Existing methods of harnessing wind energy and conversion.
Pro's of Wind Energy.
Con's of Wind Energy.
Friendship of Wind Energy and our Ecosystem.
Recent Innovations and Advancements.
Conclusion
4. • Wind Energy is a form of renewable
energy that utilizes the power of wind to
generate electricity
• Wind turbines are used to capture the
kinetic energy of the wind and convert it
into electrical power
• Winds are caused by the uneven heating of
the atmosphere by the sun, irregularities of
the earth's surface, and the rotation of the
earth
6. WIND IS ALMOST EVERYWHERE
Wind is present almost everywhere on Earth, we also have precise
information about where it blows most frequently and powerfully.
Since it’s well known where the wind blows strongest, it’s
possible to install wind plants based on our considerable
awareness of the local conditions.
The windier an area, the more energy it can produce, offsetting
the costs of the initial investment.
8. Only 11 to 15% of solar energy is converted into electricity with the help of solar panels. While the efficiency
of wind energy is 43% which is far more than solar (15%), wind energy (43%) & nuclear energy(27%). So
clearly Wind energy is winning in terms of efficiency.

Many nuclear power
plants take 10-15 years
to build, whereas large
wind farms take
roughly 2-3 years.
Wind energy currently
beats solar energy when
it comes to overall share
of electricity generated.
11. working
It consists of a wheel containing number of blades. The
wheel rotates
about an axle mounted on a pole . The wind energy is
used to rotate the
wheel . One end of the axle is connected to the armature
of the generator
which rotates between the two poles of a strong magnet,
another end of
the axle is connected to the shaft of the wind mill. When
wind falls on the wheel of the wind mill, it rotates and
electric current is produced
Thus the kinetic energy of the wind is converted into
electric current
13. 1. Excellent conversion efficiency
2. Wind power occupies very little land
3. The environmental impact is minimal
4. Maintenance is simple and only
occasionally necessary
15. 1. The Wind Fluctuates
2. Wind Turbines Are Expensive
3. Wind Turbines Pose a Threat to Wildlife
4. Wind Turbines Are Noisy
and Create Visual Pollution
20. Wind energy is the fastest growing sector of
energy production. Here are six advances for
the technology.
1. Bigger Blades
2. Taller Towers
3. GE’s Haliade X - Increased Energy
Production
4. Onsite assembly and construction
22. "Wind Power continues to be one of the most promising sources of
renewable energy. The last decade has seen an exponential growth
with wind farms coming up all over the world.
It’s currently the renewable energy source that can best compete
with solar and nuclear power plants—in some regions around the
world, the clean, safe energy it generates is already just as cheap as
coal.
The future of wind energy lies in offshore wind turbines. The
potential for offshore wind turbines is much greater due to the large
open space of oceans unlike land, which with its varied topography
that alters wind flow. Developments of offshore wind turbines are
