Introduction to solutions Offshore Wind Turbine Deep Sea Sequestering
Explanation of electricity generation w physics --> how wind energy works (Wonwoo)
The ecological ramifications of wind energy • Although wind energy benefits us, it distracts marine animals • vibration- vibration cause water movement, which gives distraction to fish, and its noise can disturb marine mammals’ vocal communication • Electromagnetic field- the field distracts fish that are relying on geomagnetic field when moving • As a result, marine animals migrate to different area or modify their behavior.
Biology Experiment 1-1: Aim: To make improvements in offshore wind farm from disturbing fish and its environment regarding effect of vibration and electromagnetic field. Procedure: • Simulate offshore wind farm • Make a large fish tank • Use electric fan as a wind turbine
Biology Experiment 1-3 • Result: • Control: no materials • Solution 1: planting water plantnear the fan • Solution 2: netting around the fan • Solution 3: covering base of the fan with gravel
Biology Experiment 1-4 Conclusion: • Solution 1 would likely be the best solution for reducing distractions • most fish were staying for two 30 sec and then half staying for a 30 sec • result of S1 is constant compared to other solution
