Wind Energy | Future of Renewable Energy | Full Documentary
Wind power is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy technologies. Usage is on the rise worldwide, in part because costs are falling. Global installed wind-generation capacity onshore and offshore has increased by a factor of almost 75 in the past two decades, jumping from 7.5 gigawatts (GW) in 1997 to some 564 GW by 2018, according to IRENA's latest data. Production of wind electricity doubled between 2009 and 2013, and in 2016 wind energy accounted for 16% of the electricity generated by renewables. Many parts of the world have strong wind speeds, but the best locations for generating wind power are sometimes remote ones. Offshore wind power offers tremendous potential.
Wind turbines first emerged more than a century ago. Following the invention of the electric generator in the 1830s, engineers started attempting to harness wind energy to produce electricity. Wind power generation took place in the United Kingdom and the United States in 1887 and 1888, but modern wind power is considered to have been first developed in Denmark, where horizontal-axis wind turbines were built in 1891 and a 22.8-metre wind turbine began operation in 1897.
Wind is used to produce electricity using the kinetic energy created by air in motion. This is transformed into electrical energy using wind turbines or wind energy conversion systems. Wind first hits a turbine’s blades, causing them to rotate and turn the turbine connected to them. That changes the kinetic energy to rotational energy, by moving a shaft which is connected to a generator, and thereby producing electrical energy through electromagnetism.
The amount of power that can be harvested from wind depends on the size of the turbine and the length of its blades. The output is proportional to the dimensions of the rotor and to the cube of the wind speed. Theoretically, when wind speed doubles, wind power potential increases by a factor of eight.
Wind-turbine capacity has increased over time. In 1985, typical turbines had a rated capacity of 0.05 megawatts (MW) and a rotor diameter of 15 metres. Today’s new wind power projects have turbine capacities of about 2 MW onshore and 3-5 MW offshore.
Commercially available wind turbines have reached 8 MW capacity, with rotor diameters of up to 164 metres. The average capacity of wind turbines increased from 1.6 MW in 2009 to 2 MW in 2014.

    My sailboat goes about the same speed at full throttle with the 10 hp engines as it does under sail with 20 mph winds. 10 hp is about 7500 watts. It might make a good wind turbine if there were a lot of huge sailboats attached to spokes on a giant wheel turning a generator. They are not at the ideal height to capture the higgest vekocity wind but they capture a lot more of the wind than the three bladed turbines. The largest wind turbine n the world generates about 16 megawatts of electricity near its cut off wind velocity which is about 55 mph. That is about 2% of the wind energy that passes through the swept area at the tip of the blades. There may be materials cost considerations that decide things. Lokking at a three bladed turbine, one would not expect it to capture much of the wind energy in the swept area since the blades take up such a small fraction of the swept area. Another option might be to combine wind, solar, and wave energy in a lower level platform that uses much smaller support towers to support a huge surface instead of just one turbine. A giant platform made out of aluminum and covered in aluminum concentrated solar panels. Aluminum trough mirriors heating compressed air in aluminum ppes to 500°C to drive a giant gas turbine that is situated at the center of the curculat platform and durected downward. Floats like giant soda bottles filled with compressed air attached by lever arms to the platform might generate 100 megawatts of electricity in average seas. The same floats could support the sail like blades of the giant turbine that circles the platform and delivers about another 100 negawatts of electricity in moderate winds. Combined trough mirror and PV solar would generate about 500 megawatts of electricity. In strong winds the total power outout would be over a billion watts. And it flies. The central turbine would deliver two or three hundred thousand horsepower in thrust. Anither 200 hundred thousand horsepower could be supplied to giant drone motors from the PV component of the solar collectors.

    ​ @kenhyde1781 You obviously miss my obvious point, though I am obviously sarcastic in its making. While The Great Wind Turbine Tribe touts their 'clean' and 'renewable' engery agenda and those devices that seem to hold the key to its implementation, they either do not recognize or willfully ignore the role that those nasty old fossil fuels play in their creation. Start with the blades. Most blades are made with fibreglass-reinforced polyester or epoxy. Any idea where polyesters and epoxies originate? Those who seek to rid the planet of the scourge of fossil fuels might want to take a look at the labels on the various items of clothing hanging in their closet or populating their chest of drawers. If the label indicates they are made of fabrics with names like nylon, polyester, acrylic, rayon, spandex. Why, without latex that Playtex Living Bra would be dead on arrival. It is rather yucky to think that just about everything we wear beginsas thick, grimy, malodorous crude oil. And just about everything else with an iota of plastic in it... Which these days is just about everything...

    Windmills are the past not the future. They are not renewable, rely on digging up vast amounts of landscape for minerals, notwithstanding the amount of land required for the farms, and most of all for energy return on energy invested are not viable without heavy subsidies. Nuclear offers 100-1 return, oil 30-1 and windmills 5-1, when the wind blows, which then leads to the next problem, storage, which require more minerals, mines, and refining.

    Remarkable engineering feat. Unfortunately for the wind industry, a single small gas turbine plant can easily supply well over a million homes…at a fraction of the cost environmentally. As the CO2 hoax becomes increasingly exposed, and the blight of wind farms become opposed by the public, things will right themselves. These offshore farms will become fabulous reef structures as they are abandoned and collapse…so there is a silver lining to mans folly and collective psychosis.

      Factoring in manufacturing, operational life and decommissioning, wind and solar are far cleaner and safer than fossil fuel power. Wind and solar require carbon emissions during construction and installation, but produce virtually no emissions over their operational lives. Fossil fuel plants emit CO2 every single day in vast quantities, and during manufacture and installation too.

    Other than the use of nuclear power, renewable energy from wind and solar will never power the World unless we return to a level of poverty last seen in the Middle Ages. Wind and solar units have a short lifespan of 10 to 15 years and the energy to replace them will not be there in the required scale. Denmark does not get much of its power from wind since it is delivered at the wrong time so they sell it cheaply to Norway in return for expensive hydropower when they need it to back up their combined heat and power units using pig and other waste. Germany for all its investment in renewables only is self-sufficient from these sources on the odd day or two in the year when there is consistent wind and they rely on nuclear power from their neighbors. So renewables are a fantasy designed to transfer wealth from the poor to the rich who fly their private jets and travel in their large yachts with no regard to climate change.

    I am all for renewable, clean energy. The truth is there is no such thing as net zero carbon "renewable energy." These large wind turbines are made from material that require the burning of coal to melt the iron ore needed to build windmill turbines. Also there is a habit among people who dislike fossil fuel to make pseudo-scientific numbers to justify solar or wind energy. I am also worried that these same people also make fake environmental phenomenons to justify clean, renewable energy. We need to find real solutions (not fake solutions) to solve real problems (not fake problems). We live in a modern, industrialized world. We need real energy to power our machines that make our live better. I have visited third-world countries that are pre-industrial and they widely use solar and wind energy. They have insufficient power and inconsistent power. I am very wary of people who live in modern, industrialized societies claiming that solar and wind energy can meet the energy requirements of developed, industrialized societies. Let us be realistic. We should invest in alternative forms of energy (solar and wind), but they can only supplement our total energy requirement, and we should invest accordingly. We must continue to develop our traditional forms of energy that are reliable and actually satisfy our energy requirements, and we should invest accordingly.
