EOLIC ENERGY

1. How It Is Obtained and Its Characteristics

• It is obtained from the wind's kinetic energy.
• The sun heats the Earth's air unevenly. The temperature differences in different locations cause air masses to move.

Characteristics of Wind:

• Speed: Higher wind speed results in greater power generation.
• Permanent Wind Zones: Areas with consistent wind patterns are ideal for wind energy production.
• Elevation: Wind speeds are typically higher at higher elevations.
• Power Density: Measured in watts per square meter (W/m²).

2. Parts of a Wind Power Plant

• Propeller (Blades):
  • Number of blades varies depending on the motor (typically one to six).
  • Made from lightweight materials like carbon fiber.
  • Spin the shaft, which drives the generator.
  • Types: Horizontal-
