WIND ENERGY Long time ago‚ ancient mariners used sails to capture the wind and explore the world. Farmers once used windmills to grind their grains and pump water. Today‚ more and more people are using wind turbines to wring electricity from the breeze. Over the past decade‚ wind turbine use has increased at more than 25 percent a year. Still‚ it only provides a small fraction of the world ’s energy. Therefore‚ wind power or wind energy is the energy extracted from wind using wind turbines to produce electrical

What is wind energy? Wind energy is energy that is created by using the wind to generate power. It is a form of kinetic energy that can be transformed into mechanical energy or electricity. What is solar energy? Solar energy is energy derived from the sun. Used synonymously with solar power‚ it is the ability of the sun to convert sunlight into electricity. What is geothermal energy? Geothermal energy is energy generated from the heat beneath the Earth’s surface. It is a renewable energy because

potential of incorporation of solar power and wind power generation on high rise building in Malaysia. Malaysia being located at the equator having abundance of solar energy all year round is ideal for application of solar power generation but with the low wind speed on the ground‚ wind power generation may not be suitable. However‚ a good building design to enhance the wind flow and utilizing the height of a high rise building might create an opportunity for wind power generation to further boost the

picked up from my work office library. It’s a 13 chapter book explaining many different sectors of the wind turbines‚ but I’m concentrating on the history of wind energy chapter 12. This chapter covers wind turbine pioneers Charles F. Brush and Poul la Cour and what they are famous for. This chapter also covers the development of wind turbines over time and also covers onshore and offshore wind turbines. This chapter is very helpful and contains sufficient information for me to start my research
