Wind power is the use of air flow through wind turbines to mechanically power generators for electric power. |
|
Wind farms consist of many individual wind turbines which are connected to the electric power transmission network. |
|
|

In some cases, wind onshore is already the cheapest electric power generation option and costs are continuing to decline. |
|
Conversely, a large generator would cost more but generate little extra power and, depending on the type, may stall out at low wind speed. |
|
Wind energy penetration is the fraction of energy produced by wind compared with the total generation. |
|
This reserve capacity can also serve to compensate for the varying power generation produced by wind stations. |
|
Electrical utilities continue to study the effects of large scale penetration of wind generation on system stability and economics. |
|
A wind energy penetration figure can be specified for different duration of time, but is often quoted annually. |
|
Seasonal industry might then take advantage of high wind and low usage times such as at night when wind output can exceed normal demand. |
|
In Australia, the state of South Australia generates around half of the nation's wind power capacity. |
|
The variability of wind is quite different from solar, wind may be producing power at night when other baseload plants are often overproducing. |
|
|
Wind power is variable, and during low wind periods it must be replaced by other power sources. |
|
In certain cases the increased predictability can be used to take wind power penetration from 20 to 30 or 40 per cent. |
|
On seasonal timescales, solar energy peaks in summer, whereas in many areas wind energy is lower in summer and higher in winter. |
|
Thus the seasonal variation of wind and solar power tend to cancel each other somewhat. |
|
When the wind is blowing strongly, nearby hydroelectric stations can temporarily hold back their water. |
|
When the wind drops they can, provided they have the generation capacity, rapidly increase production to compensate. |
|
Stored energy increases the economic value of wind energy since it can be shifted to displace higher cost generation during peak demand periods. |
|
In particular geographic regions, peak wind speeds may not coincide with peak demand for electrical power. |
|
The price of wind power is therefore much more stable than the volatile prices of fossil fuel sources. |

|
Seif dunes are thought to develop from barchans if a change of the usual wind direction occurs. |
|
The new wind direction will lead to the development of a new wing and the over development of one of the original wings. |
|
If the prevailing wind then becomes dominant for a lengthy period of time the dune will revert to its barchan form, with one exaggerated wing. |
|
|
The wing will continue to grow under both wind conditions, thus producing a seif dune. |
|
In the sheltered troughs between highly developed seif dunes barchans may be formed because the wind is unidirectional. |

|
Further inefficiencies, such as gearbox losses, generator and converter losses, reduce the power delivered by a wind turbine. |
|
Small turbines are pointed by a simple wind vane, while large turbines generally use a wind sensor coupled with a servomotor. |
|
In high winds, the blades can also be allowed to bend which reduces their swept area and thus their wind resistance. |
|
Additionally, the blades are placed a considerable distance in front of the tower and are sometimes tilted forward into the wind a small amount. |
|
|
When a turbine is mounted on a rooftop the building generally redirects wind over the roof and this can double the wind speed at the turbine. |
|
Wind turbines are designed, using a range of computer modelling techniques, to exploit the wind energy that exists at a location. |

|
Equatorial Kelvin waves are often associated with anomalies in surface wind stress. |
|
Oblique incoming wind squeezes water along the coast, and so generates a water current which moves parallel to the coast. |
|
Beach sand is also moved on such oblique wind days, due to the swash and backwash of water on the beach. |
|
As spits grow, the water behind them is sheltered from wind and waves, and a salt marsh is likely to develop. |
|
The main organ for its production is rhizomes, which is dispersed along the shore by wind and water. |
|
Powerful wind whips up large, strong waves in the direction of its movement. |
|
However, upon entering a shallow, gently sloping shelf, the surge cannot be disperse, but is driven ashore by the wind stresses of the hurricane. |
|
When directly generated and affected by local winds, a wind wave system is called a wind sea. |
|
All of these factors work together to determine the size of wind waves and the structure of the flow within them. |
|
A fully developed sea has the maximum wave size theoretically possible for a wind of a specific strength, duration, and fetch. |
|
Since the wind speed profile is logarithmic to the water surface, the curvature has a negative sign at this point. |
|
This relation shows the wind flow transferring its kinetic energy to the water surface at their interface. |
|
Ripples appear on smooth water when the wind blows, but will die quickly if the wind stops. |
|
These waves tend to last much longer, even after the wind has died, and the restoring force that allows them to propagate is gravity. |
|
The paths of water molecules in a wind wave are circular only when the wave is traveling in deep water. |
|
Waves can also break if the wind grows strong enough to blow the crest off the base of the wave. |

|
Sand dunes can orient themselves perpendicular to the prevailing wind regime within coastal and desert locations. |
|
Presented in a polar coordinate grid, the wind rose shows the frequency of winds blowing from particular directions. |
|
The length of each spoke around the circle is related to the frequency that the wind blows from a particular direction per unit time. |
|
This results in moisture rich air from the Pacific Ocean to flow from the west, resulting in frequent rainstorms and wind on the coast. |
|
In areas where the wind flow is light, sea breezes and land breezes are important factors in a location's prevailing winds. |
|
In the Great Plains, wind erosion of agricultural land is a significant problem, and is mainly driven by the prevailing wind. |
|
Because of this, wind barrier strips have been developed to minimize this type of erosion. |
|
The strips can be in the form of soil ridges, crop strips, crops rows, or trees which act as wind breaks. |
|
Offshore wind power refers to the construction of wind farms in bodies of water to generate electricity from wind. |

|
Local winds are often monitored for a year or more, and detailed wind maps constructed before wind generators are installed. |
|
The wind blows faster at higher altitudes because of the reduced influence of drag. |
|
This is done to exploit the topographic acceleration as the wind accelerates over a ridge. |
|
The additional wind speeds gained in this way can increase energy produced because more wind goes through the turbines. |
|
Offshore wind turbines are less obtrusive than turbines on land, as their apparent size and noise is mitigated by distance. |
|
There exist also some wind farms which were mainly built for testing wind turbines. |
