WIND ENERGY Present by: Antonia guerrero Curse: 1102 What is it? harvest energy from the wind and converts it into electrical power It is a renewable and inexhaustible energy. It is friendly with the environment. Which are its characteristics ? It is a profitable energy. It can be installed even in remote and isolated areas. Reduce the use of fossil fuels Wind energy is a renewable energy source that is obtained from the kinetic energy of the wind that moves the blades of a wind turbine, which in turn starts a turbine that converts it into electrical energy. How does it work? advantage: Which are its advantages and disadvantages? It is a renewable and clean energy. Wind energy is indigenous. It is adaptable to almost any space. It has a quick installation. It allows the self-feeding of homes. It is considered cheap energy Disadvantages Which are its advantages and disadvantages ? Lack of security in the existence of wind. Speed cannot exceed a limit. High voltage lines must be built. It implies an environmental impact. Wind farms occupy large areas How is its transformation process? To obtain electrical energy from wind, so-called wind turbines are used, each of these wind turbines has a rotor and three aerodynamically designed blades, which capture the energy of the wind and transform it into rotational mechanical energy. from the wind energy it is transmitted through a shaft and several multiplier stages to a generator, whose function is the production of electrical energy
