can somebody Please tell me something about wind energy farms?

Question

urgent!!!

Answer 1

A wind farm is a collection of wind turbines in the same location. They generate wind-powered electricity. Production varies with the wind. Extra overheads are incurred integrating wind farms into an electric grid. A proposed solution for wind energy and other intermittent power sources is to create a supergrid of interconnected wind farms across western Europe. This large-scale array of dispersed wind farms would be located in different wind regimes.

Energy Farms are a response to the dominant agricultural model of the so-called “Green Revolution” that turns soil to dust, chemicals to food, and food to fuel.

To help meet America's increasing energy needs while protecting our Nation's energy security and environment, the U.S. Department of Energy is working with wind industry partners to develop clean, domestic, innovative wind energy technologies that can compete with conventional fuel sources. DOE's Wind Energy Program efforts have culminated in some of industry's leading products today and have contributed to record-breaking industry growth.

Answer 3

What do you want to know???

It reallyd epends on where you live..do you get strong enough winds.....

Biggest factor i've seen is the community.....depending on the direction of the wind and how you have to set up the windmill......if houses are close by....it can cause problems...

THe blades ....angle of the sun taken into account...can block the sun.....anyways...it results in a flickering (like a strobe light) effect....causes problems...

Answer 4

A wind farm is a farm ! HA HA HA HA HA LOL

Answer 5

Advantages:
-Doesn't pollute.
-"free energy"(at least in theory....)
-Scalable; (i.e. even small turbines can make money)
-Moderate initial investment.
-Competitive with conventional power plants in terms of cost/profits.
-Pleasing to the eye(depending on whom you ask....)
-Good public reputation.

Drawbacks:
-Unreliable.
-Can't be turned on and off when needed.
-Only worthwhile in consistently windy areas.
-Maintainance is tricky and expensive.
-Destroys habitat.
-Kills birds, kills bats, kills insects (big loss there......;-)

Hope that helps,
