Unsure of where to set up a wind turbine? This presentation will show you where. Trust me.

1. WIND TURBINE LOCATIONS!

2. Ever started a business…

3. Ever started a business… …that sucked?

4. Don’t blame yourself.

5. No, wait.

6. DO blame yourself.

7. DO blame yourself. Your location probably sucked.

8. If you’re planning to set up a wind turbine,

9. Choose a good

10. LOCATION.

11. Wind energy gained popularity in terms of renewable energy. THROUGHOUT HISTORY

12. It has greatly contributed to the economy and livelihood of the people. THROUGHOUT HISTORY

13. In fact, majority find it as an interesting feature for any landscape. THROUGHOUT HISTORY

14. However, finding the best site for wind turbines is a crucial task for many. THROUGHOUT HISTORY

16. WIND SPEED

17. Since a wind turbine is highly dependent on wind (duh), choose an area that is open to air. WIND SPEED

18. Since a wind turbine is highly dependent on wind (duh), choose an area that is open to air. Ideally, wind speeds should be at least 11 to 13 miles per hour. WIND SPEED

19. ELEVATION

20. An area that is located on higher ground can produce the best results. ELEVATION

21. An area that is located on higher ground can produce the best results. This is because wind speeds are faster on higher elevation. ELEVATION

22. SECURITY

23. Choose a private place where it is not exposed to the public. SECURITY

24. Choose a private place where it is not exposed to the public. This is to ensure that no one get hurts in case an accident happens. SECURITY

25. WILDLIFE

26. Choose a location that is far away from wildlife. WILDLIFE

27. Choose a location that is far away from wildlife. The presence of a wind turbine can have an impact on wildlife and can even kill birds. WILDLIFE

28. AVIATION

29. Avoid a place where aerial activities are commonly sited. AVIATION

30. Avoid a place where aerial activities are commonly sited. It can disrupt or damage the wind turbines. AVIATION

31. THE 3 MOST COMMON WIND TURBINE LOCATIONS IN THE WORLD ARE:

32. THE 3 MOST COMMON WIND TURBINE LOCATIONS IN THE WORLD ARE: MOUNTAINS/HILLS

33. THE 3 MOST COMMON WIND TURBINE LOCATIONS IN THE WORLD ARE: MOUNTAINS/HILLS DESERTS/PLAINS

34. THE 3 MOST COMMON WIND TURBINE LOCATIONS IN THE WORLD ARE: MOUNTAINS/HILLS DESERTS/PLAINS OFFSHORE

35. MOUNTAINS/HILLS

36. MOUNTAINS/HILLS HIGHER ELEVATION = FASTER WIND SPEEDS

37. MOUNTAINS/HILLS FASTER WIND SPEEDS = MORE ENERGY

38. MOUNTAINS/HILLS (exactly why mountains/hills are good wind turbine locations) FASTER WIND SPEEDS = MORE ENERGY

39. DESERTS/PLAINS

40. DESERTS/PLAINS Deserts and plains are two of the best places for gathering renewable energy.

41. DESERTS/PLAINS Not only are wind speeds very fast, sunlight is also very abundant.

42. DESERTS/PLAINS This makes both wind energy and solar energy viable energy sources that can serve as back-ups of each other.

43. DESERTS/PLAINS There are also less obstructions that can hinder the wind, ensuring maximal wind speeds.

44. OFFSHORE

45. OFFSHORE The sea is the best place for setting up wind turbines.

46. OFFSHORE WHY?

47. OFFSHORE First of all, wind speeds along the sea are extremely fast thanks to little or no obstructions to the wind.

48. OFFSHORE Second, it’s far away from land, making sure that no people or wildlife will be affected.

49. OFFSHORE The only disadvantage with setting up offshore wind farms is that they cost a lot more to develop than onshore wind farms.

50. Here are some examples of great places with wind turbines:

51. Pennsylvania The Casselman Wind Power Project is a wind farm that began commercial operation in 2007, located at Somerset County, Pennsylvania with 23 GE 1.5 MW Wind Turbines.

52. Denmark A highly efficient country, 20% of it is taking advantage on wind energy as their source of electricity.

53. India Presently, India generates 5% of its energy from wind power and this goes up every year. It is foreseen that India could go beyond other developing countries in terms of using the alternative energy sources.

54. Philippines These wind turbines are the first of its kind in the country, built along the shores of Bangui, Ilocos Norte . Its geographical feature where sea and land perfectly meet create very fast and strong winds.

55. Germany A total of 21,164 wind turbines with a capacity of 25,777 megawatts were installed in the country all in all by the year end of 2009.
