Question

13. Write a brief note on wind power.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Wind power is the use of air flow through wind turbines to mechanically power generators for electric power. Wind power, as an alternative to burning fossil fuels, is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation, consumes no water, and uses little land

Answer 2

Wind power or Wind energy has been used for hundreds of years for sailing, grinding grain and for irrigation. Energy in wind can be economically used for generation of electrical energy and has great potential as a good source. The energy available in the winds over the earth’s surface is estimated to be 1.6 x 107 MW, which is equivalent to the present energy consumption in the world. Wind is used to run a wind mill, which in turn drives a generator to produce electricity.
