Positive and negative characteristics of wind energy

Wind energy is a type of energy in which fossil fuels play no role and do no harm to the environment. But this type of energy, like other energies, has many disadvantages in addition to many advantages. Join us in this article to explore the advantages and disadvantages of wind energy.

Wind power or wind energy

ind power or wind energy is the use of wind to provide mechanical power through wind turbines to turn electric generators for electrical power. Wind power is a popular sustainable, renewable source of power that has a much smaller impact on the environment compared to burning fossil fuels.

Wind farms consist of many individual wind turbines, which are connected to the electric power transmission network. Onshore wind is an inexpensive source of electric power, competitive with or in many places cheaper than coal or gas plants. Onshore wind farms have a greater visual impact on the landscape than other power stations, as they need to be spread over more land and need to be built away from dense population. Offshore wind is steadier and stronger than on land and offshore farms have less visual impact, but construction and maintenance costs are significantly higher. Small onshore wind farms can feed some energy into the grid or provide power to isolated off-grid locations.

Europe is already a world leader in the wind energy market, but the plans of the European Commission are even more ambitious. Offshore wind power generation is central to its plan for transition to a carbon-neutral economy by 2050. The goal to increase the offshore installed capacity from the current 20 GW up to 450 GW by 2050 are achievable, according to WindEurope, an association promoting the use of wind power on the continent. The key factors for success are the right spatial maritime planning along with investments in the offshore and onshore grid.

A wind turbine uses the energy in wind to convert mechanical rotation into electricity. The design of the turbine blades, including material, shape, size, and orientation, influences the efficiency of the wind turbine.

Solar Turbines is an energy solutions company that converts the energy stored in fuel to essentially do the same thing.

Wind Energy Advantages and Disadvantages

disadvantages including:

Wind turbines have effects on wildlife: have you ever thought of the number of birds and bats killed by the wind power facilities? Wind turbines can be dangerous as their rotor can kill the flying animals. Experts are now doing research and experimentations to know more about the possible effects that turbines have on the wildlife.

Wind turbines have effects on the beautiful nature scenes: some people are worried about the visual effects that wind turbines have on the beautiful scenery of nature. Giant wind turbines and the distraction they cause are one of the issues viewers are struggling with.

advantages including:

Wind activates the turbines and in comparison to burning fossil fuels, wind energy is far more eco-friendly for producing electricity. Countries such as the United States remaining dependent on fossil fuels and attempting to rely on the supply of fossil fuels leave their economy exposed to market volatility by increasing the price of fossil fuels. Wind power can free such countries from the figurative economic bondage of fossil fuels. As the turbines and their belongings have been installed, we will find that the cost of turbines maintenance in comparison to the amount of electricity generated is about nothing.

The power produced by runners competing in the London Marathon has been published on Energy Solutions News

New Post has been published on http://www.energybrokers.co.uk/news/energy-efficiency/the-power-produced-by-runners-competing-in-the-london-marathon

The power produced by runners competing in the London Marathon

The London Marathon is considered one of the biggest marathon events in the world, attracting runners of all ages and abilities on one course.

From Blackheath to Greenwich, across Tower Bridge and through the Isle of Dogs, the layout of the marathon route means that spectators can move between different points to cheer on participants.

How much energy does it take to run the London Marathon?

According to Common calculations, the average runner burns around 100 kilocalories per mile.

The London Marathon is a sweaty 26.2 miles, starting near Greenwich Park and ending at St James’ Park.

This totals to 2,620 kilocalories burned throughout the marathon.

With this total, we can then work out how much power is generated by converting this figure into a unit for measuring electricity.

By converting this figure to watts and then kilowatts, 2,620 kilocalories equates to 3.045 kWh.

The power of a single runner

Using the total of 3.045 kWh, a single runner completing the marathon could power:

A 40W energy-saving light bulb running for 76 hours straight

Charge a smart phone for an entire year

The same amount of power a 6kW wind turbine would generate in a windy location

  The power of the entire marathon

This year a record total of 253,930 people are expected to participate in the London Marathon.

If a single participant competing in the marathon uses an equivalent 3.045 kWh of energy, then the total amount of energy consumed by the entire marathon would be a mammoth 752.3 mWh.

An average house in the UK uses 4,600 kWh a year in electricity. This means the whole of the London Marathon could exert the equivalent energy needed to power 164 homes for a year.

Timings and what to expect this year:

The event will see Jemima Sumgong defend her title in the elite women’s race, while Kenenisa Bekele is among the star names in a stellar elite men’s field.

The 37th edition of the London Marathon is set to produce more Guinness World Records, and the race promises to be one of the best yet.

The marathon takes place on Sunday 23rd April, 2017, starting at Old Billingsgate at 08:40 – this consists of three-mile races for different youth categories.

The official start times for are as follows:

08:55 – London 2017 World Para Athletics Marathon World Cup in association with the Virgin Money London Marathon elite wheelchair race

09:00 – London 2017 World Para Athletics Marathon World Cup (ambulant athletes)

09:15 – Virgin Money London Marathon for Elite Women

10:00 – Elite Men and the British Athletics and England Athletics Championships for Men and Women and the Virgin Money London Marathon Mass Start

Here’s how other major events such as the Grand National and the Boat Race compare to the London Marathon in terms of power generation.
