  1. WIND ENERGY

  2. WIND ENERGY WIND is created by: a. uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun b. irregulaties of the earth surface c. rotation of the earth

  3. HOW IT WORKS • Wind Turbine converts the force of the wind into a torque. • The torque turns the turbine blades, which are connected to the shaft of an electric generator • Electricity produced

  4. ELECTRICITY FROM TURBINE Major components of horizontal and vertical axis wind turbines

  5. COST KW/h

  6. ECONOMIC BENEFITS • GREATER FUEL DIVERSITY & LESS DEPENDENCE ON FOSSIL FUELS • GREATLY REDUCES ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS • MORE JOB OPENINGS • LONG TERM INCOME FOR RANCHERS & FARMERS
