plants with large production capacity. For this reason,
the developed countries are competing with each other in energy issues.
Producing mechanical and electrical energy, using underground energy sources
and alternative energy sources are the major factor which keeping pace with the
changing world. In this study, it has been tried to give technical and
statistical information about the use of natural energy, natural gas, coal and
nuclear energy sources and renewable energy systems such as wind, solar, hydro
and biomass. We emphasized which energy system the world head toward for
certain years. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of these systems
have been demonstrated.
