ℹ️ Additional Facts:
Wind power or wind energy is the use of wind to provide mechanical power through wind turbines to turn electric generators for electrical power. In short words wind power to generate electricity. Wind power is a popular sustainable, renewable source of power that has a much smaller impact on the environment compared to burning fossil fuels.
Wind farms consist of many individual wind turbines, which are connected to the electric power transmission network. Onshore wind is an inexpensive source of electric power, competitive with or in many places cheaper than coal or gas plants. Onshore wind farms have a greater visual impact on the landscape than other power stations, as they need to be spread over more land and need to be built away from dense population. Offshore wind is steadier and stronger than on land and offshore farms have less visual impact, but construction and maintenance costs are significantly higher. Small onshore wind farms can feed some energy into the grid or provide power to isolated off-grid locations.
The wind is an intermittent energy source, which cannot be dispatched on demand. Locally, it gives variable power, which is consistent from year to year but varies greatly over shorter time scales. Therefore, it must be used together with other power sources to give a reliable supply. Power-management techniques such as having dispatchable power sources (often gas-fired power plant or hydroelectric power), excess capacity, geographically distributed turbines, exporting and importing power to neighboring areas, energy storage, reducing demand when wind production is low, are used to overcome these problems. As the proportion of wind power in a region increases the grid may need to be upgraded. Weather forecasting permits the electric-power network to be readied for the predictable variations in production that occur.
Wind supplies about 5% of worldwide electrical generation, with global installed wind power capacity of about 600 gigawatts (GW). - Wikipedia
The megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy equal to 1000 kilowatt-hour (kWh). The kWh is commonly used as a billing unit for energy delivered to consumers by electric utilities. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average U.S. residential customer uses approximately 909 KWh per month of energy, or around 10,909 KWh per year. - Wikipedia
