Alternative Energy Research

Project:Wind Energy

Introduction This energy is generated when wind turbines

convert the kinetic energy in the wind to mechanical energy

It comes from the air’s kinetic energy and is also a result of the uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun

Problem There is no real way to capture energy just to be

able to harness it by having it go through the wind turinbe

Materials We use a wind turbine to be able to use wind

energy by using wind to make electricity. The wind energy turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity.

Data Total costs for installing a commercial-scale wind

turbine will vary significantly depending on the number of turbines ordered. Other Costs include Construction costs and other things such as repair

The costs for a utility scale wind turbine in 2012 range from about $1.3 million to $2.2 million per megawatt capacity installed

Application Wind energy is used today as a wind turbine that

harnesses wind’s kinetic energy and convert it into electricity

This energy isn't being used Florida but is I use of other parts of the country

This energy is being mainly utilized in India, Germany, France, and the UK

Conclusion Wind energy releases no pollution into the air or

water, and does not contribute to global warming while still creating electric energy

They also have disadvantages such as noise disturbance, and is a Threat to wild life,

There is no concerns for this form of energy besides he fact that wind can’t always be predicted.
