Summary
The kinetic energy associated with moving air is related to
the cube of its velocity
Wind turbines extract energy from moving air and convert
it into electrical energy
Different wind turbine geometries have different
efficiencies
Available wind energy depends on location
Generally available wind energy increases with altitude
and distance offshore
Wind farms combine numerous turbines which can be
placed to optimize power production
Development of wind power is being actively pursued by a
number of different countries
Denmark, Spain and Germany have the greatest installed
wind capacity per capita
