Wind Energy Physics

by
Since air has mass (1.23Kg/cubic meter), its motion can exert sizeable forces as its momentum is stopped or slowed down. The momentum transfer can be used to rotate propeller style wind sails, often called wind turbines. The rotating turbine is connected to an electrical generator through a gear box:
Most generator systems are synchronized to the utility grid so the generators spin at a constant speed. To compensate for different wind conditions most systems have variable pitch propellers that can capture more or less wind forces.  Some wind generator also have gearboxes that have variable input vs output gear ratios, as another way to deal with different wind speed conditions.  The better machines carefully measure the wind speed and make corrections to the propeller blades and the gearbox to maintain maximum mechanical to electrical conversion efficiency.
The minimum speed that a wind turbine can begin producing useful electricity is often called the cut-in speed. Many systems have a typical 10 mph cut-in speed requirement.  When the wind speed exceeds a certain level, many wind turbines disconnect their generators from the power grid and rotate the propellers to a feather position to prevent damage to the turbine. The cut-out speed of many systems is around 50 or 60 mph.

Silent VAWT
From:  mdoll1972

PacWind’s Delta 2 produces an average of 5kw, but if winds of 29mph are present it can produce up to 10kw. I am standing on the roof of our building which overlooks the Torrance Airport, there is a lot of noise pollution during the day from vehicle traffic, helicopters/airplanes and work projects down below. I am proud that our Turbine is completely silent and dos not contribute to the daily noise pollution in the city that I love. Please see us at www.pacwind.net (more)

Colorado Farmer 1.2
From:  thirdpointmedia

Phil Davis, a Colorado farmer, shows us how his solar panel setup reduces his monthly energy bills to zero, pays itself off after ten years and after that becomes a profitable venture. He shows, rather than tells, us that clean energy is here and working. – This is a revision of the early ad, it adds in the website at the bottom for longer. I think this add should appeal to the environmentally-curious, but financially-hesitant, middle America, giving them a clear example of how cost effective it can be to make earth-friendly decisions. This could be one in a series that would also include wind power on a ranch in the midwest.

Disk Wind Turbine
From:  otivaeey

How the turbine works: Rotatable shutters mounted on a circular disk automatically open when directed into the wind, irregardless of the wind’s direction.  Pairs of upper and lower shutters are geared together. The lower shutter acts as a counterweight to the upper shutter. The bottom shutter opens in the downward direction and its weight helps to lift the upper shutter in the upward direction, as the wind applies an opening force against both shutters….

Climbing Wind Turbines
From:  newconsumer

Swaffham, Norfolk, to climb the UK’s only wind turbine open to the public.

Last week, the EU committed Europe to producing 20 per cent of its energy from renewables by 2020.

In the UK, that mostly means wind power, which – contrary to some reports – is being greeted with open arms in parts of the country. One of the nation’s wind-lovers is the tiny Norfolk town of Swaffham, which is already home to two major turbines and has just received a planning application for another six

The UK has the largest wind resource of any country in Europe, making it the ideal choice for a renewable source of energy.

It is estimated that small scale wind generation – together with other forms of microgeneration – could provide 30-40% of all the UK’s electricity needs by 2050*. And, with price trends for crude oil continuing upwards, it is currently projected that the cost of small scale wind will be competitive with fossil fuels by as early as 2010. The BWEA has some useful information on small wind…

Plug-In Hybrids to Remain Rare Despite Amazing Mileage, says ABI Research :  new link — OYSTER BAY, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aug. 30, 2005–Though it would probably void the warranty, owners have been known to modify their hybrid vehicles to run longer solely on electric power and to charge their batteries from electric mains (thus the name, "plug-in hybrid"). If they recharge frequently enough, it is possible to use the gasoline engine in the vehicle only rarely, literally allowing for hundred of miles per gallon. So why aren’t automakers offering this as a factory option?

TreeHuggerTV: Plug-in Prius
From:  treehuggertv

Wanna learn how to get 100 miles per gallon from your hybrid? We get under the hood with CalCars. These Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) shift pollution from a tailpipe to a power-plant. Even charging off the national grid, which is about 50% coal, these cars produce under half the net pollution! And get this, not only is electricity under $1/gallon, but these cars are only going to get cleaner as the grid gets cleaner!
