WIND POWER (RENEWABLE ENERGY) IN PAKISTAN By The wind of change is blown and world has now emphasizing towards new technologies out of which renewable energy is important one. Keeping in view the commercial and industrial consumption of oil and gas everyone is conscious to have some alternate resource for energy production. Wind is also one of the resources for the power generation. A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind‚ also called wind energy‚ into mechanical

power and wind power. A highly controversial source of environmentally-friendly energy is wind power. Wind power is often criticized because turbines are often assumed to be noisy‚ unsightly‚ expensive‚ a waste of space and a hazard for birds‚ but many of these beliefs are either untrue or have no evidence to support them. This paper will outline common arguments against wind power‚ prove them to be false‚ and show why wind power should be implemented as a major energy source worldwide. Wind power

Background/History on the Wind Power Industry The wind power industry first developed in Iran around 200 B.C. The first windmills were vertical axis wind turbines‚ which were used for pumping water and grinding whole grains for food consumption. The Chinese‚ Romans and Afghans all used windmills around this time for similar use. In the 13th century Holland started developing large horizontal axis windmills. These four-blade windmills were larger‚ carried more torque and wind speed and could do more

Offshore Wind Turbine Blade Coating Deterioration Maintenance Model Jesse A Andrawus and Laurie Mackay School of Engineering‚ Robert Gordon University‚ Schoolhill‚ Aberdeen‚ AB10 1FR‚ UK Abstract Maintenance of offshore wind turbine blades has significant impact on the overall cost of managing offshore wind farms. Effective maintenance of protective coatings of wind turbine blades is one of the key challenges of offshore wind farms given that the current condition monitoring systems for

"The Wind" I am the Wind I creep and crawl through every swamp and valley Touching every leaf and holding every branch Surrounding every rock and cooling every stream Playing with the leaves that dance on my shoulders I am the Wind. I cradle nature’s breath in my arms Rocking it back and forth Singing to it my sweet lullaby Kissing its tender face with my gentle breeze I am the Wind. I instruct the tall grass to bow before me Ruling over the leaves and governing the

In the article Wind Energy puffery written by H. Sterling Burnett ‚ one of the leaders of the National Center for Policy Analysis ‚ Burnett discusses wind energy is not easy to exploit or benefit as environmentalists say . Build it expensive and do not provide a reason good enough to be used . Burnett believes that the benefits are often exaggerated ‚ and its adverse effects are ignored .Burnett agreed with wind energy is not good. Burnett tells us that " wind farms‚ wind generator when only a certain

Wind energy is one of the centerpieces when looking at ways to harness renewable energy. Stabilizing climate is a growing concern‚ many are now looking at renewable energy to fix it. Wind energy is one of the centerpieces when looking at ways to harness renewable energy. Thus being said‚ wind energy is so dominating because it is abundant‚ low in cost‚ widely distributed‚ and can be developed quickly. Living in Florida‚ we are one of the top users in electricity‚ due to hot summers‚ keeping plants
