How does a Wind Energy Farm Work?

-
  Wind energy  farms are areas where a group of large  wind turbine s is installed to harvest  wind power . These turbines resemble really tall windmills and are often found in open land areas to get an uninterrupted supply of wind to move the propeller-like blades.    Wind farm s do not require any fuel to run the turbines ;  rather it is considered the cleanest so urce of energy. The power of wind is used to move the blades of the turbine around a rotor, which then spins the generator attached to the turbine to ultimately create electricity. While energy generated from wind is a much cleaner process compared to the  energy created from fossil fuel, it has still not been adapted to its full potential.    How do wind turbines work?   W ind energy is generated using a simple principle where instead of electr icity being used to generate wind, the reverse happens, the power of wind is used to generate electricity. In a manner of spea...

How is a Wind-Solar Hybrid Power Plant Beneficial in India?

-
  With the growing global warming and climate change taking the world by storm, cleaner energy sources must become an integral part of how the world functions. It is a known fact that fossil fuels have already been overused and may not be available to the co ming generations.    In such a scena rio, the onus lies with the current generation to adapt sustainable power sources that can assist in creating a better environment.  Solar energy and wind energy  are k nown to be two of the cleanest sources of energy. Not onl y are they interdependent, but  they  also can form to be a great hybrid option.    Advantages of establishing a  wind-solar  hybrid power plant   It is a known fact that   wind power energy  and solar energy are complementary sources of energy. This allows the  wind-solar  hybrid system  to work optimally throughout the 24-hour  day cycle.    Both wind farms and solar energy...

The Rise of Solar Power in India

-
  Renewable energy, more specifically  solar energy , is the power generation technology of the future. Countries across the world have flexibly adopted this new form of renewable energy. Specifically, India has massive  solar energy -producing potential with more than  5,000 trillion kWh annual energy  incident over the entire land area of the country. This implies that most parts of the country receive nearly  four-seven kWh  of solar energy per sq. m each day.     Even a small part of this massive incident of  solar energy  can effectively meet the total power demand of the country. Besides emerging as a sustainable solution to meet the nation’s energy needs,  solar power  plants   also  aggravate  the government’s agenda of achieving sustainable growth in the long-run.     What  Should We K now about  Solar Energy in India ?     A major factor fuelling the rise of  sola...
