Wind Power

The biggest turbines at the moment have blades over 50 metres long. The rotor diameter is then over 100 metres long, longer than a football field.

Smaller home, or farm, turbines have blades up to 15 metres (50 feet).

The blade length varies depending on output. Typical commercial wind turbines generating around 600kw have blades of 20m.

you can find the approximate length of blades for your turbine if you know the required turbine output.

L=( P/(Cp*0.5*density*pi*(wind velocity^3)))^0.5

value of Cp < 0.59. usually for good turbines 0.45

Wind energy production requires consistent wind speeds of at least 6-9 mph for small turbines and 12-25 mph for larger turbines. Ideal locations for wind turbines are open areas with few obstacles to block the wind, such as hilltops and coastal areas. Proper maintenance and monitoring of equipment are also essential for efficient wind energy production.

Wind turbines are designed to be quiet but all make a sound when the blades are being driven. There is an amount of noise caused by the generating equipment and there is the noise of air turbulence as it passes the blades.

Florida does experience strong winds at times, especially during hurricane season (June to November). These strong winds can be associated with tropical storms and hurricanes that affect the region. However, strong winds are not a constant or daily occurrence in Florida.

One of the cons of sound energy is it is a disturbance to schools, sleep and silence - the three S's. One of the pros of sound energy is being able to hear it as it is used in healing and meditation.

1. It is free, after installation.
2. It is renewable, coming back day in, day out, for ever.
3. It is carbon neutral, that is, it doesn't contribute to global warming by emitting carbon dioxide.
4. It can be used to generate electricity, thus replacing dangerous fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
5. The turbines are awesome and majestic, and serve as reminders to everyone that we can and should be cleaning up our world.

Passive solar heating systems harness solar energy through the design and orientation of a building's windows, walls, and materials to maximize heat absorption. Active solar heating systems use solar collectors, such as solar panels or thermal collectors, to capture solar radiation and convert it into heat for space heating or hot water.

The amount of energy that can be generated from wind depends on factors like wind speed, turbine efficiency, and the size of the turbine. On average, a modern wind turbine can generate enough electricity to power hundreds of homes. Wind energy is a renewable resource that can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels.

Hydropower is a more consistent and reliable source of renewable energy compared to wind power, which relies on wind availability. Hydropower also has the ability to store water in reservoirs for peak demand periods, providing better control over electricity generation. Additionally, hydropower tends to have a longer lifespan and can contribute to flood control and irrigation.

Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of moving air (wind) into mechanical energy by rotating the blades of the turbine. The mechanical energy is then further transformed into electrical energy by a generator connected to the turbine. The generator uses the rotation of the turbine blades to produce electricity.

Wind energy has been utilized by humans for centuries, dating back to ancient civilizations that used windmills to grind grain or pump water. In modern times, wind turbines designed to generate electricity have become more widespread due to advancements in technology and a growing focus on renewable energy sources.

Wind turbines are typically made of steel as the main structural material for the tower and base. The rotor blades are commonly made of fiberglass-reinforced composites, while the nacelle, which houses the generator and other components, is usually made of a combination of steel and aluminum.

- a wind turbine - The propellers or blades around a rotor turn when the wind blows against them, producing energy. This energy passes from the rotor to the main shaft, then spins the generator to create electricity. A tower approximately 100 feet in height holds the wind turbines to capture most energy coming from the wind. Wind turbines can produce electricity for a single building or home as well as distribute electricity through power grids

A small wind turbine typically generates between 400 to 1000 watts of electrical power, depending on factors such as wind speed and the size of the turbine blades. This can be enough to power small appliances or charge a battery.

The greatest benefit that wind turbines offer is the reduced chance of striking a bird with a plane. Great news if you are a pilot. Te ends the up side. Let's look at the negatives now.

