wind Power

Wind energy is the energy from wind, ie, the kinetic energy generated by the effect of air currents, and is transmuted into other useful forms for human activities. Today, wind energy is mainly used to produce electricity through wind turbines. Wind energy is an abundant, renewable, clean and helps reduce emissions of greenhouse gases to replace power plants based on fossil fuels, which makes it a kind of green energy. Its main drawback is the intermittency of wind.

Advantages of wind energy It is a type of renewable energy because it comes from atmospheric processes due to the energy that reaches Earth from the Sun It is a clean energy because it produces no air emissions or polluting waste. No combustion that produces carbon dioxide (CO2), so it does not contribute to the greenhouse effect and climate change. Can be installed in areas unsuitable for other purposes, such as in desert areas near the coast, in arid and very steep slopes to be arable. Can coexist with other land uses, such grasslands for livestock or crops use low as wheat, corn, potatoes, beets, etc.. Create a high number of jobs in assembly plants and installation areas.

 Installation is quick, from 4 months to 9 months

Disadvantages of wind energy technicalities Due to the lack of safety in the presence of wind, wind power can not be used as the sole source of electric power. Therefore, to save the "valleys" in the production of wind energy is indispensable support of conventional energy (coal or combined cycle, for example, and more recently of clean coal or hydroelectric regulation have conembalse) . However, when supporting wind, coal plants can not function at its best, which is close to 90% of its power

Technically, one of the major drawbacks of wind turbines is called voltage dip. Before one of these phenomena, the protections of the turbines with squirrel cage motors are disconnected from the network to avoid being damaged and therefore cause further disruptions in the network, in this case, lack of supply. One of the major drawbacks of this type of generation is inherently difficult to predict in advance the generation. Since electrical systems are operated generation computing with a day in advance in view of expected consumption, the randomness of wind poses serious problems.
