Wind Power by Ioan Antonio Gomoescu https://padlet.com/1801758/wdsldwkdrgcrlkss Trabajo Física y Química en-us 2020-05-26 12:17:36 UTC 2026-01-11 19:16:53 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f52c.png Antonio Gomoescu 1801758 https://padlet.com/1801758/wdsldwkdrgcrlkss/wish/594622418 Wind power is energy produced by the wind. We can use wind to generate energy in two ways: Directly and in wind turbines.
-Directly: it ocurrs when for example  the wind moves a sail of windmills and the sails of sailing boats. 
-Wind turbines is when the wind moves the blades of a rotor that is connected to a generator.

Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. A generator can convert mechanical power into electricity. Mechanical power can also be utilized directly for specific tasks such as pumping water.
The equation for calculating wind power is: P=1/2 pAV3]]> 2020-05-26 12:43:50 UTC https://padlet.com/1801758/wdsldwkdrgcrlkss/wish/594654457 Antonio Gomoescu 1801758 https://padlet.com/1801758/wdsldwkdrgcrlkss/wish/594697692 2020-05-26 13:05:47 UTC https://padlet.com/1801758/wdsldwkdrgcrlkss/wish/594697692 Eduardo García 1801464 https://padlet.com/1801758/wdsldwkdrgcrlkss/wish/594886719 Wind power is a type of energy that  is produced by the wind. Wind  energy can became electric energy by eolic machines. It is a type of renewable energy, whose source is the inexhaustible force of the wind. We can use the eolic energy to:
Transform it into electric energy and then use that electric energy.

This means to say, it is obtained from virtually inexhaustible natural sources, either because of the immense amount of energy they contain, or because they are capable of regeneration by natural means.

Denmark set a new renewable energy record in 2017 by obtaining nearly half of its power from wind. The renewable source supplied 43.6 percent of electricity demand, beating the nation’s prior record of 42% in 2015. In just a few years, the country could obtain 50 percent of its power from wind.

Is caused by uneven temperatures on the Earth's surface when heated by the sun. Because the air over the land heats up more quickly than the air over the water the warm air rises and the heavier cooler air rushes in to take its place creating wind.

  • It is a renewable source of energy, which means that it will not run out!
  • As one of the windiest countries in Europe, it is perfect for our climate!
  • Wind energy is pollution free.
  • The land between the turbines can be used for farming meaning it doesn’t take up too much space.
  • Wind turbines can be used to supply energy in remote places.
  • There is no need to dig underground or drill for the resource; therefore there is less land pollution!

There are over 130 wind farms in the UK and many more are under construction.

    Wind turbines can be put in any area where there is a lot of wind! Some are on land and some are in the sea – these are called ‘offshore’ wind farms!

    Wind power has been used as long as humans have put sails into the wind. King Hammurabi's Codex  already mentioned windmills for generating mechanical energy. Wind-powered machines used to grind grain and pump water, the windmill and wind pump, were developed in what is now Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan by the 9th century. Wind power was widely available and not confined to the banks of fast-flowing streams, or later, requiring sources of fuel.]]>     2020-05-28 10:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/1801758/wdsldwkdrgcrlkss/wish/598872074     Disadvantages of wind power 1801758 https://padlet.com/1801758/wdsldwkdrgcrlkss/wish/598884777

    3.Wind turbines have a visual impact.
    4.May reduce the local bird population.

      A wind turbine is a generator of electrical energy that converts kinetic energy into mechanical energy through a turbine. When it rotates, it produces movement energy that reaches a transformer that converts it into electric energy.

Brush. The turbine's diameter was 17 meters (50 feet), it had 144 rotor blades made of cedar wood, and it generated about 12 kilowatts (kW) of power.

    American colonists used windmills to grind grain, to pump water, and to cut wood at sawmills. Homesteaders and ranchers installed thousands of wind pumps as they settled the western United States. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, small wind-electric generators (wind turbines) were also widely used.

During this process, a wind turbine harnesses the energy of the wind. As the wind starts to move the blades of the turbine, a generator starts to turn which then produces electricity.

Spain is the fifth country in the world in terms of installed wind power after China, the US, Germany and India.

    Spanish companies, both turbine manufacturers and wind-farm operators, are among the leaders in the global wind-power market. Some examples are Gamesa Eólica (world's second largest turbine manufacturer), Iberdrola (world's largest wind-farm owner and operator) and Acciona Energía (world's largest wind-farm builder and developer).

    Spanish utility Iberdrola will build its next wind farm, the Herrera Complex, with the most powerful onshore wind turbine installed to date 

    The Herrera Complex, which will be built in Burgos province, is made up of three wind farms – La Huesa, Valdesantos and Orbaneja, and will have an installed capacity of 63MW, distributed between a total of 14 wind turbines. Forecasts indicate that the project will be operational later in 2020.

    Iberdrola will also build the 10MW-capacity Fuenteblanca wind farm in its vicinity.

    With the Herrera wind complex, Iberdrola is progressing with its renewables investment plan in Spain, where the company plans to install 3,000 new wind and photovoltaic. By 2030, company forecasts point to the installation of 10,000 new MW.
