by Dan Poltawski ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF WIND TURBINES. Article by ARTHUR MARKAM http://www.WindTurbines.Net.">Wind turbine uses the kinetic power of wind to generate electricity, and since the wind is free and renewable, matched with modern technology, wind turbines offer us cost-effective electricity. The energy coming from this device is eco-friendly because it does not burn fossil fuel so no green-house gases and other pollutants like carbon is emitted. Although its average height might be between 200 to 300 feet, it can only take up a few square meters for the base, allowing the continued use of the land below especially Read more [...]

Wind Energy: The Use of Wind Power, Past and Present

by David

by University of Saskatchewan Wind Energy: The Use of Wind Power, Past and Present Article by Joni Keith The Earliest Use of Wind Energy The history of mankind's use of wind power dates back as early as 200 B.C when rudimentary wind machines were used by the Persians. By the 14th century, the famous Dutch windmills were used to drain the Rhine River delta. The first windmill designed for the production of electricity in the United States was built in 1888. Wind Energy in American History Once upon a time, water pumping windmills and small wind electric generators were commonly used throughout the United States. However, the rural Read more [...]

Wind Farms ? Limitations as Energy Platforms

by Wavy1 Wind Farms ? Limitations as Energy Platforms As modern society searches around for alternative energy sources, wind farms are getting mention. There are, however, limitations regarding wind farms as major energy alternatives. Wind Farms – Limitations as Energy Platforms Wind power is an enticing energy platform compared to fossil fuels. The process works by using the inherent energy in wind as a method for producing electricity. The actual methodology is much like hydropower, but with wind used in place of water. Wind turbines catch the wind, which turns their blades. This turning motion cranks a generator that Read more [...]

Wind Energy : History of Wind Mills

by David

by CERTs Wind Energy : History of Wind Mills Article by Chuck E Perry IV How the wind is generated? The unequal heating of land and water by sun is the main cause of wind generation on the earth's surface. The global installed capacity of wind farm is 6000MW and about 10.6 billion units of electricity were generated in 1996, thus reducing CO2 emission by 10.5 million tones. Wind energy is one of the forms of energy made available by the nature and is available at free of cost. It has been America's greatest natural resources. As per study of NASA U.S has enough stable wind to generate 1.28 trillion KWh of electrical energy per year which Read more [...]
