The aim of the project is to Finance Build Own and Operate (FBOO) a 300 MW wind farm beside Lake Turkana. The wind farm will have 353 wind turbines each with a capacity […]
In 2018, a greater demand for renewable energy is encountered. Renewable energy sources are desirable as they do not have a finite limit or can be recycled, unlike fossil fuels. The main source of energy that has been used since the Industrial Revolution has been the burning of fossil fuels, which produces greenhouse gases. The emission of greenhouse gases has played a major part in human-caused climate change. As our energy demand grows and our climate continues to change rapidly, […]

Get help with your assignmentWind Energy Deployment in Texas and Colorado via Transmission Line Development The United States is heterogeneous in its renewable energy deployment, partially due to federalism, the jurisdictional split of federal and state government over land use. Texas, an energy production leader known for oil and gas production, is also recognized as the wind energy leader in the United States. Texas has over 20,000 MW of installed wind energy. A number of factors, including centralized decision-making, have led to Texas’s success […]
The energy system is a combination of all interconnected energy resources, methods of producing electricity and thermal energy. Transforming, distributing and using it, is also providing consumers with energy. A certain amount of electricity is required, and it must be available at that moment, otherwise an overvoltage will occur, and the network will fail. The main problem of our century is that we produce more than we can consume. Each technology that is available for people to use has its […]
Albeit today viewed as an elective energy source, wind power is perhaps the soonest type of energy collected by people. Wind is brought about by the lopsided warming of Earth’s surface, and its energy is comparable to about 2% of the sun based energy arriving at the planet. The measure of energy hypothetically accessible from wind is in this manner, exceptionally incredible, in spite of the fact that it would be neither down to earth, insightful, nor important to catch […]
Using wind as the primary source of energy you have to supply yourself with electricity is interesting to think about. After some research though, I have found that wind energy can be used in very effective ways. There are many ways that wind energy has been proven to be better than other forms of obtaining and using energy. Wind energy is a great source of energy that should be used more in the future. Here are some ways that using […]
Renewable energy is generated by a natural and unconventional source it only need to convert natural energy sources such as the sun, wind, and water into continual energy to facilitate their use in everyday life. Renewable energy is widely available in nature, unlike underground fossil fuels in limited forms like oil, gas, and coal and can be implemented from repeated use. The wind turbines are environmentally friendly and do not contaminate the air with carbon dioxide, sulfur, or hydrogen sulfide […]

Abstract Since the early 2000’s the installation of wind turbines has steadily increased. Before turbines are installed at a wind farm a power purchase agreement is worked out between the seller of the energy (usually the turbine manufacturer) and the buyer of the energy (a utility). These power purchase agreements generally last for 20 years. Once these 20 years are up a new power purchase agreement must be formed or more commonly the old turbines need to be decommissioned. Unfortunately, […]
ABSTRACT Globally, it is on record that wind energy is fast becoming a growing technology in energy generation. The usual erratic and epileptic power supply in Nigeria is no longer news. This, coupled with the interest in global warming must be a great concern for all and should activate our passion to key into strong demand for wind energy generation. With the attendant advantages of absence of harmful emissions, very clean energy, a great proportion is converted into electricity. Unfortunately, […]
The advancement in technology which led to industrialization over the last century has resulted in geometric increase in population. Breakthrough in the field of medicine and other technologies subsequently improved fertility, rise in life expectancy and rise in standard of living. The baby boom era saw an unprecedented rise in population from 2.1 billion to over 6.5 billion and the population is expected to rise to about 9 billion people by year 2050 (United nations,2006). This increase in population has […]
The wind is one of the oldest naturally occurring phenomenon on planet Earth, coming into existence at the beginning of time. Since its been here, there have been numerous amounts of uses for the wind, with an emphasis on wind power. Since the beginning of written history, and perhaps even before, it has been recorded that the wind has played a serious, impactful role in the history of mankind. For instance, wind energy propelled boats along the Nile as early […]
Wind strength (or wind power) indicates the system by way of which wind is used to create electricity. Wind generators convert the kinetic power in the wind into mechanical power. A generator can alter mechanical power into electricity. To obtain wind power, the kinetic energy of wind is used to create mechanical power. A generator converts this energy into electricity so that it may also be used for the gain of mankind. Recently, extraordinary types of electrical energy era have […]

The Antebellum Era in the American South lasted roughly seventy-five years, beginning in the late eighteenth century and ending with the outbreak of the Civil War. During this time, Southern society was deeply divided by wealth. Only 0.1 percent of whites owned more than 100 slaves, while 76.1 percent owned none at all. Even so, Southern whites were unified by a deep belief in white supremacy. The poor saw slavery (and racism) as their only source of prestige. They were […]

