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...
