- Wind Turbine Physics: Factors Affecting Performance
By: Niraj Patel | - The efficiency of wind turbines depends on various factors such as location, geographical factors, mechanics, rotor shape/ size, etc. Output can be regulated by a constant or variable rotational speed, as well as adjustable and non-adjustable blades.
Power in the Wind
The importance of accurate wind speed data becomes clear when one understands how the speed affects the power. Consider a disk of area A with an air mass dm flowing through that area. In a time dt ...

- How Many Turbines Do You Need For A 100 Mw Wind Farm?
By: Joaquin Altenber | - Today, wind farms of various scales are cropping up all over the world. The growth of this industry is fueled by the designers and engineers who are developing newer turbines with more efficient designs, larger capacity and higher productivity. The number of turbines used on a wind farm depends on the proposed scale of production. Once it is decided how many megawatts of energy can and is to be produced at the wind farm, it is possible to know how many wind turbines are needed.

- What Are The Visual Impacts Of Wind Farms?
By: Joaquin Altenber | - Wind turbines used for large scale wind farms are grand and large scale structures. The towers run from around 50 meters to 90 meters high and the blades have roughly the same diameter. Therefore, their total size from the tower base to the tip of the rotors could add up to several hundred feet. Newer and larger rotors are being developed which are basically used for utility size wind farms. Turbines for private households, small scale businesses, or private farming are much smaller in size, run ...

- How Much Noise Is Generated By Wind Farms?
By: Bhawesh Sachar | - Countries around the world are turning towards more environmentally friendly means of power generation. Wind power may just be the answer to a lot of problems we face today. Since it emits no greenhouse gases and does not adversely affect the environment, it is aggressively being developed and put to use. Also, since wind turbines do not depend on fuel for operation, variations in fuel and oil supplies and prices do not have any impact on the system. Wind farms, however, are definitely not subtl ...

- How Much Wind Power Can Be Generated From A Section Of Land?
By: Joaquin Altenber | - A wind turbine uses its rotor blades to generate power by converting the winds natural kinetic energy to a usable form i.e. mainly electrical energy and at times mechanical energy. A large group of turbines set up at a given location constitute a wind farm. These wind farms are aimed to produce energy in a way that is environmentally friendly and economically viable. Major utilities, as well as, individual owned energy suppliers, home owners, farmers, and ranch owners are now taking advantage ...

- How Many Homes Does A Wind Farm Power?
By: Niraj Patel | - The ability to produce electricity is measured in watts. The output of a wind turbine is directly dependent on the turbine's size and the wind's speed via the rotor. Ranging from 250 watts to 5 megawatts (MW), wind turbines are now being manufactured with various power ratings.
Wind speed is the most important element in analyzing the turbines output. Primarily, a site's wind speed is measured together with other factors as part of a wind resource assessment before the constructi ...

- The Unique Role Of Wind Turbine Step-up (wtsu) Transformers
By: MikeD | -
Introduction:
Harnessing wind energy to perform work is not a new concept.
Since the earliest of times, wind power has been captured with sails to allow traders,merchants and explorers to ply their trades and discover the world around them.
On land, windmills have been used for irrigation, grinding grains, and performing crude manufacturing for centuries. Even the generation of electricity from wind power is not a new idea. What is new, however, is the scal ...

- Grounding Transformers
By: MikeD | - Grounding is clearly one of the most important aspects of electrical design, but it steadfastly continues to be misinterpreted and misunderstood. Millions of dollars in liability and loss can be attributed to ground-fault arcing; thus, grounding-related issues should top the checklists of any electrical contractor.
Grounding Transformers:
Simply put, a grounding transformer is used to provide a ground path to either an ungrounded "Y" or a delta connected system. Grounding transforme ...

- George Washington - His Origins, And His Canal
By: Derek Dashwood | - George Washington was born in 1732, in Virginia, into a family of wealth. His early years were pleasant; he learned to ride horses, and helped around the plantations. He pioneered many up-to-date innovations on his property; therefore the farm became a model for others. Washington Sr. owned half a dozen plantations, and George kept busy working between them. His father was an American antiques' original, who had come from Northumberland, England. Ironically, the capital, which was was originall ...

- Working With The Power Of Wind
By: James Copper | - Wind power is growing in popularity as an alternative to fossil fuel and one of the best of the renewable energy sources. The use of wind power requires wind turbines. Wind turbine generators do little to harm the environment and are far preferable in this regard to fossil fuel. The only disadvantage is that they cannot be used everywhere. In order to effectively use turbines to generate natural power you would need an average wind speed of at least 13 miles per hour. Obviously, that is not foun ...
