Abstract- in this paper we have discussed the full summary of wind power,and also why the wind energy was not widely accepted, advantages and disadvantages of wind power and types of wind energy and how to eliminate the disadvantages of wind energy. This paper also explains how the new innovative technologies have eliminates the disadvantages of wind energy and conventional wind turbines.
Keywords- HAWT, VAWT,PV
INTRODUCTION:
On a global scale, wind turbines are currently generating about as much electricity as eight large nuclear power plants. That includes not only utility-scale turbines, but also small turbines generating electricity for individual homes or businesses (sometimes used in conjunction with photovoltaic solar energy). A small, 10-kW-capacity turbine can generate up to 16,000 kWh per year, and a typical U.S. household consumes about 10,000 kWh in a year.
A typical large wind turbine can generate up to 1.8 MW of electricity, or 5.2

    Estimates show that wind speeds are 70% greater offshore than onshore. Logically, this means more energy is produced per the same unit of time leading costs of offshore wind to have fallen by 75% since 2014-- making it increasingly attractive for investors. Even more promisingly, according to the American Wind Energy Association, the United States has the potential for 2,000 GW of energy because of its vast coasts, which is double our current energy consumption. In fact, in G20 countries offshore wind energy is becoming cheaper than fossil fuels. By 2026, it is expected the market size will become $21 billion.

  • Should Renewable Energy Replace Fossil Fuels

    Renewable energy development outperforms fossil fuels (UCSUSA, 2013) in two important ways when it comes to driving job growth, first of all renewable energy development is relatively labour intensive, so it creates more jobs per dollar invested than fossil fuel resources and Installing renewable energy facilities uses primarily local workers, so investment dollars are kept in local communities. Local landowners benefit from renewable energy development.  When wind turbines (UCSUSA, 2013) are installed on privately owned land, the land owners typically receive payments in the form of lease, royalty, or right-of-way payments. These payments can be an important source of income for rural

    wind energy and solar energy are both renewable types of energy they create no pollution and are fully sustainable as they are both powered by natural sources and if there is no wind one day the solar panels can generate energy and if it 's cloudy another day the windmills can generate energy also the energy created during the summer can be sold to the grid for extra capital that can be used for field trips, renovations, etc. Geothermal heating systems are rated the most efficient and eco-friendly heating systems. The system works using buried coils that contain a liquid, typically a mix of water and antifreeze. The liquid is warmed to the same temperature as the earth and then runs through to the home where a compressor extracts the heat but not only that geothermal heating requires no fossil fuels so it is very eco-friendly LED lighting is an efficient and eco friendly lighting alternative because they waste much less energy in converting to light compare to incandescent lights which waste 90% of the energy to convert to heat not only that LED lights last up to 15-25 times longer that traditional light bulbs this makes LED a much better source of lights than others because it wastes less energy and it is more efficient at doing its job this is so much better for the environment because it uses less energy that other lighting sources

    In today’s world, energy demands are constantly expanding. The use of fossil fuels as the main energy source in the United States has lead to environmental pollution and there are also concerns for the supply of fossil fuels. In response to the growing global concern for alternative sources of energy that are environmentally friendly, there has been significant development over the years for wind energy production and other energy sources. However, as development of wind energy production has increased, there have been claims made against the strategies used to produce power from wind that dub them as being unclean, and in fact not environmentally friendly. As such, the controversy lies in whether large-scale wind power is in fact environmentally

    Nowadays, we usually use the newer term called “wind turbine”.1 About four percent of the energy created in the United States comes from wind energy,2 and over 100 countries are now following in this trend and produce energy through the use of wind. This not only shows that a wind energy has great potential in the future, but also how popular it already is. It can be said that the more countries there are that using wind energy the better it is for our world. It is better because wind energy is a sustainable energy source.3 Looking back already at around 1000 AD wind power used and spread around northern Europe, starting with Holland.

    However, using windmills is just another way to just get electricity and power, it's just a more effective way to get it and it doesn't cause pollution, and it doesn't take millions of years just to re-use this source of power. Windmills are a big part of the U.S we use them all over the world. Just one windmill can power a whole city,or even a whole state. Just imagine 10 or 20 in the same Vicinity it can power a lot of stuff, and still have a large amount of electricity left to use. The only thing about using windmills, is you have to have a lot of land and it has to be a very windy region because those propellers on the windmill are as long as a building and that's just the propellers.
