Wind Turbines
Wind turbines are manufactured in a wide range of vertical and horizontal axis. The smallest turbines are used for applications such as battery charging for auxiliary power for boats or caravans or to power traffic warning signs. Larger turbines can be used for making contributions to a domestic power supply while selling unused power back to the utility supplier via the electrical grid. Arrays of large turbines, known as wind farms, are becoming an increasingly important source of intermittent renewable energy and are used by many countries as part of a strategy to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels.
Wind Energy, in simple terms is the use of wind to derive mechanical power through the use of turbines, to turn electric generators for electrical power. It is an important source of sustainable, renewable energy source, that has negligible impact on the environment. However, it must be remembered that wind energy, though a cheap form of energy, is an intermittent form of energy. Of late, wind energy is becoming an important form of energy. It constituted about 5.3% of electrical generation in 2019. This was actually a 10 percent increase over 2018 data.
