Friends, today in this article we will learn about the advantages and disadvantages of wind energy. I am going to give you information about all these in a very good way. So let’s start.
The following are the advantages and disadvantages of wind energy:
Advantages
- Mechanical energy can be generated from wind energy and that mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. Hence, this energy is helpful in producing electricity.
- Wind energy does not cause any kind of environmental pollution.
- Wind energy is used to extract water from wells and to grind wheat in the form of windmills. Wind energy is also used for irrigation and in oil mills.
- Wind energy is an unconventional and never-ending source.
- The cost of production of wind energy is low.
Disadvantages
- Wind energy can be used only in places where the wind blows at a constant speed throughout the year.
- This requires an additional gear box to control the speed of the rod of the wind machine.
- The equipment installed to generate wind energy has more rotating parts. Hence, it requires more repairs from time to time.
4. There is a possibility of equipment producing wind energy getting destroyed due to friction.
