    Wind Energy: Bangui Bay Wind Farm in Ilocos Norte

    Uploaded by

    Mich Rose Jov
    Wind power harnesses the kinetic energy of wind to generate electricity and has been utilized for thousands of years, starting with sail boats. Modern utility-scale wind power began in the 1980s and wind turbines are now used in wind farms both on land and offshore to generate large amounts of electricity. While wind power has advantages of being clean and renewable, disadvantages include noise pollution and potential impacts on wildlife from turbine blades. The largest wind farm in Southeast Asia is the 150 MW Burgos Wind Farm in the Philippines.

    Wind
    • Wind is caused by air flowing
    from high pressure to low
    pressure.
    • Wind is one way that the
    atmosphere moves excess heat
    away from the surface of the Earth
    or from warm regions(tropics) to
    cooler regions. Retrieved from: http://1000awesomethings.com/
    History of Wind Power
    • Wind power has been utilized
    for thousands of years,
    starting with the invention of
    sail boats as the first and
    most obvious example of
    making use of wind energy.
    Retrieved from: www.library.wisc.edu
    History of Wind Power
    • The earliest known wind
    powered grain mills and
    water pumps were used by
    the Persians in A.D. 500-
    900 and by the Chinese in
    A.D. 1200. Retrieved from: www.your-solar-energy-home
    What is Wind Power?
    • Wind power is produced by using
    wind generators to harness the
    kinetic energy of wind.
    • It is gaining worldwide popularity
    as a large scale energy source,
    although it still only provides less
    than one percent of global energy
    consumption. Retrieved from: theairshed.com
    Wind Turbine
    • used to generate electricity
    from the kinetic power of the
    wind
    • used to generate large amounts
    of electricity in wind farms
    both onshore and offshore
    Retrieved from: www.protectourcommunities.com
    Wind Farm
    • group of wind turbines in
    the same location used to
    produce electricity

    Retrieved from: www.calgaret.com


    Efficiency of Wind Power
    A modern wind turbine produces
    electricity 70-85% of the time, but it generates
    different outputs depending on the wind
    speed.
    Advantages of Wind Power
    • clean fuel source
    • domestic source of energy
    • cost effective
    • can be built on existing farms or ranches
    Disadvantages of Wind Power
    • Turbines may cause noise and aesthetic pollution.
    • Turbine blades may damage local wildlife.
    • Good wind sites are often located in remote locations, far
    from cities where the electricity is needed.
    • Wind resource development may not be the most
    profitable use of the land.
    Wind Farm in the Philippines
    Burgos Wind Farm
    Capacity: 150 MW
    Location: San Lorenzo, Guimaras
    Year Commissioned: 2014

    “Largest Wind Farm in Southeast


    Asia”
