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?

What are the 10 most important terms regarding wind power?

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).
