WIND ENERGY
- What is wind energy?
- Wind power is the ability to make electricity using the air flows
that occur naturally in the earth’s atmosphere. Wind turbine
blades capture kinetic energy from the wind and turn it into
mechanical energy, spinning a generator that creates
electricity.

- characteristics
- -It is indigenous or belongs directly to nature.
- -No harmful emissions.
- -It comes from an inexhaustible source.
- -It is very advanced compared to other renewable energies worldwide;
only it is reached by solar energy.
- -It is indigenous or belongs directly to nature.
- how it works
- instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use
wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine
around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.

- How many types of wind power are there?
- here are many ways to produce wind
energy, but the best known ones are
- Horizontal axis wind turbines A horizontal axis wind turbine is one
that has its axis of rotation parallel to the ground. This type of wind
turbine is the most prevalent and is commonly used in wind farms.
- Vertical Axis Wind Turbine:
- is one whose axis of rotation is
perpendicular to the ground.
- Savonius vertical wind turbine The rotor of this type of wind turbine is
based on the different aerodynamic force exerted by the wind on the
blades or blades in different shape, which in this case is in the form of
semi-spherical or semi-cylindrical pans, so that the action of the wind has
different strength in the concave part and in the convex part.

perpendicular to the ground.

- advantages
- Renewable energy: wind energy originates from
atmospheric processes ultimately due to solar radiation,
making it a renewable natural resource.
- contributes to sustainable development.
- contributes to sustainable development.
- Clean Energy: does not produce atmospheric emissions or polluting waste
- Wind energy is indigenous, that is, it is available almost
all over the planet.

- disadvantages
- Due to the lack of safety in the existence of wind, wind
power cannot be used as the only source of electrical power.
- If the wind speed is higher than the maximum
that the turbine can withstand, it causes shaft
damage and production is decreased,
- Wind farms are usually located in natural areas, having an
environmental and visual impact on them
- Due to the lack of safety in the existence of wind, wind
power cannot be used as the only source of electrical power.
- What should people do to develop a wind farm?
- 1.- Construction of access
- 2.- Construction of assembly platforms
- 3.Construction of adjoining buildings
- 4- Electrical installation
- 5.- Assembly of wind turbines