The growth of wind power in India is consistent. In 2002 the country’s Cumulative Annual Growth Rate is 24.1%. For investing in wind the government is adopting alternating approach. The government is also adopting R&D by putting up small demonstration projects at remote locations. The states where government had put up these demonstration projects in Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka. For wind power projects the main things required are huge capital investment, but low recurring cost. Generally in […]
Our daily energy needs are increasing every day at exponential rates, with an increase from 51,000TWh to 150,000TWh in the span of half a century. If this current trend continues with 80-85% of our total energy needs being derived from non-renewable resources such as coal and crude oil and with these said to run out in 110 years (coal) and 54 years (natural gas), we desperately need to look for new renewable sources of energy and save what we have […]
An Examination of Wind Energy Subsidies and the Potential Economic Consequences of their Removal Our purpose was to investigate the potential economic consequences should wind power lose various subsidies. The information found in this paper was collected from research articles found in various online journals. First, we investigated whether wind power was capable of profitability without subsidies, and if not, what subsidies were needed. Then we investigated the impact of wind energy deployment on job creation to date as well […]
For centuries mankind has evolved into the technologically savvy persons that we are today. With every step of progress, like sword to firearm or horse and plow to tractor, the advances of the past are replaced with new ones along the way. This shift from one thing to the next are seen as the end of eras and births of new ones. But what happens to the societies whose livelihoods are built upon the technologies that are being replaced? This […]
The key to improving the future is being able to understand and learn from the past. If the past is not studied, the likelihood of repeating the same mistakes over and over again is extremely high. Repeating the same basic mistakes, with new variations, that people many years ago made does not progress into the future, but rather keeps bringing the past back. For example, had the roaring twenties in the 1920’s not occured, people would not have learned of […]
County within the Sistan and Baluchestan Province of Iran. It is on the eastern border of Iran alongside Afghanistan. Here, around 132,000 live their everyday lives; however, it has greatly been affected by the rise of air pollution. The air has become contaminated by dust coming from the dry grounds. In the 1990s, an impactful drought occured Hamoon Lake, near Zabol. The lake unfortunately dried up due to the Persians changing the land from agricultural land to wasteland. The aggressive […]
The water was gentle as the waves waded through it, the sunset like orang mango and spicy red paints on the light and brittle canvas. The water was calm and soft relaxing gentle as the gentle water hits the itty bitty tickly toes. The water was so heavily , with enough force to destroy the land but then, the most innocent faces were the most ferocious thing to see . With tears of excitement scroll down her face, all she […]
Graduated Circle Map – The first map represents a view of all Great Lakes using a graduated circle mapping technique which depicts concentration clusters of occurrences, with numbers proportionate to circle size (bjelland et al, 2013, pg 23), the more incidents = larger circle. Both Rescues (red) and Fatalities (yellow) are shown for this map, the dispersion of larger circles gravitate to city/town locations favoring higher coastal population densities, suggesting population numbers as the largest contributing factor to Great Lakes […]
Data Interpretations The coastline is emergent. The beach is above ground due to tectonic uplift or a decrease in the elevation of sea level. Tides can erode the beach and take away sand. Sand can also be brought in and deposited in the berm during high tide. The longshore current moves parallel to the shore and brings sediment into and out of the beach system. Beach sand will move forward or backward depending on the direction of incoming waves. I […]
As the global population continues to grow exponentially there are many new stressors put on the environment, the producers, and the general public. These three categories are the pillars of sustainability, and without balance between them there is instability racing through and challenging everyone’s way of life. As we have seen throughout past years, there has not been balance and the divide between developed and developing nations continues to grow, which is one indication for potential environmental apocalypse or the […]
The Dust Bowl was a difficult time in the midwestern area of the United States. I am personally connected to the Dust Bowl, because my grandfather was living in Northwest Oklahoma when it had all begun. This event had severely destroyed many towns and nature around the affected area. Also, it had a great effect on the people who lived through it, because of housing, crops and terrain being destroyed. Many people had to move away from their homes because […]
In late August of 2005, a hurricane surfaced over the Bahamas, approximately 350 miles East of Miami. This hurricane was not only the largest, but the strongest to ever make landfall in the United States. When all was said and done, a little over a week later, there were roughly 1,836 lives taken. After impacting about 90,000 square miles, this hurricane was named Katrina. The most violent storms on Earth can also go by other names, including cyclones or typhoons, […]
It is quite obvious that aviation plays a major role in today’s society. Aviation services have become vital to the nation’s economy, national security, and to the safety of life and property. In particular, aviation weather services prove useful because they are used to support our national defense and humanitarian missions, transportation of people and commerce, hurricane reconnaissance, and emergency medical helicopter missions. Basically every flight ranging from the newest student pilot to shuttle missions require some sort of weather-related […]
