This document provides an overview of wind energy and the process of installing wind farms. It discusses the growth of wind energy worldwide and its future prospects. Some key points covered include the factors that determine suitable wind turbine sites like wind speed, topography and proximity to buildings. The document outlines the various planning constraints and design considerations for wind farms. It also discusses siting land and the environmental impacts of wind turbines, particularly their effects on bird populations.

4. Energy world-wide
•The consumption of energy by humankind has evolved
over the ages.
•It began with the invention of fire,
man relied on wood burning to cook and to provide light
for millions of years.
•In the long search, man discovered coal.
•Energy consumption world-
wide has continued to rise, it is estimated that in 1900,
the world consumption
was around 22 EJ and by 1960 it rise to 128 EJ
• This reached above 1000 EJ in 2020.

5. Wind Energy
Much attention has been paid recently to Renewable as a
potential source of fuel.
The environmental benefits on global warming makes such
project much more valuable and rewarding.
The growth of renewable energy sources also stimulates
employment, the creation of new technologies and new skills.

7. Wind Energy FUTURE
In 2020,
 More than 1.2 million people will be in green jobs.
 7 million homes will have benefited from whole house makeovers.
more than 1.5 million households will be supported
to produce their own clean energy.
 Around 40 % of electricity will be from low carbon sources,
from Renewable, nuclear and clean coal.
 The average new car will emit 40 percent less carbon than now.

8. Siting of Wind turbines
The amount of Wind Energy available at any location depends on
this factors,
A) Climatic factors including:
Time of day, Season, Geographic location, Topography,
and Local weather.
B) Mechanical factors including:
Diameter of rotor, and Type of Turbine

10. Constraints for Wind Turbines
There is a number of planning related issues that may make it difficult for you to
install turbine on your site and it would be
to ensure that you are not going to fall foul of any of these before proceeding.
Military installations
Avoid these installations, especially if it is an air force base or communication
centers.
Proximity to built-up area
When housing estates are concerned, ideally consider a distance of at least 200m -
300m depending on the size of the turbine.
Designated areas or listed buildings
National Parks or Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty are more difficult to satisfy
the local planning officer to install a wind turbine on it or near it.

This grouping is for the sake of simplification, and it should be noted that
landscape and visual impacts are not directly proportional to wind turbine
numbers.

17. Wind Energy and the Environment
Bird-kill
• This is a very emotionally charged subject. Bird conservationists tend to view wind turbines as death
machines and refer to bloody bird corpses lying at the foot of turbine towers and entire species
migrating from the areas surrounding wind farms.
• Birds occasionally collide with wind turbines, as they do with other tall structures such as buildings.
Also, wind's overall impact on birds is low compared with other human
related sources of avian mortality.
