Chapter 1. Wind energy. And wind power
electricity and wind.
The principle of wind power as an energy source is based on the movement of a turbine which in turn drives a generator (alternator) and the latter is responsible for producing the electrical phenomenon (electricity). As a foundation base should know that the wind has a kinetic energy due to the mass of moving air.
From all this, we deduce that the performance of our installation is going to come determined:
- The usable area that has our collection system (wind turbine or windmill).
- wind speed cubed.
When calculating the efficiency of our Installation is a very important fact to consider "Betz Limit" . This comes to say that in the event that a wind reached 100% the performance, this would be the 59.3% of the total power of the wind, as this is the theoretical maximum Betz.
wind machine types.
could define that there are two types of wind machines:
- The vertical axis (work by air resistance).
- the horizontal axis.
