Download or read book How Is Wind Power Harvested written by Maurine Rubie and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-20 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wind power is harnessed by a machine called a wind turbine. Wind turbines are tall towers topped with blades. The blades are connected to a vertical shaft or rod. When wind causes the blades to spin, they turn the shaft. The turning shaft provides power to a machine called a generator, which produces electricity. A group of wind turbines called a wind farm can be used to provide electricity to a community. Small turbines provide power for individual homes.

Book excerpt: If you're considering installing a wind turbine on your property, you're probably wondering what the basics are. Wind energy is becoming increasingly popular and has numerous benefits. For one thing, it is a renewable energy resource that helps the environment by avoiding greenhouse gases. Wind turbines are also getting taller and can be installed at higher heights. To learn more about wind energy, you can view an energy department wind resource map. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's report on taller wind turbines shows the potential for taller turbines in your area. Additionally, most wind turbine components are produced in the United States. Wind projects across the country employ more than 116,000 people and support more than 530 manufacturing facilities. The amount of wind power economically extractable is greater than the total amount of power generated by all sources combined. Wind energy is available in areas where the wind is strong, so the average wind speed doesn't represent how much energy a turbine could potentially produce. Large wind turbines, on the other hand, can generate enough energy to power over 600 American homes. They are also commonly used as rental income for rural communities. This is an important Wind Power Facts to consider before starting your own wind farm. Regional grids can accommodate more wind power than they currently do, allowing them to integrate even higher amounts of renewable energy. Many states are reaching new levels of renewable energy, and more are setting records for how much energy they generate. In fact, more than a dozen states now generate at least 10% of their electricity from wind energy. In addition, five states are at or near 25% wind energy. One of those states is Iowa, which is very close to 40%.
