Q: How does wind power help me to save energy?

A: Wind is one of the most sustainable sources of energy available.
Creating energy from wind is environmentally sound, very clean, and uses an inexhaustible resource. Wind currents are driven by a variety of factors—terrain, water bodies, and vegetation—but the driving force behind wind currents on the planet is the sun’s uneven heating.

Q: How does the equipments work?

A: Conversion of wind energy is achieved through the use of wind turbines. As the wind blows, a low pressure air pocket forms on the downside of the wind turbine’s blades. Inside the turbine is a rotor, which turns alongside the blades. Connected to the rotor is a power generator which delivers the electricity.

Q: Are all the wind turbines the same?

A: Two types wind turbines are available: horizontal axis and vertical axis. Horizontal axis turbines have emerged as the industry’s dominant design. Two-blade horizontal axis turbines spin downward, while three-blade axis turbines spin upward. The size of the turbine dictates its power
generation capability.

Q: Will wind power take care of all my electricity needs?

A: In the majority of residential applications, wind turbines are used to supplement power generated by other sources, typically power supplied by utility grids. A cut-in speed defines when the wind turbine will cease to provide power and the utility company will cut-in to supply it. Above the cut-in speed, the wind turbine generates power and grid-supplied
energy is reduced.
