  1. Alternative Energy:Wind Power By Joon Sang Yoon

  2. Wind Power • - Converting wind energy into a useful form of energy • - Transformation of Kinetic Energy (of wind with velocity) into mechanical or electrical energy that can be harnessed for practical use • - Generates about 2.5% energy worldwide

  3. History • The first recorded windmills that were created are from China in 1219 • During 17th century, hundreds of windmills were created in Europe and America • Up to 19th century, windmills were used to produce mechanical power to do tasks such as pumping water and grinding stones • 1888: the first electricity producing windmills invented • Today wind turbines are considered as one of possible alternative energy (fastest growth rate among alternative energy sources)

  4. Complicated Structures

  5. Basic Principle

  6. Ideal location for wind turbine

  7. Sankey Diagram: Efficiency

  8. Types Windmill Wind Turbine (HAWT, VAWT)

  9. HAWT

  10. VAWT

  11. Advantages • Wind is free • Does not cause green house gases as it produces electricity • Needs small portion of land • Isolated areas that are not connected to the electricity power grid can use wind turbines to produce their own supply • Arranges a lot in a size – can be used for one household to whole city

  12. Disadvantages • The strength of the wind is inconstant – leads to inconstant produce of electricity • Even though it takes only small part of a land, it can block the views and change the landscape • It can be noisy as a car travelling 70miles per hour. • With a 25% capacity factor, a 1.5-MW wind turbine (100m tall) would produce(1.5 MW × 365 days × 24 hours × 25% = 3,285 MWh=) 3,285,000 kWh and it would allow about 330 households to use it. Thus, it will need huge wind power farm to supply a big city or even a nation.

  13. News#1 Increases the employment rate

  14. News#2 Noisy attracts complains

  15. Advancements in future

  16. Conclusion • Kinetic Energy (velocity of wind) converted to electricity through generator • Has advantages but also disadvantages • Has lots of room to advance

  17. Thanks
