“A wind turbine is a machine for converting the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy”. (1) The inventor of the first electric wind turbine was Clevelander Charles Brush, who ran his entire Euclid Avenue mansion off of one for 20 years, which later made the cover of Scientific American in 1888. (2) Although the use of alternate energy didn't rise a great deal afterwards, this event did open the eyes for many environmentalists. Wind power is only one of our several “energy source[s] whose…

of renewable energy sources such as wind power is very important. Wind & Wind Turbines Wind is formed from the heating and cooling of the atmosphere, which causes air and air layers to rise, fall and move over each other. This movement results in wind currents. The kinetic energy of wind can be transformed into electrical energy through the use of wind turbines. There are two main types of wind turbines, horizontal and vertical axis. Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) have blades which are connected…

certain proximity to wind turbines and wind farms. Over the past several decades, there has been a resurgence in wind power. This technology is a clean renewable energy source that does not contribute to global warming nor does it create any harmful wastes. As communities look to identify safe renewable energy sources many have turned to wind power; inspired by the numerous benefits and perceived benign risks many have attempted to harness wind power through wind turbines and wind farms. As the Sun…

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 will be mounted on a 18m tower in an…

Abstract Wind force is still the most encouraging renewable energy in the year of 2013. The wind turbine system (WTS) began with a few tens of kilowatt power in the 1980s. Now, multi megawatt wind turbines are widely installed even up to 6–8 MW. There is a widespread use of wind turbines in the distribution networks and more and more wind power stations, acting as power plants, are connected directly to the transmission networks. As the grid penetration and power level of the wind turbines increase…

The Answer Is Blowing in the Wind Wind energy is a term used to describe the process by which the wind is used to generate electricity or mechanical power. This alternative energy source is not a new technology. Wind mills, similar to wind turbines, have been in use since 2000 B.C. and were first developed in China and Persia. Now with the increasing demand for renewable power, wind turbines or wind generators are beginning to be seen scattered over the countryside. Wind power is believed to be a practical…

In today’s world, there are many different sources of energy that can be used to generate electricity. When you think of the word energy, what comes to mind? For me, I think of having the ability to do wok, whether it is moving an object from one place to another, compressing a gas, producing heat, sound, or light, and having the ability to power something. One very important source of energy that has become very popular in todays world for a means of power generation is wind energy, wind power, or…

Wind energy has existed as a resource for power for more than three thousand years, providing power to tasks such as grinding grain and pumping water (U.S. Department of Energy). With the emergence of new technologies and the use of new resources, the windmill and wind turbine has been disregarded for the more efficient oil and coal production of energy, as they are more consistent and produce more power on average than wind can. This is fast changing though; the oil price rise of the late twentieth…

study conducted to improve the working of wind turbines. Some of these researches have been implemented practically while others are still in experimental phase. A literature was prepared by Md. Mahfouz Sarwar, Nazia Nawshin, Muhammad Ali Imam and Mohammad Mashudon on “A new approach to improve the performance of an existing small wind turbine by using Diffuser.” They have studied the improved effect of diffuser on the performance of a small wind turbine system. They have analyzed two hollow structures:…
