    Wind Energy: Guided by

    Uploaded by

    Dev Kumar
    This seminar report summarizes information about wind energy. It discusses the history of wind power usage dating back 5,500 years, describes how wind farms operate and the top countries currently implementing wind power. Offshore wind power is noted to have better wind speeds and higher electricity contributions. The report also outlines factors that influence electricity generation from wind, the economics of wind power compared to traditional sources, environmental impacts, and opportunities for ongoing research and development to optimize the technology.

    INTRODUCTION
    Wind energy is energy collected from motion
    caused by heavy winds.

    It is collected in turbines when the wind blows .

    It is a clean.

    It is  renewable energy  source that is abundant in windy


    areas.

    HISTORY
    Wind power being used since 5,500 years ago.

    In 1887, Charles. F. Brush lighted his home home first by

    wind power machine.


    In 1890’s small wind turbines were built by scientist and

    inventor Paul La Core for electricity generation.


    In 1979, modern wind power industry began.

    Since then their sixe has increased from 20 KW to present day

    7 MW .
    WIND ENERGY
    The earth’s differential heating drives a global 
    atmospheric convection system .

    Most of the energy stored in these wind movements


    can be found at high altitudes .  

     Different locations will have different wind speed


    distributions.

    W I N D FA R M S
    A wind farm is a group of wind turbines in the same
    location used for production of electric power.
     A large wind farm may consist of several hundred
    individual wind turbines
    The land between the turbines may be used for
    agricultural or other purposes.
    Many of the largest operational onshore wind farms
    are located in the US. 
    •  The Roscoe Wind Farm is the largest onshore wind
    farm in the world at 781.5 MW
    WIND ENERGY USAGE
    Worldwide there are now many thousands of wind
    turbines operating, with a total capacity of
    194,400 MW.

    World wind generation capacity more than quadrupled


    between 2000 and 2006.

    Wind power industry affected by global financial


    crisis .
    TOP 10 COUNTRIES BY WINDPOWER
    CAPACITY (2010)
    COUNTRY WIND POWER CAPACITY (MW)

    CHINA 44,733
    UNITED STATES 40,180
    GERMANY 27,215
    SPAIN 20,676
    INDIA 13,066
    ITALY 5,797
    FRANCE 5,660
    UNITED KINGDOM 5,204
    CANADA 4,008
    DENMARK 3,734
    OFFSHORE WIND POWER
    Refers to wind farms in bodies of water.

    Better wind speed is available.

    Contribution to electricity supplied is higher.

    Only drawback is the high installation cost.


    ELECTRICITY GENERATION FACTORS
    Each turbine is inteconnected to medium
    voltage(34.5KV) power collection system .
    Grid management to be carried using more improved
    machines apart from induction generators.
    Present capacity factor is usually between 20-35% .
    Very few grid system is found to have penetration of
    more than 5% .
    Electricity generation also depends on variability of
    seasons or throughout the day.
    ECONOMICS
    Negligible fuel cost
    High installation capacity cost
    Estimated energy cost at 40p per KW-h consumed is
    comparatively lesser than traditional sorces.
    ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
    Environmental impact is minor.

    It consumes no fuel , so no air pollution.

     Agriculture is posssible at wind farms.

    Bird and bat mortalities are high at some specific locations.

    There is anecdotal report of noise pollution which review

    board has denied .


    RESEARCH AND
    DEVELOPMENT
    Despite growing demands , technology is not

    optimized .
    This sector needs a drastic transformation according to

    international reseach bodies.


    Needs new ways to engage the public in appreciating

    the technology.
    Development possible only if people accepts.
    CONCLUSION
    Government should play a major role in extracting

    wind energy.
    People’s awakement required.

    Debates on development to be carried out openly.

    Public need to accept this form of energy source.

     UNO should encourage its development to

    member countries.
