Wind Turbine Construction for Large Scale Wind Farms – Complexity Increases With Scale

Throughout the world today, nations are turning to the wind power to meet ever growing energy needs. Large-scale wind turbine construction is continually being developed and implemented to help solve the energy problems that face us. While the basic operation, production and installation of these massive machines might be similar to that of smaller units, there are also some major differences to take into account.

To produce a large quantity of electricity for schools, manufacturing plants or even entire cities, equipment of tremendous proportions must be built. Regardless of where they are located, wind resources must be maximized to make… Continue reading

Going Beyond Wind and Solar Farms

Recent years have seen tremendous focus on renewable energy in the US. Emphasis has been on wind and solar energy and a lot of attention seems to have been concentrated on the desert areas of Southern California. With millions of acres of sandy area, the Mojave and Colorado deserts offer an ideal opportunity for huge wind and solar farms.

Interestingly, the US government too has put its final stamp on a number of projects, many of them are being fast tracked, and California is now poised to become the solar energy capital of the world. But while a lot of… Continue reading

Wind Farms in the united kingdom : chicken farms

The wind farm is an alternative power platform that has existed for ages but the overall public don’t get it. It is especially plentiful in the United Kingdom. Wind Farms in Britain Wind has been employed as an energy source for millenia. Using the power of the wind is comparatively straightforward, while also being ecologically sound and utterly replenish-able. Wind farms are the simplest way to harness big amounts of wind power at a time, and the farms in Britain provide perfect examples. In the UK, wind farms are managed by the English wind energy organisation. The BWEA operates 127… Continue reading

Wind Farms Capable of Altering Local Weather

In a study published recently by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), it was revealed that large wind farms can have a significant effect on near-surface air temperatures. It is believed that the changes are caused by the turbulence created by the rotor blades which, if altered in sized, would limit the impact on the surrounding temperatures.

 

In addition to the proposed rotor blade minimisation, it is also believed that by situating wind farms in areas which are naturally turbulent, the influence of the turbines could be reduced.

 

The discoveries were first recorded some 21… Continue reading
