Uncover the Pros and Cons of Wind Powered Generators

Click HERE To Discover How To Generate FREE Electricity

Electricity is a primary need, we all know that. Every day, we consume electricity even without us knowing it. Today, most of our electric generators and power plants are fed with fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal. However fossil fuel supplies are slowly being depleted and the byproducts of burning these fuels are greenhouse gases.  Now there is a necessity for cleaner, alternative energy sources. One such energy sources is Wind Powered Generators.

A wind powered generator is basically a motor that utilizes the wind to create the mechanical force to a power an electric generator.   There are however, advantages and disadvantages with wind powered generators. Here's are some of them.

Advantages of Wind Powered Generators

• The main advantage of wind powered generators is that they create zero gas emissions
• As there is no burning process, thus no toxic gases, wind powered generators are very safe to build in residential areas
• Wind powered generators can provide a high rate of wattage, within the Megawatt range.
• Several small turbines can be installed and connected together, saving on land space and the need to build huge structures

Disadvantages of Wind Powered Generators

• The major disadvantage is that the wind varies greatly from one place to place, from day to day and also season to season.  Some days there is enough wind to create energy, but on others there is not enough wind due to the changes in weather patterns. A constant, strong wind is need to power wind generators effectively and efficiently. This is why most wind powered generators are built in coastal areas.
• The structure of most wind powered generators needed to capture the wind energy, is generally huge and bulky. Its size is directly proportional to the amount of wind power it needs to collect. So to power a major city many, huge structures will need to be built to capture the wind energy.

Research in wind power has now intensified because of its innate advantages over other fossil fuel power generators. With this increase in interest in wind energy and alternative energy sources as a whole, our future will become brighter and more and more remote areas will eventually enjoy the benefits of clean electric energy.

Biology & Science Questions : Advantages & Disadvantages of Wind Power

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using solar power to generate electricity?

and hydroelectric, geothermal and wind turbines..
lol @ went to school

Solar power, hydroelectric, geothermal, and wind energy are very clean and and equally important renewable source of energy.

The advantages are the green factor and renewable sources. Also I believe that a shift toward these types of energy sources Solar in particular will lead to power systems becoming more distributed. I won't go so far as to say that that is an actual advantage but many would . It has a whole set of problems and rewards in of its self.

The disadvantage would be unreliability. This will change much as newer methods are adopted as standard power production methods.

while some would say they are an eye sore I would say no more than any other type energy plant.

At present oil/coal/wood is easy to get at, abundant, and the world is driven by it. There will be a slow shift towards other types of power as they become cheaper and more reliable. You can bet when there are other cheaper forms of energy that are as reliable as current systems they will usurp current power production methods.

Wind Power: The Material Requirements $116.3 The purpose of this thesis was to study what are the material requirements for wind power units. It was also studied how external influences, such as weather conditions, alter these requirements. In addition to ordinary weather conditions, it was studied what kind of particles and other impurities are in the air, and how these might affect a wind power unit. The main focus of this thesis was to study the different materials used in the construction of wind power units and the requirements each main section (tower, nacelle and blades) have for the materials used. It was also studied how these requirements changed when the unit was constructed in or near a body of water. In addition to the above, the materials commonly used at the time to writing were studied in this thesis. A small part of this thesis is given to the study of next generation materials. The material for this study was searched from libraries and from databases in the internet. The study revealed that the use of old materials, such as steel, is very common. Also, different kinds of composite materials are commonly used.

Developing Wind Power in South Africa $108.33 The South African electricity industry is easily the largest in Africa, yet it has been unable to meet the countrys energy demands despite its masselectrification programme. Power cuts since late 2007 have become standard practice, while close to a third of the countrys households are not connected to the grid. South Africa also faces environmental problems, particularly in the form of water shortages, and is in the top quartile for most carbon dioxide equivalent gases released by a country. This report evaluates wind power as a sustainable solution to increasing South Africas electricity generating capacity. To identify the countrys wind energy potential, the resource conditions are examined, followed by an analysis of the electricity industry and incentives that aim to promote the adoption of renewable energy. The findings indicate that the country has abundant locations with favourable wind conditions. It is also apparent that new sustainable generation capacity is required and that the recently introduced governmental incentives render certain renewable energy technologies economically feasible.
