advantages of wind

One advantage of wind energy is that it is available everywhere and in plenty. We will never run out of wind power. It does not create any kind of pollution; like smoke and harmful gases or harmful radiatio..

The wind removes water vapour and thus increases the rate of transpiration. High winds lead to stomatal closure to stop the rapid water loss and hence bring a drop in rate of transpiration. Moderate winds may also reduce transpiration by lowering the temperature of lea..

Trees are planted across the wind direction to protect against the high velocity winds. These rows of trees are called shelter belts or wind breaker..

Wind energy is one of the first sources of energy known to man. The sun's rays are stronger nearer the equator than in the polar region. This heats the air in equatorial region and warm lighter air rises while cooler polar air moves in to replace it. This movement of air results in w..

Moving air is called wind and it possesses Kinetic energy. In the earlier days, it was utilized by man in winnowing to remove husk from grains, in propelling sail boats in rivers and seas for transport purposes. But nowadays this wind energy is used to produce electricit..

The demand for electricity varies at different times of a year. One big disadvantage is that the wind, waves and tides do not occur at all time and hence cannot guarantee steady production of electricity. Hydroelectric power stations can solve this problem. When the demand is low, excess ..

The picture shows a seven storey-high 17m wind turbine producing 60 KW of power from a wind with a velocity of 45 km/h. Wind Turbine Wind turbines are used to produce electricity. The machines that generate electricity are the most conventional type with airf..

Even though wind energy is available in plenty, wind is not available at all times. It is unpredictable and not dependable. Hence to produce maximum amount of energy from wind, wind energy maps are prepared, which give us an idea of the average wind..
