2 Wind Power By Your Name

3 What is wind energy? Conversion of kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical movement or electricity.

4 History of Wind Power World was explored on wind powered ships.

5 Wind Power Windmills grind grain.

6 Wind Power Ancient Persians pumping water

7 Advantages of Wind Power The energy is: renewable infinitely sustainable

8 Advantages of Wind Power (2) Pollution free No green house gasses No waste products

9 Limitations of Wind Power The system only produces energy when there is wind blowing. It produces relatively small quantities of energy.

10 Disadvantages of Wind Power Wind farms: are large scale operations that require land. can be noisy. are unsightly.

11 Disasters Habitats are reduced. Many wild birds are killed by wind generators. Rare birds might be wiped out.

12 Economic Impact The cost of wind energy is determined by: The initial cost of the wind turbine installation. The interest rate on the money invested. The amount of energy produced.

13 Economic Impact Modern aerodynamics and engineering have improved wind turbines. They are becoming more cost effective. Canadian Tire sells several types for individuals.

14 Economic Impact Generating electricity with diesel generators can range from $0.25 to $1.00 per kilowatt hour.

15 Economic Impact The current rate Hydro Quebec charges is.067¢ per kilowatt hour. The rate across Canada averages between.06¢ and.08¢ per kilowatt hour.

16 USA Price per Kilowatt hour 5.81 ¢ in Tennessee 12 ¢ in California 14.314 ¢ in New York 16.734 ¢ in Hawaii 20 ¢ in parts of California

17 Economic Impact The cost of generating electricity ranges between five and ten cents per kilowatt hour.

18 Reflection Due to increased demand for energy nationally and internationally, something must be done. Wind power is an option that is becoming increasingly economically viable for the average person.
