1.0 Introduction Energy is one of the major inputs of an economy. It directly affects development of human beings and society. Therefore, safeguarding a cheap and stable supply of energy is one of the main objectives of any country. However, increasing world population, high global energy consumption and depletion of global resources has challenged this objective resulting energy as one of the main concerns today’s world. Accordingly, this report focuses on analysing various issues faced by different
economy on a finite resource such as oil. With world energy consumption rapidly rising, demand is increasing for renewable energy sources that have no significant health impact or environmental degradation. Of all these so called “green” energy sources, wind power has been the most widely used. Wind power is based on the same principals as windmills used for centuries; wind turbines harness air currents to perform work. With modern advances, wind can now be used to power cities, industries and homes

I would like to thank also Linkopings Universitet, and specially my supervisor, professor Stig-Inge Gustafsson, for taking responsibility for supervising and helping with the project. Finally, I would like
Wind Power Harnessing the natural power of the wind is by no means a new concept. Asides from sailing, wind power has been utilised for many thousands of years, principally for agricultural purposes. Basic windmills are thought to have been used in Persia (now Iran) as early as the 7th century AD. Their ability to make use of otherwise untapped energy sources without the needs and costs of other alternatives, ensured that they remained the machines of preference in several industries throughout

Vestas Case (20 marks) Report definition: Give a spoken or written account of something that one has observed, heard, done, or investigated Background Information: The above case took place in the high court of justice chancery division patents court. The two parties involved were 1. Mr. Aloys Wobben owner and managing Director of Energon. Energon is a major manufacturer of wind turbines globally as well as a market leader in Germany. Mr. Wobben is the claimant and patentee in the above case. The
The location is on the longitude 0.120151 and latitude 53.484. The intending wind project will make available a suitable method of generating a clean renewable, sustainable and efficient electrical energy to Eau Bank farm community using a single micro wind turbine. The choice of turbine to be installed is based on certain design criteria such as economic value, physical robustness, quiet nature and high efficiency. Gaia wind turbine possesses all the afore-mentioned qualities as a single micro turbine

organic farming, producers have received better yield, on the contrary, many reviewed findings show that in conversion period, farmers have gained lower yield. Many researchers’ evidences have also revealed that, in the long term, organic farming system may work to enhance agricultural productivity (Hoque, 2012). For instance, in many developing countries, significant amount of yield rises in crops and fruits in terms of organic farming projects. These achievements are varied with soil fertility
challenges is electrifying the transportation because transportation shares a large amount of share total energy consumption in the world. While for meeting the continuously increasing energy demand EVs can be the one of best possible solutions.V2G technology provides a mechanism for EVs key requirements for connecting it to the power systems when EVs are parked and are underutilized. While in case of application point of view V2G technology as many applications the most economic entry for this green
