It is estimated that solar energy reaching the Earth, is only about 2% conversion of wind energy, but the total capacity is still very substantial. Global wind energy is about 2.74 trillion kilowatts, which can make create 20 billion kilowatts of wind power, 10 times more than the total amount of water power.
History of human use of wind energy can be traced back to BC. But for thousands of years, the slow development of wind energy technology, did not arouse enough attention. However, since the 1973 world oil crisis, in the conventional energy emergency and the deterioration of the ecological environment of the dual pressures of the global wind energy as part of a new energy has made great progress. Wind energy as a clean and renewable new energy has great potential for development, especially for the coastal islands, inaccessible remote mountainous areas, sparsely populated prairie pastures, as a reliable way to resolve production and life energy. Even in developed countries, wind energy as a clean and efficient new energy is producing more importance.
In recent years, global wind power industry has been in a sustained growth, with the rapid development of the wind energy industry, wind power proportion of the total generating capacity increased. Currently, the global power demand has risen by 2%, while the annual growth of wind power generation is 12%. According to the European Wind Energy Association, the
With no doubt in mind the wind power plants are safer than most power providing resources. Providing clean energy for the human race and having a positive influence on climate change, the wind power industry is on a rise. With help from the government and with companies becoming more prominent on efficient energy, we could see an even bigger demand for wind power. Environmentally, the wind farms are one of the safest because of the low carbon and emission levels. Continuing are efforts to a safer future, the world is looking into wind farms more and more to help generate enough energy for the human
In a growing world, electricity production is becoming a problem due to coal fired electrical plants releasing millions of gallons of greenhouse gases, ecological problems with pollution in water, and health risks concerning workers and people living nearby. But with new technology and advances in renewable energy sources, wind energy is becoming one of the most popular energy sources for many states.
The generation of electricity mainly depends on the quantity of precipitation that falls in a specific area. In 2011, a tidal plant with 254MW began its operation and it has doubled the capacity through out the world to 527MW.
As the global supply of fossil fuels becomes steadily lower, need is growing for new energy sources that are beneficial to the environment and cost-effective. Wind power is one solution to this need. Wind turbines require significant investment, but are cost-efficient in the long term. If construction of turbines is sufficiently increased, the wind may be able to in the future provide a very major portion of global energy.
One of the fastest growing energy sources in the world, wind power is a globally advantageous renewable resource.
How astounding that by creating turbines, we are able to harness that much electricity. Creating jobs for thousands of workers and their families. Now what about solar? The Sun has been around since the beginning of humanity and how foolish of us not to use more of it’s natural rays. Consider harnessing the sun’s power to make electricity.
In recent years, China has surpassed the United States for wind energy production. Due to this, many believe that at this rate, it seems that they will dominate and revolutionize the future of the wind energy industry. In the past couple of years, the United States has been the leader in wind energy production. However, in 2011, China surpassed the United States, and is expected to dominate wind energy in the future due to its many positive aspects and various benefits. Although many people support the idea of wind energy in China, they often question to which category this form of energy belongs to, and what it actually is. Wind falls under the category of green energy, which is usually defined as energy that can be produced in a way that protects the natural environment. Wind energy has many reasons that makes it an ideal source of energy because they are clean, efficient, and endless forms of energy. However, some are against this form of energy because the turbines can be a threat to wildlife, and can disrupt neighboring communities. Even though people may think that wind power has a bad influence on communities and habitats, it is beneficial because it creates less pollution, produces a large amount of energy, and helps create various business and political opportunities.
The lab tested various properties associated with wind turbines while measuring the effect on the power. It was shown that wind turbines can supply a significant amount of energy and power. This wind energy has an important application with wind turbines across windy areas of the United States. These turbines can provide power as a replacement for nonrenewable resources. Although wind energy might not be the most vital form of energy currently, it could become a very important alternate energy source in the near future. Wind turbines can be placed all across the United States wherever there is a strong amount of wind. When talking about implementing wind energy there are a lot of things to think about.
Everyone knows that the wind is one of the most significant factor of weather and climate because of its role in influencing the distribution of energy and moisture between the parts of the globe. Recently, people have begun to exploit the wind energy which is witnessing the fastest growth in the world. In fact, this source of energy is growing rapidly in all parts of the world. So, most of governments are trying to use wind power for different aspects. In addition, two decades of efforts to achieve technical progress has led to the production of very sophisticated wind turbines which are adjustable, easy and quick to install. Wind power may have many disadvantages, but the advantage of wind energy is more than the disadvantages. So, there are many environmental advantages of wind power such as renewable source, reduction of greenhouse gases, reduction of water consumption, and taking a small space in the land.
Wind energy has experienced a positive growth globally as an alternative source of energy (Thresher & Robinson, 2008). Also, it has been used for supplying the deficiency energy needed after the other forms of energy. Globally through innovation and invention, the wind energy has been used as a safe energy. It’s forecasted that the wind energy in the future will supply a significant amount of energy that is required globally. Through technological advancements, this growth of the wind energy is forecasted to continue. Wind energy is harnessed through the use of wind turbines that are used for the production of the energy. The presence of areas in the world that experience strong winds, the wind energy can be harnessed easily through the
We are facing an energy crisis on Earth. Burning fossil fuels are harming the atmosphere; this global warming and affects produces chemicals that hurt our body. People are starting to think about using alternative energy. Wind power would be our first choice, because it’s clean, inexhaustible and renewable. Today, wind power is mainly used in Europe. We believed wind power would be the main source of alternative energy for world use.
The topic of this literature review is wind power and hydropower. The purpose is discovering how wind power and hydropower influences the world and our lives.“Environmental science is the study of the interaction of the living and nonliving components of the environment with special emphasis on the impact of humans on these components. (Hartwick, What is Environmental Science?)
The renewable energy from wind energy has become a popular method of producing energy. When the world realized fossil fuel emission are harmful to our atmosphere, many countries started to look toward renewable energy sources. In recent years the U.S. has given tax incentives and tax breaks for using a renewable energy sources. The U.S. has become the leaders in using wind energy for a renewable resources. Even though wind power energy is growing in popularity among government officials and the general public, however wind energy has some problems and challenges in providing energy to the world, both in the short and the long term. Wind energy used alone is not the approach
