16.HowWindEnergyWorks

Harnessingthewindisoneofthecleanest,mostsustainablewaystogenerateelectricity.Windpowerproducesnotoxicemissionsandnoneoftheheattrappingemissionsthatcontributetoglobalwarming.This,andthefactthatwindpowerisoneofthemostabundantandincreasinglycost-competitiveenergyresources,makesitaviablealternativetothefossilfuelsthatharmourhealthandthreatentheenvironment.

TheHistoryofWindPower

Windpowerisbotholdandnew.FromthesailingshipsoftheancientGreeks,tothegrainmillsofpre-industrialHolland,tothelatesthigh-techwindturbinesrisingovertheMinnesotaprairie,humanshaveusedthepowerofthewindforthousandsofyears.

IntheUnitedStates,theoriginalheydayofwindwasbetween1870and1930,whenthousandsoffarmersacrossthecountryusedwindtopumpwater.Smallelectricwindturbines(叶轮机)wereusedinruralareasasfarbackasthe1920s,andprototypesoflargermachineswerebuiltinthe1940s.WhentheNewDealbroughtgrid-connectedelectricitytothecountryside,however,windmillslostout.

Interestinwindpowerwasrebornduringtheenergycrisesofthe1970s.ResearchbytheU.S.DepartmentofEnergy(DOE)inthe1970sfocusedonlargeturbinedesigns.Whilethese2-and3-MWmachinesprovedmostlyunsuccessfulatthetime,theydidprovidebasicresearchonbladedesignandengineeringprinciples.Intheearly1990s,improvementsintechnologyresultinginincreasedturbinereliabilityandlowercostsofproductionprovidedanotherboostforwinddevelopment.

Inotherpartsoftheworld,particularlyinEurope,windhashadmoreconsistent,long-termsupport.Asaresult,Europeancountriesarecurrentlycapableofmeetingmoreoftheirelectricitydemandsthroughwindpower.Denmark,forexample,alreadymeetsabout20percentofitselectricitydemandfromwindpower.WindgenerationalsoaccountsforaboutsixpercentofthenationalpowerneedsinSpain,andfivepercentinGermany.Seriouscommitmentstoreducingglobalwarmingemissions,localdevelopment,andthedeterminationtoavoidfuelimportshavebeentheprimarydriversofwindpowerdevelopmentinEurope.

TheWindResource

Thewindresourcehowfastitblows,howoften,andwhenplaysasignificantroleinitspowergenerationcost.Thepoweroutputfromawindturbinerisesasacubeofwindspeed.Inotherwords,ifwindspeeddoubles,thepoweroutputincreaseseighttimes.Therefore,higherspeedwindsaremoreeasilyandinexpensivelycaptured.

Windspeedsaredividedintosevenclasseswithclassonebeingthelowest,andclasssevenbeingthehighest.Awindresourceassessmentevaluatestheaveragewindspeedsaboveasectionofland(usually50metershigh),andassignsthatareaawindclass.Windturbinesoperateoveralimitedrangeofwindspeeds.Ifthewindistooslow,theywon'tbeabletoturn,andiftoofast,theyshutdowntoavoidbeingdamaged.Windspeedsinclassesthree(6.7-7.4meterspersecond(m/s))andabovearetypicallyneededtoeconomicallygeneratepower.Ideally,awindturbineshouldbematchedtothespeedandfrequencyoftheresourcetomaximizepowerproduction.
