Wind Energy
Wind energy is produced when the earth’s surface is heated unevenly by the sun. It can be used to generate electricity. Wind Energy Harvesting can help us create more resilient societies, and it will eventually help us to get serious about combating climate change. As renewable energy grows, wind energy will become the backbone of energy systems in many parts of the world. Analysis from IRENA shows that every dollar spent on Sustainable Energy
Transformation will deliver a payoff between $3-7.
Wind Turbines
Wind turbines, are mounted on a tower to capture the wind energy. At 100 feet (30 meters) or more aboveground, it can take advantage of the faster and less turbulent wind. Turbines catch the wind’s energy with their propeller-like blades. Two or three blades are mounted on a shaft to form a rotor.
When the wind blows, a pocket of low-pressure air forms on the downwind side of the blade. The low-pressure air pocket then pulls the blade toward it, causing the rotor to turn. This is called lift.
The force of the lift is actually much stronger than the wind’s force against the front side of the blade, which is called drag.
The combination of lift and drag causes the rotor to spin like a propeller, and the turning shaft spins a generator to make electricity.
