Advantages of wind energy Wind is a kinetic form of energy. Wind is renewable energy resource- as long as Sun exists, wind will too. Producing of it is growing all over the world mainly in Europe because of its advantages. -the low cost of production -the protection of environment. In 2006 we used the strength of the wind, produced 74229 MW energy all over the world. It is less than 1% of the current consumption in the world.
How can we generate electricity from wind energy? By WIND TURBINES Turbines powered by wind are mounted on towers one hundred or more feet above the ground , where the wind is faster and less turbulent.
How does wind turbine work? Wind turbines have huge blades mounted on a tall tower. The blades are connected to a nacelle, or housing, that contains gears linked to a generator. As the wind blows, it transfers some of its kinetic energy to the blades, which turn and drive the generator.
How can we use wind energy in our household? National grid distributes power around the country.
The benefits of private wind turbines Cut the electricity bill: Wind is free Get paid for what you generate: what you don’t use you can export to the local grid- and get paid for that too. Cut your carbon footprint: wind electricity is green, renewable energy. Store electricity for a calm day: you can store excess electricity in batteries.
We visited a private wind farm in Sokołów They used the produced energy mainly for watering farm lands and for drying vegetables.
