and “wind” happens to be one of those sources. Since “wind” is simply air in motion‚ what then is “wind energy” and how can we generate electricity from it? Well‚ based on my research‚ wind energy is the result of the sun’s energy interacting with the earth’s surfaces. It is also an ideal renewable energy source that is infinitely sustainable; pollution free; doesn’t use fuel; and doesn’t produce greenhouse gases‚ toxic or radioactive waste. This type of energy is considered a green power technology

source. Wind energy doesn’t pollute the air like power plants that rely on combustion of fossil fuels‚ such as coal or natural gas. Wind turbines don’t produce atmospheric emissions that cause acid rain or greenhouse gasses. Wind energy is a domestic source of energy. The nation’s wind supply is abundant: over the past 10 years‚ cumulative wind power capacity in the United States increased an average of 30% per year‚ outpacing the 28% growth rate in worldwide capacity. It’s sustainable. Wind is actually

in the supply of energy resources to an economy. Pakistan’s energy infrastructure is not well developed‚ rather it is considered to be underdeveloped and poorly managed. Rapid demand growth‚ transmission losses due to out-dated infrastructure‚ power theft‚ and seasonal reductions in the availability of hydropower have worsened the situation. Consequently‚ the demand exceeds supply and hence load shedding is a common phenomenon in all cities. Energy crisis in Pakistan started in 2007 and in 2008

nor realize before. Such as tidal power‚ wave power‚ solar power‚ wind power and so on. According to Jamie Frater (2009)‚ “These sources of energy provide an alternate ‘cleaner’ source of energy‚ helping to negate the effects of certain forms of pollution. All of these power generation techniques can be described as renewable since they are not depleting any resources to create the energy.” For instance‚ the wind power‚ people set wind turbines to transform wind energy into electricity or mechanical

Swedish and French light water reactor programs‚ one way to achieve this alternative source of energy is expansion of global nuclear power. The historical evidences show that if the nuclear power is built at only per capita rate of these nations while they are expanding nationally‚ then fossil fuels could be replaced globally in less than a decade. Solar and wind energies have seen unrelenting growth in the past few years. They broke new records in 2015. While the fossil fuels market crash is demanding

and an efficient and in time completion of Iran-Pakistan pipeline and Thar coal project. Pakistan is blessed with natural energy sources like solar and wind. The extreme sunny weather in summers can be exploited to make maximum out of it. The coastal line is an inexhaustible source of wind energy. Another solution is to increase the ratio of power generation by nuclear plants. The parting gap between demand and supply is mounting with every year and it is pushing the economy to the brink.

such as photo‚ past offences‚ address etc. Vestas uses data from global weather systems as well as data from other turbines and location based data including barometric pressure‚ temperature‚ wind speed‚ etc. to increase their wind library which helps them place the turbines in exact locations where the wind power can be harnessed optimally. Other companies like Hertz use big data solutions to analyze customer sentiment. They look for ways to improve their process and make it more efficient by analyzing

Wind Energy A turbine is machine that spins arounds catching energy that’s passing by. The huge rotor blades (propellers) on the front of a wind turbine are the "turbine" part. As wind passes by‚ the kinetic energy (energy of movement) it contains makes the blades spin around (usually quite slowly). The blades have a special curved shape so they capture as much energy from the wind as possible. Although we talk about "wind turbines‚" the turbine is only one of the three main
