The fuel in the earth will be exhausted in a thousand or more years,
and its mineral wealth, but man will find substitutes for these in the winds,
the waves, the sun’s heat, and so forth.
~ John Burroughs
A wind turbine turns wind energy into electricity using the aerodynamic force from the rotor blades, which work like an airplane wing or helicopter rotor blade. When wind flows across the blade, the air pressure on one side of the blade decreases. This translation of aerodynamic force to rotation of a generator creates electricity.
Wind energy offers many advantages, which explains why it’s one of the fastest-growing energy sources in the world. The wind is a unique resource because we interact with it every minute. It has been harnessed since ancient times, and it is the most eco-friendly source of energy around. It has a wide range of uses. You may be familiar with a few, but others may totally catch you by surprise. Enough said, let’s drive through the most innovative uses of wind energy:
Today’s, New Lavrion can supply a new wind power projects that have turbine capacities of about 2 MW onshore and 3–5 MW offshore.
