The Pros and Cons of Wind Powered Generators
The average house and its inhabitants are consuming large amounts of electricity on a daily basis and are doing so not even realizing it. Electrical consumption has become almost an instinctive way of life. However, as fossil fuel supplies deplete and the cost for power increases, the use of wind powered generators will become more and more an option to produce electricity. This is the reason to discuss the advantages of this new technology and what it means for our future.
Advantages of Wind Power are many.
- The first big advantage is that there are no greenhouse gas emissions or any other type of pollution.
- Wind power will provide new sources of income and jobs in areas where this technology will be used.
- It only takes a small area to install a turbine as compared to existing coal or gas powered generator systems and remote areas can now produce their own electricity effectively.
- Wind turbines are now available in all sizes so that single households to businesses to small towns can make use of the power of the wind.
- Wind poser is free and will be a source for power indefinitely.
- Turbines are being improved and smaller units are now producing more power.
- Extra electricity produced can now be sent back into the grid and credits received.
- More and more tax credits are being offered as well as business incentives. Each state and the federal government have become more receptive to the use of this free power.
- Wind turbines do not consume water making them ideal in any area.
10. Most of all, wind energy is safe.
11. The cost to produce will be less connected to economic or political consitions.
Disadvantages of Wind Power.
- Sometimes turbines can be noisy. However engineers are beginning to
solve these problems using new design techniques.
- Wind power is sometimes intermittent and may have to be backed up
by other forms of power.
- Not all areas are suitable for the use of wind turbines. Some areas have less wind than other areas. Wind turbines sometimes interfere with radar, TV or radio transmissions, line of sight and even birds.
- Some of the larger turbines require larger areas to install them.
Research in wind power generation has intensified because of its major advantages over other power generator sources. New technology along with precise location of these turbines will help to offset any of the disadvantages. In an electricity dependent world, power suppliers must provide the ever increasing demands that consumers will place on the system. Wind Powered Generators may be the best solution for the future power shortages that we would face.

Renewable Electricity and the Grid: The Challenge of Variability $85.57 Can renewable energy provide reliable power? Will it need extensive backup? The energy available from wind, waves, tides and the sun varies in ways that may not match variations in energy demand. Assimilating these fluctuations can affect the operation and economics of electricity networks, markets and the output of other forms of generation. Is this a significant problem, or can these new sources… |
