The document discusses wind power, describing how wind turbines use wind energy to generate electricity that can power homes. Specifically, it notes that wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy through rotating blades connected to a generator. While wind power has advantages like being a renewable source and creating jobs, it also has disadvantages such as noise from turbines and pollution involved in manufacturing them. The document provides a high-level overview of how wind power works and some of its pros and cons.
2. WHAT IS IT?
• The wind power is an energy extracted for
wind and is used with turbines.
• This energy is used for generate electrical
wind pumps for water pumping or sails to
propel ships.
• This energy is primary, alternative and
renewable.
3. HOW TO GET ELECTRECITY FOR
THE TURBINES???
• Electricity is extracted though turbines. The
blades are moved by wind and the electricity
created passes though the electricity network
and reaches the houses.
4. ADVANTAGES VS PROBLEMS
• Advantages:
• The wind is free and it can be
captured efficiently.
• Many people find wind park.
A interesting characteristic of
the landscape.
• Wind turbines have a role
to play in both the
developed and third world
• Problems:
• When wind turbines are
being manufactured some
pollution is produced.
Therefore wind power does
produce some pollution.
• Wind turbines are noisy.
• Large wind farms are
needed to provide entire
communities with enough
electricity.
