ABOUT WIND POWER

Wind is a form of solar energy. Winds are caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun, the irregularities of the earth’s surface, and rotation of the earth. Wind flow patterns are modified by the earth’s terrain, bodies of water, and vegetation. Humans use this wind flow, or motion energy, for many purposes: sailing, flying a kite, and even generating electricity.

The terms wind energy or wind power describe the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water) or a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity.

So how do wind turbines make electricity? Simply stated, a wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan, wind turbines use wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity.

Types of Wind Turbines Modern wind turbines fall into two basic groups: the horizontal-axis variety, as shown in the photo, and the vertical-axis design, like the eggbeater-style Darrieus model, named after its French inventor.

Horizontal-axis wind turbines typically either have two or three blades. These three-bladed wind turbines are operated “upwind,” with the blades facing into the wind.

Sizes of Wind Turbines Utility-scale turbines range in size from 100 kilowatts to as large as several megawatts. Larger turbines are grouped together into wind farms, which provide bulk power to the electrical grid.

Single small turbines, below 100 kilowatts, are used for homes, telecommunications dishes, or water pumping. Small turbines are sometimes used in connection with diesel generators, batteries, and photovoltaic systems. These systems are called hybrid wind systems and are typically used in remote, off-grid locations, where a connection to the utility grid is not available.

Solar Energy: It’s Not About Solar Panels Only

Wanting to save energy is always a good idea. Indeed, electricity generation, according to the methods of production, can be added to the list of factors that deplete the planet. The financial aspect is also taken into account, and electricity prices, like most other energy sources (especially fossil fuels like oil, which we derive most of our fuels) end to always increase.

In response, more and more solutions are emerging; the most famous one is that of the purchase of photovoltaic panels. But even if subsidies are available to assist in this investment, this is an option that is only available to those who own a home that enables the installation of such panels. Tenants, living in apartments or whose roof exposure is not appropriate will not benefit. Fortunately, alternatives exist for those who cannot afford a photovoltaic kit.

The wind generator is a particular alternative for the proud owners of large gardens, but not only! Indeed, there are now small models that can be installed on the house roof to produce at least part of the electricity consumed by the household. Newer models are more productive while being quieter, and allow for constant use in particularly windy areas, even if they are not sunny.

But for those who cannot afford to invest in such facilities, there are still alternatives to save electricity on a daily basis. Ideas abound, and manufacturers creativity and competition offered u really ingenious gadgets and practices. For example, a solar battery, which is recharged by placing it directly in the sunlight, will charge many electronic devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players or even, for a little more powerful model, your laptop. By the same principle, you will also find battery chargers or laptops equipped by a solar panel. That said, the system of the outer solar battery is preferable since a single battery allows you to charge many devices as long as you have the necessary adapters. A solar backpack can also fulfill this role.

Besides photovoltaic electricity generation, there are other ways to utilize solar energy, for example by using solar thermal panels, which can heat water in your home, or devices like the solar cooker allowing you to cook entire meals with nothing but solar energy, for a much healthier food than the one you can get with a barbecue, well known for introducing harmful elements in food!

8th March 2012 Solar Energy: The “Grandmothers” Who Decided To Illuminate 600 Households

After spending six months in India where they received training on solar energy techniques and technologies, “grandmothers” have decided to put their talents into local development. Thus on 1 March 2012, they launched the lighting projects of 600 households with solar energy. It was in the village of boala, about fifty miles of Kaya, in the Namentenga province.

The purpose of these six projects, costing a total of 375 million CFA francs, is to allow each willing household to supply solar energy for their fixed lamp, solar light lantern and a socket (for charging mobile phones) etc.., according to the Minister of the Environment and Sustainable Development, Jean Kouldiaty, head of the launching ceremony. The “grandmothers” union formed, will have to install and manage small units of solar energy in their villages while maintenance costs of solar equipment will be managed by communities. “This training allows these women to become role models for youth in the community, both girls and boys”. Added the Minister for Kouldiaty, “My wish is to see this event as a springboard to strengthen state efforts and technical and financial partners and promoting the use of alternative energy by creating a training in solar energy at schools.”

For Pascal Karorero, the Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Burkina Faso, “this initiative is of particular interest for our organization and the UN.” He said the lighting of 600 rural households contribute to the preservation of biological diversity, children’s education, promotion of income generating activities and reducing the rural exodus. “The initiative also aims to achieve three interrelated goals for 2030 which are universal access to modern energy services and doubling the rate of improvement of energy efficiency and the share of renewable energy in the energy mix, “said Mr. Karorero.

