WIND TURBINES
2
A wind farm or wind park is a group of wind turbines in the same location used to produce energy. A large wind farm may consist of several hundred individual wind turbines and cover an extended area of hundreds of square miles, but the land between the turbines may be used for agricultural or other purposes. A wind farm can also be located offshore.
4
Compared to the environmental impact of traditional energy sources, the environmental impact of wind power is relatively minor. Wind power consumes no fuel, and emits no air pollution, unlike fossil fuel power sources.
5
The energy consumed to manufacture and transport the materials used to build a wind power plant is equal to the new energy produced by the plant within a few months. While a wind farm may cover a large area of land, many land uses such as agriculture are compatible, with only small areas of turbine foundations and infrastructure made unavailable for use.
7
The advantages of a wind farm:
It saves energy It doesn’t consume fuel It doesn’t emit pollution to the air The wind is for free Will never finish
8
The disadvantages of a wind farm:
The wind changes, we can’t predict the strenght of it A wind farm covers larege areas It is dangerous for flying birds
10
The types of wind farms:
Located near the houses Industrial wind farms Micro, small and big Onshore wind farms, offshore wind farms
