➢ Wind is air in motion.
➢ Is the result of the conversion of the
potential energy of the atmosphere into
kinetic energy due to pressure differential.
➢ Most prominent feature of climatology in
INDIA is the monsoon circulation.
 INTRODUCTION

• Wind or air in motion contains the “kinetic energy” ,which

is converted into mechanical power by means of a wind
turbine.
• wind strikes in wind turbine blade as shown the fig-1.
• The wind turbine is connected to a generator
for producing electricity.
• The potential for wind energy is immense , and
experts suggest wind power can supply up to
20% of world electricity.
 All renewable energy (except tidal and geothermal power),
ultimately comes from the sun

 The earth receives 1.74 x 1017 watts of power (per hour)

from the sun

 About one or 2 percent of this energy is converted to wind

energy (which is about 50-100 times more than the
energy converted to biomass by all plants on earth

 Differential heating of the earth’s surface

and atmosphere induces vertical and
horizontal air currents that are affected by the
earth’s rotation and contours of the
land → WIND.
~ e.g.: Land Sea Breeze Cycle
1.The Cheapest source of electrical energy
2. Wind Turbine Technology is available which is
technically feasible.
3. No marketing risks, as the product is Electrical
energy.
4. Wind Energy is considered as an important input for
the economic development of any country.
5. This led to a search for environmental friendly
renewable Energy sources.
6. Wind mill can be constructed near the load centre.
7. Wind mill can be immediately erected with in one
month.
8. Can supply up to 20% of electricity demand.
P/m^2 = 6.1 x 10^-4 v^3

*The power in wind is

proportional to the cubic wind
speed ( v^3 ).
ENERGY(KW)
WHY?
~ Kinetic energy of an air mass
is proportional to v^2
~ Amount of air mass moving
past a given point is proportional
to wind velocity (v)

VELOCITY
• Winds are influenced by the ground surface at altitudes up to
100 meters.
• Wind is slowed by the surface roughness and obstacles.
• When dealing with wind energy, we are concerned with
surface winds.
• A wind turbine obtains its power input by converting the
force of the wind into a torque (turning force) acting on the
rotor blades.
• The amount of energy which the wind transfers to the rotor
depends on the density of the air, the rotor area, and the wind
speed.
• The kinetic energy of a moving body is proportional to its
mass (or weight). The kinetic energy in the wind thus depends
on the density of the air, i.e. its mass per unit of volume.
In other words, the "heavier" the air, the more energy is
received by the turbine.

•at 15° Celsius air weighs about 1.225 kg per cubic meter, but
the density decreases slightly with increasing humidity.
Advantages of Wind Energy
• The wind blows day and night, which allows windmills to produce
electricity throughout the day. (Faster during the day)
• Energy output from a wind turbine will vary as the wind varies, although
the most rapid variations will to some extent be compensated for by the
inertia of the wind turbine rotor.
•Wind turbines take up less space than the average power station.
Windmills only have to occupy a few square meters for the base, this
allows the land around the turbine to be used for many purposes, for
example agriculture.
• The decreasing cost of wind power and the growing interest in
renewable energy sources should ensure that wind power will become a
viable energy source in the United States and worldwide.
•Wind turbines are a great resource to generate energy in remote locations,
such as mountain communities and remote countryside. Wind turbines can
be a range of different sizes in order to support varying population levels.
 The main disadvantage regarding wind power is down to the
winds unreliability factor. In many areas, the winds strength is
too low to support a wind turbine or wind farm, and this is
where the use of solar power or geothermal power could be
great alternatives.
 Wind turbines generally produce allot less electricity than the
average fossil fuelled power station, requiring multiple wind
turbines to be built in order to make an impact.
 Wind turbine construction can be very expensive and costly to
surrounding wildlife during the build process.
 The noise pollution from commercial wind turbines is sometimes
similar to a small jet engine.
 This is fine if you live miles away, where you will hardly notice
the noise, but what if you live within a few hundred meters of a
turbine? This is a major disadvantage.
 Protests and/or petitions usually confront any proposed wind
farm development. People feel the countryside should be left in
tact for everyone to enjoy it's beauty.

 Wind source.
 Capital cost.
 Wind energy market.
 Technology
➢ Mechanical Noise - gear box, generator
➢ Aerodynamic Noise - Swishing sound
➢ Wind farm at 350 m away
➢ noise level - dB(A) 35-45
➢ Electromagnetic interference
➢ Visual impact
➢ Shadow flicker
➢ Ecology, Loss of Bird Life
Wind power is emerging as an environment
friendly alternative to meet the ever
increasing world demand for electricity, at an
affordable price.
That’s why the concept of wind energy is
increasing in this modern era. More of the
developed and developing countries have
started establishing large wing energy plants.
