Frequently Asked Questions About Wind Turbines Faq
If you are interested in installing a Wind Turbine and you want to produce your own energy, then there must be many questions in your mind related different matters about the Wind Turbines. Some of the question that are very frequently asked by many people are listed here with there appropriate answers.

HOW WIND ACTS AS ENERGY?

Wind energy actually comes from the force with which wind strikes any object. When the wind strikes the Rotor blades, they start rotating and convert this energy into electricity. The amount of electricity produced depends upon the force of the wind which strikes the rotor blades.

WHAT WILL BE THE TOTAL COST ON WIND TURBINE?

The cost of a wind turbine depends upon the size of the desired model. Different places like home, office, farms and factories use different amount of energy so wind turbines of different sizes are installed as required. A 10kW coemi model costs around lb35950, and a 50kW costs around lb169,950. The bases and the cable run are not included in this cost.

HOW IS WIND USED AS A USABLE ENERGY?

Wind energy can be directly used as a source of electricity to operate different electrical appliances. And if an excess amount of energy is produced by the wind turbines, it can be transferred to a electric grid near by. And you can also store the energy in the batteries so that it can be used at any time when no other source of electricity is available.

HOW DO WIND TURBINES PRODUCE ELECTRICITY?

The rotor blades of the turbine are attached to a generator. When the blades are rotated with the force of wind, then spin a shaft in the generator and thus electricity is produced.

WHICH COMPANIES PRODUCE WIND TURBINES?

There are various companies in the market who are specialist in making the wind turbines. One of them is Coemi, who are making and installing wind turbines for the last 3 years and they have a good reputation in the market. Coemi ensures the quality of their products and also guarantee the future maintenance of the wind turbine that they sold to any customer.

HOW IS THE WIND ENERGY, A BETTER OPTION?

As no fossil fuels are required in this case, so the cost of these fuels is no longer an issue. And no use of fuel means, less CO2 in the atmosphere. Thus a safe and healthy environment can be guaranteed through the use of wind energy. In this way, a company who supports the wind energy, do a noble cause and this is a very good way of supporting a government for a CO2 free environment. And if a person produces extra amount of energy through wind, they can get money by sending this energy to the grid stations.

HOW EFFICIENT CAN WIND TURBINES BE IN PRODUCING ENERGY?

According to the Betz limit theory, a wind turbine can extract about 60% energy of the total provided by the wind. But when we talk about the Coemi-Skywing turbines, they are directly attached to the generators or we can say that they are direct grid synchronous turbines, so they can produced about 85% energy because they don't need any inverter for the whole energy conversion process. The efficiency of the energy produced is dependent upon various things. Mainly they are dependent upon the average wind speed of that is forcing the blades to rotate and also the direction of the wind which strikes these blades. So if you want to get the maximum amount of energy, then install the wind turbine in a plain area where there is no obstacle in the smooth flow of the wind.
