Renewable resources part 2 By: Felix Santoyo Period 4
What type of energy? • The type of energy that I’m going to use is Wind Energy. • I decided to do Wind Energy because I already did Solar and Nuclear Energy. • I also decided to do this subject because I think it is interesting to learn about Wind Energy. • It’s also more reliable and doesn’t occupy a lot of territory in lands. • Wind Energy doesn’t produce Greenhouse Emissions at all.
Building Materials • The materials that I will be using are a wind turbines to produce the electricity. A Wind Turbine a device that converts the wind into kinetic energy and makes it into mechanical energy and produces the electricity. • The wind turbines are used commercial production of electric power. Usually the Wind Turbines have three blades and they are pointed into the wind by computer controlled motors. • The wind turbine spin has a speed of 320 kilometers per hour, 200 MPH. All turbines are specially made to avoid damage by wind.
Pros of wind energy • Wind Energy is renewable and it doesn’t pollute at all. Their construction and installation has less environmental impact as well. • It may be used to provide electricity to individual homes, factories, building, etc, with no need of fuel or other materials. • Wind can also generate power to large amount of people, using larger turbines connected to an electrical grid. • Wind energy, when producing electricity it doesn’t consume any non renewable resources like for example coal, oil, and natural gas.
Disadvantages of wind energy • The wind turbines can be damage if there are thunderstorms because of their tallness and thin shape. • Birds that attempt to fly by or next to a wind turbine can get hit or injured severely. • Wind Farms can use a lot of land, and that land can be used for agriculture, but wind farms take a lot of space. • Wind Turbines produce a little bit of power, that’s why there is a lot of wind turbines built in an area. • Wind Turbine construction is very expensive to build.
