What is the purpose and function of wind farms?
The purpose of wind farms is to generate electricity using wind energy as a renewable resource. Wind turbines within the farm capture kinetic energy from the wind and convert it into electrical power. Wind farms help reduce reliance on fossil fuels, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and contribute to a more sustainable energy mix.
What is the name for wind power?
The name is just wind energy. Wind energy is created by the spinning of wind turbines on wind farms.
Why are wind farms so big?
Wind farms are typically large in order to harness more wind energy and generate more electricity. By having a greater number of wind turbines spread over a wider area, wind farms can capture more wind, which leads to higher energy production. Additionally, building larger wind farms can also help reduce the overall cost of generating electricity from wind power.
Bad things about wind power?
Some drawbacks of wind power include its intermittent nature, as wind is not always blowing, and the reliance on large expanses of land for wind farms. Wind turbines can also be noisy and have visual impact on landscapes. There are also concerns about the impact on wildlife, such as bird and bat collisions with the rotating blades.
What does GW mean in wind power?
GW in wind power stands for gigawatt, a unit of power equal to one billion watts. It is commonly used to measure the capacity of wind turbines or wind farms to generate electricity.
Why are wind farms built?
wind farms are built to produce electricity through wind power
Why Farms are built?
wind farms are built to produce electricity through wind power
Where is wind power used in Canada?
The Canadian Wind power Association has a nice map which shows the locations where wind generators are operating in wind farms. http://www.canwea.ca/farms/wind-farms_e.php The power is usually used nearby where it is generated.
Does Australia use wind power?
Yes. As of 2012, there are 767 operational wind farms in Australia, and another 6785 proposed wind farms.
Why can you make wind farm?
Wind farms are just groups of wind power generators. The term farm is probaby used because they are put up in country areas.
How do wind farms produse electrisaty?
by a generator that converts the wind power to electricity
Where is wind power being harvested And what is the future potential for wind farms?
Ask mr lanier!
Where does wind power need to be situated?
Wind turbines in large farms are usually situated in one of three places: Offshore - Huge wind-farms which can make use of the raw ocean winds Countryside - Usually on top of hills or at the bottom of valleys to make use of the wind rolling over the hills On buildings - Smaller scale and can be used to power perhaps only just the building it is on, and in particularly strong weather conditions, can feed back into the power grid

Would wind be a good resource to use for Australia?
Yes. Wind power is already used successfully in many localities in Australia. As of 2012, there are 767 operational wind farms in Australia, and another 6785 proposed wind farms. See the related link below for more information on these wind farms.
