Introduction to Wind Power Kenneth M. Klemow, Ph.D. Wilkes University

What is wind power? Conversion of wind energy to useful form Mechanical energy Transportation Electricity http://www.makeenergynow.com http://apps.carleton.edu/

Why does wind blow? Uneven heating of earth’s atmosphere Large-scale cells Air pressure differences

Where is wind available?

Modern wind power uses turbines in arrays called windfarms http://inhabitat.com/

Wind turbines are evolving http://electrical-engineering-portal.com/ready-for-wind-power-its-time

Wind turbine nacelle

Connecting to grid

Global windpower capacity

Global wind as of 2009 http://www.mhi-global.com/

Wind installations 2011 http://www.windpowermonthly.com/

Wind installation U.S.

Wind Power in PA Currently have 24 windfarms Future capacity Total capacity – 1335 MW Enough to power 390,000 homes Future capacity 4000 MW Can power 1.17 million homes http://www.pennfuture.org/content.aspx?SectionID=192

Wind costs have declined

Benefits of wind power No emissions of carbon into atmosphere No radioactive waste Sustainable Energy is free – only cost is construction of windfarm and some maintenance

Concerns about wind energy Intermittent source of power Habitat fragmentation Bird and bat mortality Aesthetic concerns Fires Ice throw Wind turbine syndrome http://news.softpedia.com/ https://sites.google.com/site/montvillewind/pictures/birds-wildlife http://irjci.blogspot.com/

Wind turbine designs are evolving http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/energy/solar-wind/4324331

So is wind power the answer to our energy needs? You tell me!
