Wind Generators and Just How they Work

Article Category: Computers and Technology

Author Name: Jared Sanders

Going green is the only way to protect future life on this planet. Smaller living organisms face extinction due to their natural habitats being destroyed by man. Sources of energy that do not deplete natural resources have to be made mandatory for use. Wind energy by the use of wind turbines can be tapped into, lessening the carbon footprint left behind by other carcinogenic sources of energy.

The windmill is the best example of a wind turbine. Every part of the windmill plays a crucial role in its functioning. A tower is erected, the height of which depends on the area it'll be used in. If the landscape is bleak then there is less obstruction in using the air for energy. The speed of the wind can be affected if the air gets deflected due to anything in its path.

Rotors or blades (usually three) provide a drag to the force of the wind. The impact of the blowing air on the blades decides the speed at which the blades will rotate. The resistance offered by the blades, especially made at a forty five degree angle, is measured and calculated based on formulae to arrive at how much energy can be produced.

These blades use a shaft fixed to a gearbox to transmit the air energy to a generator. These features differ from those used in a car where the gearbox is used to change speeds of the vehicle, and the clutch is engaged to make the change in speeds smooth and easy. The generator uses a motor to convert the kinetic wind energy into electricity.

The converted kinetic energy is sent to a grid or a storage unit. It is released from here by means of cables to units utilizing this energy. If any stage has a flaw in its functioning, this is reflected through into a monitoring system. Automatic controls ensure that there are no accidents due to under or over functioning of the parts.

Since windmills are largely left on their own with no active monitoring on a day to day basis unlike other power generating sources, it should be ensured that all parts for operation of the windmill are of the highest quality. Safety systems should be in place so that blowing air over speeds don't damage the functioning of the generator or blades.

Built in sensors provide a record of the functioning so that troubleshooting can be done. Also, the blades have to be examined for residues. Any change in the weight on the blades, even due to rain, can affect its optimal functioning.

Applying the same principle used in the working of windmills, homeowners now have the option of assembling a kit to use on their roof tops. The energy generated can fulfil a family's needs for power as an energy source for running appliances such as lights in the house. This energy can even be stored for use during seasons when there is not much wind.
