power is the ability to support the vast industries and the enterprises of the 6.3 billion people that inhabit this planet. In addition, wind power must be able
to meet the needs of the Earth's population in a renewable, reliable, and responsible manner. In the following paper, wind energy will be evaluated based
on its energy/cost efficiency, possible environmental ramifications, its practicality and the various countries already implementing...show more content...
IV. Discussion and Conclusions:
Wind Power can be defined succinctly as the kinetic energy present in motion that can be converted to mechanical energy. The basic turbine uses
mechanical blades that rotate due to the force of the wind to drive a generator that in turn sends electricity through a transformer into the power lines that
supply energy to homes and businesses. The following diagram details the above–mentioned process1
Energy/Cost Efficiency
Modern technological developments have helped transform wind energy into a more accessible and practical power source. According to the website, the
following criteria can be used to evaluate the efficiency of wind energy2:
Although wind power is completely free and will never be depleted, a concern shared by many is the sheer impossibility of sustaining the wind. Because
of this inconsistency and the ever–changing speeds of wind, power is producing at varying levels. Also, wind turbines have a certain "envelope" in which
