In fact, during 2007 alone, the installed capacity of "on grid" small-wind residential generators almost tripled, from 1,300 kilowatts nationwide in 2006 to 3,000 kilowatts in 2007 (Clayton). According to Clayton, the number of residential installations increased from 400 to 1,200 units during 2007 as well. In response to this growing demand, a number of companies have started producing various wind turbine configurations in smaller versions for this market and the U.S. dominates the global market, exporting more than half of the production overseas (Clayton). One company's newest small turbine is the 1.8-kilowatt Skystream; one such model was recently installed former President George H.. Bush's home in Maine (Clayton). A representative Skystream wind turbine is shown in Figure 2 below adjacent to a solar-powered home.

But wind production is costly and India needs to find ways to produce wind energy at economical rates. For this reason, skilled technicians and designers are looking into the possibility of cost reduction "by increasing the size, tailoring of turbines for specific sites, exploring new structural dynamic concepts, developing custom generators, and power electronics, in addition to implementing modern control-system strategies." (Orosa, 2010)

It has been found that in order to reduce cost and produce energy more efficiently; some of the important factors to keep in mind would be "the power in the wind, the load factor, wind turbine -- axis orientation, the area required, and the grid connection." (Orosa, 2010)

Solutions are needed in troubled areas. For example when wind power is high, electricity generation is not an issue but when it's low, there may be extended periods of no production at all. A solution is needed for this which has…...

The growing use of wind farms has brought forth the problem of synchronizing the power supply with the periods of peak energy needs. Hawaii has been facing the problem of importing or exporting power to the companies nearby, which is a problem with regards to its aim of having 70% of its demands met by renewable sources. Storage batteries have been decided as the most efficient solution. They would allow harnessing energy at some of the windiest locations in Hawaii. A 30-megawatt wind farm is being planned in association with the Texas-based company, Xtreme Power. A 15-megawatt battery will be installed and controlled by computers to overcome fluctuations while having its frequency regulated at 60 cycles per second. This is capable of maintaining 10 megawatt-hours of energy to deliver power in peak periods. The expenses are estimated in the range of $130 million. There have been other projects going on in the country which utilize storage batteries. The Beacon Power project near Albany with 200 flywheels of a ton each, two projects run by PSEG Global in New Jersey and the Texas-based four-megawatt battery system project completed by the American Electric Power and MidAmerican Energy Holdings are some related endeavors.

Europe has come up with the solution for unexpected unavailability of alternative sources of energy. They have made plans for constructing a large scale electricity grid uniting the renewable resources available in different parts of northern Europe. France, Denmark, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Ireland, UK, Sweden, Belgium and Germany are the countries which have joined hands towards the fulfillment of the European Union's aim of dedicating renewable resources for 20% of their energy needs by 2010. Cables constructed under the sea will connect the solar arrays in Germany to the hydroelectric resources of Norway and tidal power stations in Belgium to the wind farms of Britain. Not only will this allow switching to another green power resource whenever needed, but this will also augment the European economy by creating several jobs. This project ranging across the English Channel, Baltic Sea and the Irish Sea is expected to cost about $20 to $40 billion. This endeavor is a positive step towards the European "supergrid" which would cover the solar farms in Africa and Central Europe. Gathering adequate finances, obtaining the requisite permissions and planning grid access regulations are some barriers which need to be overcome. However considering the abundant international support, the project is expected to complete by 2050.

Wind Energy
To what extent is wind power an effective from of renewable energy? The question is an important one when situated within the context of today's world of energy wars (as in the Middle East), air pollution causing cancer (as indicated by the World Health Organization), and more and more communities looking to "go green" all over the world. But what are the advantages and disadvantages of wind power? This essay will address this question and discuss just some of the ways that wind power can be utilized to change the way we live our lives.

As Sahin (2004) notes, wind energy is a "clean, practical, economical and environmentally friendly alternative" to energy created from other sources which damage the planet and ruin the health of individuals, such as the burning of fossil fuels (p. 501). Wind power is effective at cutting energy production costs, it has been utilized in industries…...

Integrating Schooling Fish Movement Into the Tree Wind Power Generators Model
Tree wind generator turbine

Structural loads in wind generator rotor blades have improved significantly as industrial generators have increased in proportions. This most impacts the style involving the inboard area of the blades, exactly where solid airfoil cross-sections have been essential to assist these strenuous loads (figure 1). Present inboard blades style endures efficiency losses from contending structural as well as aerodynamic specifications. Whilst several have created airfoils for its mid- as well as outboard parts of wind generator blades, fairly small work continues to be carried out to style blades by having an enhanced inboard area to be able to meet each structural as well as aerodynamic specifications. Current efforts within the improvement of the inboard area have analyzed flatback or perhaps blunt trailing-edge airfoils. Whilst a noticeable difference around conventional solid airfoils, flatback airfoils nonetheless experience from higher drag…...

Energy use is expanding and includes several different ways to harness power. From hydropower, to solar energy, to wind energy, the world is using the elements to create electricity for homes and businesses. While some favor solar power for use as the new kind of energy; businesses and those aiming to power many homes, opt for wind energy. Regardless of what is used, there is still a long way to go before people move away from traditional forms of energy like hydropower to more cost-effective ways like solar. I myself use hydropower or batteries to get through my days and understand the need to save energy and increase my power source options.
Most of the sources of energy I use are non-renewable except my re-chargeable solar batteries. These can be charged with sunlight and thus recharged from a renewable source. A second way I use energy each day is cooking. I…...

