write short note on wind energy
Answers
Wind energy is an unconventional and renewable source of energy.
As the name suggests, this energy is generated through the wind flowing in the atmosphere.
The places where the wind flow is continuous and fast can make use of this energy form.
This energy is generated through the wind-mills when they rotate.

✿ Wind energy is the kinetic energy associated with the movement of large masses of air, resulting from the differential heating of atmosphere by the sun .
✿ Hence, wind energy is a converted form of solar energy .
✿ The total potential of wind energy is very large .
✿ It varies not only from region to region, but also in the same region from time to time.
✿ For the utilisation of wind energy, ideally the speed of wind should be between 8 and 22 metre per second .
✿ Wind turbines are used for the purposes of obtaining wind energy .
