Wind Energy

A wind - powered generator converts wind energy into electrical energy . Assume that the generator convents a fixed fraction of the wind energy intercepted by to blades into electrical energy for wind speed V , the electrical power output will be propertional to

(a) What is wind ? What type of energy is possessed by wind ? (b) Explain how, wind energy can be used to generate electricity. Illustrate your answer with the help of a labelled diagram. (c ) State two advantages of using wind energy for generating electricity. (d) Mention two limitations of wind energy for generating electricity.

A wind - powered generator converts wind energy into electric energy. Assume that the energy intercepted by its blades into electrical energy. For wind speed v, the electrical power output will be proportional to,

A wind - powered generator convets and energy into electrical energy . Assume that the generator convents a fixed fraction of the wind energy intercepited by to blades into electrical energy for wind speed V , the electrical power output will be propertional to
