Wind Power Plant Electricity

Lately the world oil prices to soar and not balanced with the production of oil and gas. Petroleum production is increasingly declining days of its availability, while the number of needs of oil & gas ever-increasing. It is unfortunate because up to this point has not yet generated alternative energy substitute for optimal. Where as energy needs is urgent. The option to diversify energy, also less successful. Various reasons expressed: cost of exploration and exploitation of the huge funds spent, limitations technology and human resources owned is the reason that always sounded.

Wind is one of the alternative energy sources that are not impossible to develop. One program that is a priority in the development of alternative energy sources as wind is wind potential mapping.

The most well and allow to created a wind turbine is an area of coastal and mountainous regions that has the potential of wind all day.

Wind energy potential in general speed of more than 5 meters per second (m/s). Wind speeds 4 m/s-5 m/s is of medium and is able to generate electricity for a capacity of 10-100 KW.

Working principle of the use of the wind is with windmills. It is the same with the watermills, the mill will driven by the wind and rotate the turbine. Turbine specifically designed to have a high round will run the generator of electricity, then the electricity generated is distributed to the substation-electricity substation through cable network. Large in scale, wind turbines have been able to meet the needs of electricity in bulk.

Same is the case with solar panels, wind turbines to meet the needs of electricity if large amounts. It takes place as the fields of wind turbines. But for small needs such as home (local) stairs, wind turbines can be used independently, of course in a smaller size.

However, behind the wind as alternative energy has various obstacles. These barriers include: turbine the wind is very dependent on the weather in an area, sometimes the winds blow in gusts and sometimes just quietly. 

Therefore in every fields of wind turbines, has a storage battery that is used when the wind conditions are not sufficient. The area is best for established wind turbine is a beach area and mountainous regions. Both this area does have sufficient wind gusts of nearly all year round. Coastal areas have the onshore winds and the sea breeze for 24 hours, especially in case of storms, more toned and round turbine electricity generated

more and more.

In addition to hanging with the location of the region, wind turbine requires land that is quite extensive in order to spread tool is a lot. The more the number of wind turbines, then the greater the power of produce.
