Renewable Energy Vocabulary 

Gap-Fill Exercise
This is an example for a gap-fill exercise that I made using ChatGPT, and something you can also easily make on your own in a similar way with a simple set of prompts.

If you would like to know what prompts I used, visit my profile on LinkedIn and send me a DM message saying “prompt list”. 

I’ll be happy to send you a PDF sheet with the prompts and a brief explanation of what they are for and how to use them! 📥📄

Here’s a simple exercise with fifteen technical terms to fill in the gaps in the text below. The answer key is under the exercise.

💡 You should first try and find the place of the missing words the best you can, and only check the answers after that.

Vocabulary List:

Smart Grid | Wind Farm | Sustainability | Blade | Microgrid | Decarbonization | Energy Efficiency | Intermittent Energy | Cut-in Speed | Carbon Footprint | Renewable Energy | Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) | Energy Transition | Nacelle | Wind Turbine
