energy

A device that converts the winds knetic energy into electricity.

energy

A preventative maintenance process to enhance the operation and longevity of machinery.

energy

Wind turbine design is the process of defining the form and specifications of a wind turbine to extract energy from the wind.

energy

Adjusting the weight and weight distribution through 2 axes so that all blades are the same.

energy

The aerodynamic surface that catches the wind.

energy

The shape and dimensions of the blades of the wind turbine are determined by the aerodynamic performance required to efficiently extract energy from the wind, and by the strength required to resist the forces on the blade.

energy

A wind tree contains "leaves" that act as mini wind-turbines to generate electricity.

energy

In meteorology, wind speed, or wind flow speed, is a fundamental atmospheric quantity caused by air moving from high to low pressure, usually due to changes in temperature.

energy

Wind shear (or windshear), sometimes referred to as wind gradient, is a difference in wind speed or direction over a relatively short distance in the atmosphere.

energy

A turbulent and/or low-wind-speed region downwind of an object such as a buildings or trees.

energy

A wind rose is a graphic tool used by meteorologists to give a succinct view of how wind speed and direction are typically distributed at a particular location.

energy

A process to estimate the future energy production of a wind farm.

energy

A wind profiler is a type of weather observing equipment that uses radar or sound waves (SODAR) to detect the wind speed and direction at various elevations above the ground.

energy

The wind profile power law is a relationship between the wind speeds at one height, and those at another.

energy

The wind power industry is involved with the design, manufacture, construction, and maintenance of wind turbines.

energy

A wind power forecast corresponds to an estimate of the expected production of one or more wind turbines (referred to as a wind farm) in the near future.

energy

A quantitative measure of wind energy available at any location.

energy

Wind power or wind energy is the use of wind to provide mechanical power through wind turbines to turn electric generators for electrical power.

energy

A structural trap is a type of geological trap that forms as a result of changes in the structure of the subsurface, due to tectonic, diapiric, gravitational and compactional processes.

energy

Structural engineering is a sub-discipline of civil engineering in which structural engineers are trained to design the 'bones and muscles' that create the form and shape of man-made structures.
