Wind energy in Germany

Renewable energy – what for? Lack of raw materials Pollution of the environment Nuclear power is dangerous Search for renewable energy recorces is important

Different types of converters 1: Konverter 2: quirlförmig

Model of a wind energy converters nacelle (1) generator swivel (3) 2: Getriebe transmission (2) 3: Drehgelenk blades brake 1: Rumpf

Use of wind energy in Germany wind power stations Last year: 3.4 % of electricity production Expectation for the end of 2003:every 20th kilowatt-hour Top position concerning wind energy use

Example for a wind power station Windkraftanlage Fröttmaning Draw your attention to the TV set, please...
