Hassaam Shoaib Rimaz Malik
What is wind energy?
energy that is harnessed by wind turbines.
converted at the wind farm.
a cleaner form of energy than fossil fueled energy.
How is it processed? natural wind blows, turbine spins, rotor turns. The rotor turns a shaft, uses magnetic field
to convert wind energy. Once converted, travels to the transformer
and gets powered into electricity, then ready to use.

Advantages of wind energy It is eco-friendly.
Less space for one wind farm.

It is clean electricity
Disadvantages of wind energy It gives less energy.
Too much noise pollution.
It generates slower energy.
To get enough energy, you have to live on the coast which is expensive.
Wind itself is undependable.
It only runs for 18 hours a day
Facts 300 kilowatt wind turbines can power
3000 100 watt light bulbs. California creates 11% of wind global
electricity wise. One small wind turbine can power one
school or home. Wind energy use is increasing by 30%
globally.
More facts Denmark, Germany, and California are
the main suppliers of wind power.
Wind energy is a form of solar energy.
Wind energy produces 20% of energy.
Wind energy saves you electricity bills.
