Where is Wind Power Being Used? At the end of last year, global capacity was more than 70,000 megawatts – A single megawatt is enough energy to power 250 US homes Germany has the most installed wind energy capacity, followed by Spain, the United States, India, and Denmark. Development is also fast growing in France and China

Conversion into Energy

Pros The energy generated can be stored Inexpensive after installation of turbine Renewable Cons Wind does not provide a constant source of energy Turbines sometimes kill birds and bats

Solving the Problem For the presented situation of the farmer needing an energy source to control his gates wind power would be the most reasonable With the installation of a wind turbine the farmer could be taken off the electrical grid

Solving the Problem Energy would only be needed during the day, but the wind that blows at night could be stored until needed The farmer wanted a “green” energy source and wind is renewable and effective
