Wind Turbines

Benefits Reducing reliance on carbon based fuels Provide tangible example of alternative energy use on campus Renewable source of energy… infinite supply of wind energy Provide on-site energy generation near point of use

Drawbacks Intermittent wind velocity leads to unpredictable electrical generating capacity High cost per kilowatt hour relative to carbon based fuels Negative aesthetics (turbine specific) Noisy (also turbine specific)

Georgetown Wind Capacity Average wind speeds for Georgetown, TX range from 7-12 mph Intermittent wind velocity prescribes small-scale applications of wind turbines Factors affecting wind turbine output: wind speed, wind density, height of turbine, turbulence
