Wind is an important source of non-conventional energy which is cheap‚ pollution-free‚ environment friendly and can be developed away from the sources of conventional energy. This energy was utilised in sailing ships and wind mills since ancient days. In India the generation of electric power through wind mills started in 1950 and by March 1993 about 2‚900 wind pump sets has been installed in seven states of the country. At the beginning of the Eighth Plan the installed capacity of wind-based

and bluster‚ prodded by the restless wind. Ski resorts don’t like to talk about wind–or storms in general—because it scares away the tourists‚ who somehow forget that winter is messy‚ cold‚ and wild‚ as if snow were laid down softly each night like a blanket over a sleeping baby. But wind is a fact of life in the mountains‚ as much a part of the weather as snow itself‚ and those who grumble about it or say it does nothing but blow overlook the fact that the wind gives as much as it takes. It can seem

are considering investing in a wind turbine to create electricity for your home‚ you’ll likely spend some time researching how they work and if this investment is worth it. Like other environmentally-friendly options‚ there are many pros and cons of wind energy to weigh against one another. Pros •The creation of wind energy is "clean". Unlike the use of coal or oil‚ generating energy from the wind doesn’t produce pollutants or require any harmful chemicals. •Wind is free. If you live in a geographical

Alternative Sustainable Energy Resources: Water Turbines Jill Dallmann Everglades University‚ Sarasota Abstract Through years of research and studies‚ renewable and sustainable energy resources have proven to help decrease greenhouse gases that are products of the main current world energy sources. With the rising cost and consumption of petroleum to rise in the future‚ the race to finding sustainable energy is heating up because

harnessing the power of wind. Wind propelled boats down water and simple windmills were used to pump water and grind grain. But credit goes to the Dutch who refined windmills so that they could drain swamps and lakes‚ and in the 19th century‚ settlers took this concept with them to the New World. There‚ windmills were used to pump water for farms and ranches‚ and later to generate electricity for homes and industry purposes. Industrialization caused a decrease in the use of wind power‚ but also began

in Europe. These companies compete directly against Vestas in local areas‚ although they lack the premium quality that Vestas is known for. 3. Chinese companies who make cheap turbines. These companies are only active in the regional market and are not direct competitors to Vestas. Planning Horizon Since turbine technology needs considerably long term R&D investments‚ 5 years is an appropriate planning horizon for Vestas‚ since this will be the minimum timeframe required to react to technological

Topic: Wind Energy Specific purpose: To persuade my audience that coal affects our environment and that we should use wind energy instead in our future houses. Central idea: Coal has many negatives effects in our environment and we can help to reduce these effects by implementing wind energy in our houses‚ which can produce the same results in our homes. Pattern of organization: Problem - Solution I. Attention: How many of you can survive for a month without electricity? Without phones‚ laptops

Elizabeth Kolbert goes to Samso to visit Jorgen Tranberg and his wind turbine. The community of Samso used to depend on fossil fuels‚ but now‚ after embracing the power of clean wind energy‚ Samso now produces more energy than it uses. At the rate gas‚ oil‚ coal‚ and

Flying Wind Generators Flying wind generators are the future of wind energy. This article talks about the replacement of wind turbines for “windmills in the sky”. Instead of using the current wind turbines‚ Bryan Roberts‚ and engineer at University of technology in Sydney‚ Australia‚ decided to fly wind turbines into the jet stream 15‚000 to 45‚000 feet into the sky with winds up to 200 miles per hour. With 600 of these producing 20 megawatts each could power two Chicago sized cities. The
