fantastic wind turbine locations
DESCRIPTION
Unsure of where to set up a wind turbine?This presentation will show you where. Trust me.TRANSCRIPT
WIND TURBINELOCATIONS!
Ever started a business…
Ever started a business……that sucked?
Don’t blame yourself.
No, wait.
DO blame yourself.
DO blame yourself.Your location probably sucked.
If you’re planning to set up a wind turbine,
Choose a good
LOCATION.
THROUGHOUT HISTORY
Wind energy gained popularity in terms of renewable energy.
THROUGHOUT HISTORY
It has greatly contributed to the economy and livelihood of
the people.
THROUGHOUT HISTORY
In fact, majority find it as an interesting feature for any
landscape.
However, finding the best site for wind turbines is a crucial
task for many.
THROUGHOUT HISTORY
WIND SPEED
WIND SPEED
Since a wind turbine is highly dependent onwind (duh), choose anarea that is open to air.
WIND SPEED
Since a wind turbine is highly dependent onwind (duh), choose anarea that is open to air.
Ideally, wind speedsshould be at least 11to 13 miles per hour.
ELEVATION
ELEVATION
An area that is locatedon higher ground can
produce the best results.
ELEVATION
An area that is locatedon higher ground can
produce the best results.
This is because wind speeds are faster
on higher elevation.
SECURITY
SECURITY
Choose a private place where it is not exposedto the public.
SECURITY
This is to ensure that no one get hurts in casean accident happens.
Choose a private place where it is not exposedto the public.
WILDLIFE
WILDLIFE
Choose a location thatis far away from wildlife.
WILDLIFE
Choose a location thatis far away from wildlife.
The presence of a wind turbine can have an
impact on wildlife andcan even kill birds.
AVIATION
Avoid a place whereaerial activities are commonly sited.

THE 3 MOST COMMON WIND TURBINE LOCATIONS IN THE WORLD ARE:

THE 3 MOST COMMON WIND TURBINE LOCATIONS IN THE WORLD ARE:
MOUNTAINS/HILLS
MOUNTAINS/HILLS
HIGHER ELEVATION = FASTER WIND SPEEDS
MOUNTAINS/HILLS
FASTER WIND SPEEDS = MORE ENERGY
MOUNTAINS/HILLS
(exactly why mountains/hills are good wind turbine locations)
FASTER WIND SPEEDS = MORE ENERGY
DESERTS/PLAINS
DESERTS/PLAINS
Deserts and plains are two of the best places for gathering renewable energy.
DESERTS/PLAINS
Not only are wind speeds very fast,sunlight is also very abundant.
DESERTS/PLAINS
This makes both wind energy and solar energy viable energy sources that can
serve as back-ups of each other.
DESERTS/PLAINS
There are also less obstructions that can hinder the wind, ensuring maximal wind speeds.
OFFSHORE
OFFSHORE
The sea is the best place for setting up wind turbines.
OFFSHORE
WHY?
OFFSHORE
First of all, wind speeds along the sea are extremely fast thanks to little or no obstructions to the wind.
OFFSHORE
Second, it’s far away from land, making sure that no people or wildlife will be affected.
OFFSHORE
The only disadvantage with setting up offshore wind farms is that they cost a lot more to develop
than onshore wind farms.
Here are some examples of great places with wind turbines:
Pennsylvania
The Casselman Wind Power Project is a wind farm that
began commercial operation in 2007, located at Somerset County, Pennsylvania with
23 GE 1.5 MW Wind Turbines.
Denmark
A highly efficient country, 20% of it is taking advantage on
wind energy as their source of electricity.
India
Presently, India generates 5% of its energy from wind power and
this goes up every year.
It is foreseen that India could go beyond other developing
countries in terms of using the alternative energy sources.
Philippines
These wind turbines are the first of its kind in the country, built along the shores of Bangui, Ilocos Norte .
Its geographical feature where sea and land perfectly meet create very
fast and strong winds.
Germany
A total of 21,164 wind turbines with a capacity of 25,777
megawatts were installed in the country all in all by the year end
of 2009.
