Question

(e) State two advantages of using wind turbines rather than
a coal-fired power station to generate electricity.​

Answer 1

Ans.e: The advantages of wind energy are more apparent than the disadvantages. The main advantages include an unlimited, free, renewable resource (the wind itself), economic value, maintenance cost, and placement of wind harvesting facilities. ... Next, harvesting wind power is a clean, non-polluting way to generate electricity.

Ans.Coal-fired plants produce electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. The steam produced, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity. The steam is then cooled, condensed back into water and returned to the boiler to start the process over.
