The Power of Wind

1. PowerPoint by:Abdou Atoui Dalia Marakby Hassaam Shoaib Rimaz Malik The Power of Wind

2. What is wind energy? • energy that is harnessed by wind turbines. • converted at the wind farm. • a cleaner form of energy than fossil fueled energy.

3. How is it processed? • natural wind blows, turbine spins, rotor turns. • The rotor turns a shaft, uses magnetic field to convert wind energy. • Once converted, travels to the transformer and gets powered into electricity, then ready to use. • http://www.bp.com/iframe.do?categoryId=9025015&contentId=7047453

5. Advantages of wind energy • It is eco-friendly. • Less space for one wind farm. • The wind is free, therefore making it a lower price. • It is clean electricity

6. Disadvantages of wind energy • It gives less energy. • Too much noise pollution. • It generates slower energy. • To get enough energy, you have to live on the coast which is expensive. • Wind itself is undependable. • It only runs for 18 hours a day

8. Facts • 300 kilowatt wind turbines can power 3000 100 watt light bulbs. • California creates 11% of wind global electricity wise. • One small wind turbine can power one school or home. • Wind energy use is increasing by 30% globally.

11. More facts • Denmark, Germany, and California are the main suppliers of wind power. • Wind energy is a form of solar energy. • Wind energy produces 20% of energy. • Wind energy saves you electricity bills.