8th March 2012 The First World Solar Tour Is About To Be Concluded

“The catamaran of 35 meters long, covered with 540 m2 of high efficiency solar panels, has just passed without incident the perilous Gulf of Aden,” said Raphael Domjan, the project proponent on Wednesday.

The crossing of the area marked by many acts of piracy took place under the protection of six men who were “the guardian angels of our adventure for over a month,” added eco-adventurer in a Swiss statement.

The journey of 50 000+ km, which took the solar boat of Monaco to Miami, Cancun, Noumea and Brisbane is reaching its “last mile” and is scheduled to stop for some time in Egypt before crossing the Suez Canal to go back Monaco , its starting point, more than a year and a half after its departure.

“To celebrate the success of this unique project, a weekend of festivities is organized on the 4, 5 and 6 May at Port Hercule in Monaco,” highlighted the Planet Solar project sponsors.

The purpose of this world tour with stops is to «show that we have technologies” capable of quitting relying on kerosene, Swiss adventurer had indicated during a visit to Paris in June 2011. “These are technologies that anyone can we buy in the supermarket. It has everything you need to change.”

8th March 2012 A Solar Sculpture By Deedee Morrison Is Installed In Tennessee

The city of Chattanooga, Tenn., has installed in its Renaissance Park Seed-pod, a sculpture by Deedee Morrison.

Composed of recycled aluminum industry, laser cut, this sculpture is connected to a solar panel. It lights up at night, using the solar energy captured by the panel during the day. Taking the form of a book placed in an elevated circular, the sculpture displays its “pages” of engravings representing stylized light seeds inspired by illustrations of German biologist Ernst Haeckel. The sculpture does not consume the equivalent of an incandescent bulb of 110 watts.

The sculptor Deedee Morrison specializes in this type of light sculptures using solar energy. Taking inspiration from various aesthetic – Eastern, geometric or, as in Chattanooga, organic – it multiplies the state commissions to United States, occurring in the urban landscape of Canton (Michigan) New Orleans (Louisiana) Key West (Florida), or Grand Junction (Colorado).

The city of Chattanooga, Tennessee’s fourth largest city by population of around 150,000 inhabitants – is recognized as a pioneer city in the United States in the field of awareness of environmental protection and the fight against industrial pollution.

Charging Your Tablet Using Solar Energy Is Possible!

The idea is simple: you’re not at home, you are not in the office, you are not in a civilized place, you are camping, hiking, or in a race to circumnavigate the world…. Yes, but now, how to communicate with others if you cannot charge your smartphone, tablet or even your favorite game console (PSVita)?

The solution lies in a boundless energy: solar energy. The whole question is therefore in our (us as humans) ability to capture, to store and distribute it in the form of more conventional energy, electrical energy.

Now it’s pinnacle with Solariflex marketing of several products including flexible solar panels of different sizes: the “Power 6 USB” allows you to recharge small devices such as smartphones and to power equipment electrical appliances.

The “USB 6 Power” can charge tablets such as iPads or recharge a small battery of 4400 mAh (which serves as storage) that will allow you to recharge your iPad at the right time.

Charge Your iPhone With This Solar Powered Dock!

The A-Solar Company has a new dock for iPhone, the Power Dock, which recharges the phone via USB or externally by solar energy.

The Power Dock, presented by A-Solar, allows the recharging of the Apple phone, iPhone, via two distinct processes. The first is via a USB connection to a computer. The technique is classical. But outside, the most environment friendly solution, the Power Dock can also fill the phone’s battery using solar energy.

The accessory is equipped with photovoltaic cells and a battery of 6000 mAh, able to fully charge the iPhone. The Power Dock, meanwhile, charges your iPhone in four hours, when connected to a computer and between 12 and 16 hours if it is placed face to natural light. A LED indicator indicates if the Power Dock Battery is fully charged or not, says Ubergizmo.

It also can, while charging, synchronize the contents deposited on iTunes, which offers the same time a mean that prevents the iPhone from being placed anywhere and getting unfortunate scratches.

The Power Dock is available at A-Solar for a suggested retail price of 79 euros (approx. $110). The accessory is manufactured on demand and will arrive within two to three weeks.
