It's available whenever the wind is blowing. That's why the wind "farms" of

commercial windmills ... sometimes hundreds of them ... are constructed in

extensively researched and carefully selected locations.

Is hydroelectricity available all the time?

Rivers flow all the time (not including times of severe drought) so hydroelectric power plants are able to operate all the time.


What is the difference between wind mills wind generators or wind turbines?

The true difference is use. A wind mill is traditionally used on a farm to power the house where as a wind generator/ turbine is used for electricity on a much higher amount. All of these things are using the power of wind to create electricity/ power for something.


Any energy source that is available all the time?

Solar energy


Would a light bulb be brighter if there is more power available. At different times power companies have more power available. Is this why all our globes blow at the same time and the fridge blows up?

A conventional bulb (non-fluorescent) will be brighter if the voltage is increased - not necessarily if more power is available. Power companies in most countries have requirements about the range of voltages that they are allowed to provide to consumers. For example, in the USA power companies try and keep the voltage supplied between 114 and 126 V. Suppliers of electrical equipment design their products to work with (at least) this range. Whether unusually high voltage is affecting your bulbs and fridge is difficult to say.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of using these resources geothermal and Biomass and Hydro power and solar and wind?

the advantages of solar power system, over geothermal, biomass, and hydro, are a) availability- the sun which is one of the most important success factor in solar is always abundantly available, than in theses other power system. b) clean and cheap-the externalities of all these mentioned power sources are not clean or cheap, their after effect costs much more than what is paid by the consumers c) environmental impact- only solar power system is environmental friendly in all the above mentioned sources of power, green gas, damage to agriculture land, ecological imbalances, from all of them can only be imagined. d)running and maintenance- cost of running and maintenance of solar power system is near zero, while all other for these power system, their running and maintenance cost increases as they get older. i wish you can get my exposition on power systems compared, it answers this question in detail, with dates, tables and graphs.

Where is wind power?

wind power comes from the wind but the wind is not all also you don't need the wind all the time.


What energy source is available all the time?

Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power are available all the time because they rely on natural processes that are consistently occurring, such as sunlight, wind, and water flow. These sources provide a continuous and sustainable supply of energy.


Store Power From Wind Generators?

Those who have wind power generators for home use should consider setting up a battery system so that the power can be stored. After all, it is not going to be windy outside all of the time. Other times, the wind is going to be so strong that it creates excess power. You need to have a way to store this excess so that you can use it when the wind has died down.


Why is wind power better than ordinary electricity?

Wind Power is a clean and Renewable energy, because Wind Power is all around us.


How much is wind power used in the US?

about 1.5% of all power consuption is produced from wind


Disadvantages of generate electricity in a wind turbine?

weather can change, wind does not blow all the time and at the same speed all the time so the power output OS a wind turbine is not as predictable as that of a fossil fuel burning power plant, where you have option of using as much fuel you want, at any time.

Why Wind energy to power an oven problem?

Wind energy is not commonly used to power ovens because the variable nature of wind makes it challenging to maintain a consistent and reliable source of power needed for cooking. Ovens require continuous and steady heat to function properly, which is difficult to achieve with wind energy due to fluctuations in wind speed and availability. Additionally, the conversion of wind energy to electricity for oven use may not be as efficient or cost-effective as using other power sources like electricity or gas.


What are examples of wind power?

wind mills that's all i can really think of or find


Is geothermal energy available all the time?

Yes, geothermal energy is available 24/7, as it is generated from heat stored beneath the Earth's surface. This constant source of heat allows geothermal power plants to produce electricity consistently, unlike some other renewable sources like solar or wind, which depend on weather conditions.


What is the future for wind resource?

Wind power is the fastest growing energy resource on the planet Earth. There is no such thing as an electric powered jet engine, or rocket engine, however, wind power can supply the power to items that get their energy from electricity, so wind power (which does not run all the time except at high altitudes), is being built all over the planet Earth. It will last forever, and wind power does not pollute the air it uses. You can breathe the air that goes through the blades of a wind turbine. Just do not stand too close to a wind turbine. Wind power is Not perfect, but, there is No perfect energy source. Almost every country on the Earth can use wind energy, so it has a very green and bright future. Wind power turbines are being built all over the place and in ever greater numbers. The number of birds and bats killed by wind turbines, is far less than birds or bats killed by other energy sources, such as coal, oil, or natural gas.