1 They kill birds and bats. Massachusetts claims 100K a year there alone.

2. No energy production in real terms. The wind is variable and therefore fossil fuel plants run (at idle) to be available to supply power. Net result, 95% of the energy of fossil fuel plants burn and unused.

3. Land consumption. Besides ugly they take the place of crop land and trees must not be near them.

4. Maintenance. They are very high maintenance devices. Great of you repair them, bad for the environment

The time to build a wind farm can vary depending on its size and location, but typically it can take anywhere from 1 to 3 years. This includes time for site selection, permitting, construction, and connecting the wind turbines to the grid.

Wind power works by converting the kinetic energy of moving air into mechanical energy through the use of wind turbines. When the wind blows, it causes the turbine blades to spin, which activates a generator to produce electricity. This electricity can then be used to power homes, businesses, and other electrical devices.

The wind fuel is one of the forms of renewable energy, in the process of creating wind fuel a generator connected to a propeller and which inturn is connected to a generator which generats power when the wind starts blowing. The power is then stored or relayed to a power plant where in it is stored and used in place of the regular power. Some other forms of renewable energy are Hydropower, Solar power.

Wind power refers to the conversion of wind energy into electricity using wind turbines. Wind energy, on the other hand, is the form of energy produced by the movement of air in the atmosphere. Wind energy is harnessed and converted into wind power to generate electricity.

Yes, however there are strict limits on how high a wind the generator can withstand, and how much energy the generator can produce.

Wind generators are usually equipped with devices to prevent damage in high winds.

A2 On the sea, you mount them on a raft which could be floating, or supported on piles in shallow water. There then has to be a undersea power cable to a land switchyard

A3:

1) Select possible locations for your idea.

2) Survey the Wind one could expect to find at each location. (or have an Engineer do it.)

3) Investigate the regulations and ordinances one would have to comply with.

4) Work out who you will sell the power to and how you plan to get the power to their grid.

5) Work out how you plan to anchor the tower.

6) Work out a design for each site. Rated Capacity, expected output, drawings, plans, ordinances that need to be complied with.

7) Work out the business of your company, finances and who will need contracts to proceed.

8) Get approvals.

9) Let contracts and oversee work.

10) Manage contracts and maintain the wind turbines for their useful life.

11) Remove the turbines at the end of their useful lives and dispose of the material.

Suppose we are constructing an overhead tank and by using a high discharge pump water is filled. An input to a water turbine driven generator is given from this overhead tank. Then the out put (Electrical energy produced by generator) is given to drive this pump. What will be the final result. Same will be the result if you try to drive a train with wind energy.

We need wind power as a renewable energy source to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Wind power is sustainable, clean, and helps combat climate change. It also provides energy security and creates jobs in the renewable energy sector.

There are two basic ways we have today of generating electrical energy:

1). Photovoltaic panels, those greenish-blue glass things that when the sun

shines on them, you can get electricity out of them.

2). An electrical generator ... there are two wires hanging out of, and when you

spin the shaft, you get electrical energy out of the wires.

Method #2 has always been the more common.

-- At hydroelectric dams, falling water turns the generator shaft, and you get

electrical energy out of the wires.

-- At coal-fired, oil-fired, or gas-fired electric plants, you burn coal, oil, or natural gas,

boil water with it, use the steam to turn the generator shaft, and you get electrical

energy out of the wires.

-- At nuclear power plants, you use the heat from uranium fission to boil water,

use the steam to turn the generator shaft, and you get electrical energy out of

the wires.

-- In your car, you use a belt off of the gas-engine to turn the generator shaft,

and you get electrical energy out of the wires.

-- In a wind farm, you put up a giant pinwheel in a place where the wind always blows.

The wind turns the pinwheel, the pinwheel turns the generator shaft, and you get

electrical energy out of the wires.

First of all, I believe that you have the question a bit wrong. I think that what you want to ask is "What type of energy is in wind" rather than what type of energy is stored in wind. Wind would be kinectic energy which means "energy in motion".
