Wind & Wind Power
contents > wind technology > wind & wind power
Like the weather in general, the wind can be unpredictable. It varies from place to place, and from moment to moment. Because it is invisible it is not easily measured without special instruments. Wind velocity is affected by the trees, buildings, hills and valleys around us. Wind is a diffuse energy source that cannot be easily contained or stored for use elsewhere or at another time. It challenges us to harness it, but it first demands considerable study.
To be economically practical, a wind turbine should experience year-round average wind speeds of at least 12 mph. Sometimes people say, "The wind always blows at my place," or "I live on the highest hill in the county." These observations, while true, are too simplistic. A careful and precise wind survey should be made before buying a wind system. Wind turbine owners who buy without careful consideration are frequently disappointed in their system's performance. At the going price for a complete wind turbine installation, it makes economic sense to first thoroughly check out your wind resource.

This section describes the important characteristics of wind flow and explains how to measure and evaluate wind at a prospective wind turbine site.

Power is the rate at which work is done (energy / time). Whereas, energy is the same as work which the is the product of force and the distance through which the force acts. Note that both energy and work have the SI units as Joules (J).

yes power is energy per time. or if you differentiate the energy over time you get power.
now if you differeantiate power over time you get the rate of chang of power


if now you mean if we can seperate them considere them apart. the answer is yes. power though canot exsist without energy ........energy though exists without definin power in many systems......
