Research Paper On Wind Energy

Wind Energy Wind energy is the most efficient and cheapest form of electricity today and with one megawatt of energy it can light up two hundred fifty to three hundred households wile also helping the environment stay clean. Wind energy has many advantages as well as disadvantages to it just like everything else in the world. It is very helpful to the environment in most way but could be harmful in others. There are over forty-five thousand wind turbines in the United States which house twenty million homes. I helps many things in the environment. Wind energy started as early as 5,000 B.C. when boats were propelled down the Nile River, China was using windmills to pump
Wind turbines shut down at very high wind speeds over fifty miles per hour. Construction on a wind turbine is usually short. It takes ten megawatt wind farm around two months to build. It takes a fifty megawatt wind farm around six months build. While it does not take long while under construction to build a wind farm, they last a long time. Wind turbines are quick to build and very affordable. The United States spends somewhere around ten million dollars each year on building wind turbines. A unity scales wind turbine can cost up to 1.3 million dollars to 2.2 million dollars. A commercial turbine ranges from three million to four million. Most of the maintenance costs that come with the wind turbines are a fixed amount each year for regular servicing. So as long as you can afford the installation and maintenance you will have basically free electricity for many years to come. Wind power is also the cleanest and safest source of electricity we have today. Wind energy does not use water and it is predicted that by 2030 wind energy will save around thirty