Florida, the United tates and the broader world in particular is facing an energy crisis. Indeed, it is a battle and one with many fronts. There are a number of good reasons out there to find alternative energy. They include the increasing world population, the pervasive use of fossil fuels, concerns about those fossil fuels running out, pollution associated with those fossil fuels and access to energy for everyone. Indeed, there is an increased need for energy that departs from the dirty energy sources like coal and petroleum. Beyond that, these new sources need to be sustainable. This grant proposal covers precisely such an energy source and it is a source that can greatly improve the quality of life and energy costs of people in the southwestern part of Florida much like it is already doing for people around the rest of the United tates and…...

This poem is a favorite of mine because it reminds me to slow down and appreciate everything. It does not take long nor does it take much to renew and revive and that is exactly what the poet wishes to communicate.

In Joy Harjo's "Remember," the poet uses imagery and personification to convey points of importance. Because the poet is encouraging someone to remember, she pulls images from experience that will be familiar. She begins by telling the reader to "Remember the sky" (Harjo 1) and to "know each of the star stories" (2). In addition, it is important to know the moon. The poet wants to use images the reader already knows and identifies with in order to stress the importance of connecting with the earth. The importance of remembering one's parents is also important because we are all connected. She tells the reader to remember the "earth whose skin…...

San Gorgonio ind Farm is one of three major wind farms that provide 95% of California's wind generating capacity (and 30% of the world's wind generating capacity). This amounts of 4258 million kilowatt hours of electricity, or 1.5% of the state's total electricity production (California Energy Commission, 2011). ind energy is considered to be one of the 'clean' energy sources, as opposed to fossil fuel production and nuclear energy production in particular. However, wind farms have their own drawbacks as well from an environmental perspective. ind farms can be devastating to the local environment as they have a massive footprint. This is especially troublesome in desert environments such as that occupied by San Gorgonio. There are also visual impacts, noise produced by rotor blades and potentially high degrees of avian/bat mortality (INDEIS, n.d.). This paper will analyze the benefits and impacts of the San Gorgonio ind Farm, in particular with…...

Against Nuclear Power
When considering the ever-changing and highly competitive global landscape of international relations and business today, all nations and their respective economies must be able to effectively globalize their energy operations in order to reach a greater potential resource base and sustain fiscal durability in the long-term. In accomplishing the aforementioned tasks, many nations have placed environmental considerations at the bottom of the ladder of priority. However, with countless new environmental initiatives cropping up each day, it behooves any and all government and big business personnel to gain a greater respect for the fragile environment in which we live. Terms like "emissions," "energy consumption," "fossil fuel depletion" and "carbon footprint" are increasingly becoming a part of the average global citizen's vocabulary. The future of all nations lies in the hands of those who seriously embrace the importance of such rhetoric. Accordingly, several energy-producing options have been considered and implemented…...

For one thing, while the deregulation of panish retail markets has driven interest among the nation's utilities to differentiate themselves and so win overall share, Iberdrola is already competing quite effectively on its renewable power proposition -- it is likely that most paniards who want to go green have already done so. hould Endesa require additional renewable capacity to meet demand, it also has the relatively captive resources of its recently announced corporate affiliate Enel Green Power to fall back on, allowing it to keep any value-added green power buying "in the family."

If cottish & outhern Energy finds it necessary to enter the fast-growing panish market, it may be easier to simply buy a small local utility and compete on the ground.

Nuclear Energy Introduction
Nuclear energy is an energy source that has zero emissions, propels our society into the future, and provides electricity around-the-clock. Nuclear energy comes from the splitting of atoms inside a reactor through a process known as fission to heat water into steam, turn a turbine, and generate electricity. Atoms are tiny particles that make up every object in the universe. These atoms have enormous energy in the bonds that hold them together. Nuclear fission will split the atoms into smaller atoms, in essence, releasing energy. Nuclear power plants make use of nuclear fission for the production of electricity. Nuclear energy is considered to be environmentally safe because it causes zero emissions and this is beneficial to the environment as it reduces the carbon footprint (Brook & Bradshaw, 2015). However, nuclear power plants do produce radioactive nuclear waste that must be stored safely to ensure there is no leakage. Nuclear…...

How Has Globalization Changed International Politics?IntroductionGlobalization is defined as an intensification of cross-border interactions and interdependence between countries (Oldemeinen, 2011). In other words, it is a process by which the social, political, and economic world order depends upon integration of states around the world. It is not, however, viewed as a positive development by all. As odrik (1998) points out, the process that has come to be called globalization is exposing a deep fault line between groups who have the skills and mobility to flourish in global markets and those who either dont have these advantages or perceive the expansion of unregulated markets as inimical to social stability and deeply held norms (p. 2). Globalization, therefore, is not necessarily viewed as a win-win for all by all. Indeed, the Brexit vote in the UK to leave the EU has been described as a referendum against globalization (Colantone & Stanig, 2016).Yet,…...
