“The Efficiency of Creating

Wind Turbine as a Primary

Energy Sources”
I. INTRODUCTION:
By sense of time, people commence to create innovative products, equipment and the
other ample inventions that marks as convenience for the people to do a work. They'd
converse about their plan to design, and produce such an output by making sure to look at
the holistic picture of benefits. Along with these, cluster of inventors make use of their talents
and skills producing an eco-friendly outwork. Many of it has contributed to the world of
science and technology nowadays. Consequently, since the world is evolving, most of the
technological innovation paves the way for the global development. In a way it aims to bring
about environmental sustainability and ability to use the renewable energy to people. At
which point it improves the quality of our daily life that protects our ecosystem. As well as to
preserve the natural resources for our future use. In specific manner, this pertains and leads
to the invention of the " Wind Turbine”.

Stated by Badurek (2015), a wind turbine is a device converts the kinetic energy of
wind into electricity. With that, when the electricity is generated it will work for it’s
connected to the electrical grid, or stored for the future need. Moreover, wind turbines come
in a variety of sizes, including small-scale models for powering provincial places and closed
community for powering a small village. Huge turbines, on the other side, were gathered into
wind farms in isolated locations on an industrial scale. He further clarified that a windmill
converts wind energy into power for milling or pumping, as opposed to a wind turbine. The
wind turbine, on the other hand, is primarily a traditional renewable energy source. Wind
turbines convert wind energy directly to electricity, whereas windmills convert mechanical
energy.

On top of that, the help of primary energy sources such as the wind turbine that is
harvested directly from natural resources provides an easier way of producing electricity.
Hence, electricity that is generated from electrical grid needs to use immediately because it
consists of thousands of second after it’s produced that’s difficult to store electricity. In
conformity with Campbell et al. (2020) it needs to be carefully monitor in order to make sure
that enough electricity is produced to meet the immediate demand. All things considered to
provide a multitude of help that can ensure the needs of people regarding to electricity. In
that fact, it simply ignites most researchers to run a thorough explanation of what can a
“Wind Turbine" will offer significant value to us. From its wide scale innovation to the
forthcoming improvement, thereon.

II. Product (or equipment or invention)

The very first wind turbine was constructed in Scotland, United Kingdom. Professor
James Blyth of Anderson's College in Glasgow (now Strathclyde University) designed the
structure, which is 10 meters tall and was first put in the grounds of Blyth's vacation house.
He utilized the turbine to charge accumulators devised by chemical engineer Camille
Alphonse Faure, which he used to power the lighting in his vacation home. As a result, his
cottage was the first in history to employ wind energy to generate electricity.

According to Shahan (2014), Blyth offered the surplus electricity to the residents of
Mary irk for the purpose of lighting the main street, but they turned it down since they
believed the electricity was the product of the devil. Professor James Blyth, however, made a
seminal discovery in 1887. The wind turbine, invented by Charles Brush as an Ohio inventor
in the United States, then produces electricity for his mansion a year later. Since then, we've
been constructing both onshore and offshore wind turbines. People will benefit from a
primary energy source that is significantly safer and more environmentally beneficial. Poul
la Cour founds the Society of Wind Electricians in 1903. Wind turbines with fewer blades that
spin quickly are more effective than turbines with many blades that gyrate slowly, according
to the original individual who came up with the idea.
III. Process

How it is made:

The tower, nacelle, and rotor blades are the three basic parts of a wind turbine. The
tower is either a steel lattice tower or a steel tube tower with an internal stairway to a nacelle,
similar to electrical towers.

Putman (1941) pondered whether the United States had produced the first large-
scale wind turbine. He was then reminded that installing the tower is the first phase in the
construction of a wind turbine. Even if the steel sections of the tower are manufactured off-
site, they are normally formed on-site. The pieces of the tower were bolted together first,
maintaining it horizontal until it was placed. As the crane raises the tower into place, all bolts
are tightened and the tower's stability is checked. The fiberglass nacelle was then installed
after that. Internal pieces such as the primary drive shaft, gearbox, blade pitch, and yaw
controls are next to assemble and place on a base frame at a factory. The equipment nacelle
is then bolted around the perimeter. The nacelle is lifted and bolted into place beneath the
completed tower on site.

How it is work:

Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy are both indicators (n.d.) Wind turbines
operate on a straightforward premise. Wind turbines, on the other hand, use the wind to
generate power rather than using electricity to create wind in a fan. Wind propels a turbine's
propeller-like blades around a rotor, spinning a generator and generating power.
Furthermore, wind turbines convert wind energy into electricity by using aerodynamic force
from the rotor blades, similar to the action of an airplane wing or helicopter rotor blade. As
the wind passes over the blade, the air pressure on one side of the blade drops. Lift and drag
are created by the differential in air pressure on both sides of the blade. The lift appears to
be far more than the drag that causes the rotor to spin. The latter links to the generator either
directly (if it's a direct drive turbine) or through a shaft and a set of gears or a gearbox that
speeds up the rotation, allowing for a smaller physical generator. In which the conversion of
aerodynamic force into generator rotation results in the generation of useful electricity.

IV. Application to the Community

Generating wind turbines are not only helping the people within the community to
provide its need through adequate electricity but also it can save our mother nature and can
contribute to sustainable development as well. That is to say, wind turbine comes from
primary/natural sources that has a lot of beneficial value. According to Pierce and Wood
(2014), wind turbines present an opportunity to gather energy in locations where a large
number of people requires it. This includes offshore wind's capacity to offer power to
densely populated places near coastlines, as well as land-based wind's ability to carry
electricity to rural areas with few low-carbon power sources. Wind turbines may also
reduce the quantity of power generated from fossil fuels, resulting in less air pollution
and carbon dioxide emissions. Wind turbines, in particular, do not emit pollutants into the
air or water (with infrequent exceptions), and they do not require water for cooling.
Furthermore, according to the EIA(n.d.), wind turbines can be built on existing farms or
ranches. This has a significant impact on and boosts the economy in isolated places, which
are ideal locations for wind farms. Above all else, the Application of Science Chemistry
where also introduced to the creation of Wind turbine. As what Eurochlor (2017) said, the
most crucial aspects of wind turbine technology, are the blades that transform wind into
energy, that’s relies on chlorine chemistry. It's made up of layers of polyester, which is a
chlorine-based chemical. The blades are also light and flexible, but being sturdy enough to
endure heavy gusts - particularly in offshore wind farms, where winds are harsher than on
land. As articulated by Fahad Khan(n.d.) polyester material blades, allow the wind turbine to
withstand the harshest winds. The lightness of the blade is important because if the blades
are too heavy, it will require more wind to spin the turbine, which will make generating
electricity more difficult. As a result, the overall efficiency of wind turbines is reduced.
Polyester is an excellent material for wind turbines since it is both lightweight and efficient.
Blade producers typically used epichlorohydrin (EPI), an exceedingly versatile chemical
derived from chlorine, to bind the layers of polyester together. Subsequently, this chemical
used worldwide associated in different aspects.
