A
major plus to wind energy, is that the energy itself is free. However, it is
important that when established,it is in an area with plenty of wind and
resources to create the power. So that a long-term project can supply energy
for a sustained lifetime. Wind energy can power entire neighborhoods and
businesses with a turbine grid set up. It is able to supply power to large
areas, as well as smaller vehicles and buildings. Versatility of wind energy is
what makes it such an important resource. Depending on the power demand, large
and small-scale turbines are available. However, this creates the versatility
to choose how much power is going back into the grid to supply the energy.
When
the wind powered
street lights are in the first stage of erection, there is no way of
knowing what the output power will be. Wind speed studies are normally
implemented and this data is given a long- term projection. As the wind speed
increases, there is an increase in the energy production. So, with wind energy
increasing from 6 m/s to 10 m/s can mean that at 6 m/s the energy production
was 67 percent, but a small increase to 10 m/s means there is an increase to
134 percent. This is a huge amount of energy being produced and added to the
power grid. These variations in wind speed are important to know, to account
for the anticipated wind energy production. So knowing the area is very
important.
Wind
energy is also important, since on a smaller scale, farms and small plants can
use this power, saving the farmer money, as well as allowing them to supply
their own energy to the area. Though the wind speed will vary at these
locations too, the energy created can also be used to power smaller vehicles,
allowing the company to become more self-sufficient and power their own
vehicles and machines on the farm. While, again on a larger scale it can
produce enough power to run entire neighborhoods and businesses. This extra
power is enough to sustain these areas, releasing the stress off of a typical
power plant.
Wind
energy is important since it is a renewable resource that can forever be used,
as long as there is wind. There is no end to it and this is a very clean form
of energy to use. There are no harmful emissions or pollutants that enter the
atmosphere from using them. Instead they are completely clean and natural. Wind
energy has a very small impact on the environment and it is only through the wind turbine
that are built to create the energy. Once these are in place, there is very
little more to do and the wind energy should very little, if any negative
impact on the environment.
