Development Of Low Cost Wind Turbine

Abstract

Wind energy is a source of renewable power which comes from air current flowing across the earth's surface. Wind turbines harvest this kinetic energy and convert it into usable power which can provide electricity for home, farm, school or business applications on small residential or large utility scales. Wind energy is one of the fastest growing sources of electricity and one of the fastest growing markets in the world today. These growth trends can be linked to the multi-dimensional benefits associated with wind energy. Green Power and clean energy source. The electricity produced from wind power is said to be clean because its production produces no pollution or greenhouse gases. As both health and environmental concerns are on the rise, clean energy sources are a growing demand. Sustainable source of energy. Wind is a renewable energy resource it is inexhaustible and requires no fuel besides the wind that blows across the earth. This infinite energy supply is a security that many users view as a stable investment in our energy economy as well as in our children's' future. Better Economic Development. As well as being affordable, wind power is a locally-produced source of electricity that enables communities to keep energy dollars in their economy. Job creation in manufacturing, service, construction, and operation and tax base increase are other economic development benefits for communities utilizing wind energy.
