Hey Guys, 

We asked our interview and collaboration partners if we could use a photo of them for our project, and they all said no.
We as a team have also decided not to publish a photo of ourselves in order to protect our privacy.

We hope you understand that! 

Greetings

[Title] wind power in the local area

Picture of wind turbines on the swiss mountains 

[Short Intro: Research question] (short audio) - How we found our topic and about what we want to do our research. 

[Relation to the Project - what did you know before and what new treasure of experience did you gain?] We already knew, that is a good renewable resource. Now we learned a lot more about wind power.

[Main body]

[Methodology] We researched on the topic and we had an interview with a scientific assistant from an institute for energy power and a local person.

[Media Creation] We have a short audio and we produced an explanotory video.

[Experience, Reflection] We are surprised what an impact wind power has in Switzerland.

Vision & Imagination to project: Wind Power

27. February 2023 Luisa-Ndue Wind power (0)

Our thoughts about the project:

 

  • I would like to know more about wind power
  • Interesting would be to know how turbines work
  • Is wind power good for switzerland?
  • How long it takes to make enough energy to run a tv?
  • How heavy is a turbine?
  • Is it faster to make energy from turbines or from solar penals?

6. February 2023 Luisa-Ndue _M20a Zurich Wetzikon, Wind power (0)

Answer by ChatGPT:

  1. Wind Turbine: A device that converts the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy.

  2. Wind Farm: A collection of multiple wind turbines that are connected to a power grid.

  3. Blade: The rotating part of a wind turbine that captures the kinetic energy of the wind.

  4. Rotor: The rotating system of a wind turbine that includes the blades and the hub.

  5. Hub: The center part of a wind turbine rotor where the blades are attached.

  6. Nacelle: The housing that contains the generator, gearbox, and other components of a wind turbine.

  7. Generator: The component that converts the kinetic energy of the rotor into electrical energy.

  8. Wind Speed: The velocity of the wind that impacts the rotor blades of a wind turbine.

  9. Wind Direction: The direction from which the wind is blowing.

  10. Power Output: The amount of electrical energy generated by a wind turbine, typically measured in kilowatts (kW) or megawatts (MW).
