Importance of Wind Energy
Some points on Importance of wind energy are:
- Wind energy is important because it is used to generate electricity from moving air and supply electrical power to the grid.
- Wind energy converts the kinetic energy of moving air into mechanical rotation using wind turbine blades.
- The rotating turbine shaft drives an electrical generator that produces alternating current electricity.
- Wind energy systems regulate generator speed to maintain electrical output within standard voltage and frequency ranges.
- Electricity generation occurs continuously as long as wind speed remains within the operational range of the turbine.
- Wind energy supplies generated electricity to the grid through transformers that adjust voltage levels for transmission.
- Grid-connected wind turbines synchronize their electrical output with grid frequency before power injection.
- Electricity from wind farms enters transmission or distribution networks through substations.
- Power supplied from wind energy sources is distributed across the grid alongside electricity from other generation sources.
