Wind power
Wind energy is a renewable energy source that uses
the power of the wind to generate electricity. The main
means of obtaining it are wind turbines , “windmills” of
variable size that transform the kinetic energy of the
wind into mechanical energy with their blades.
Environmental benefits of wind energy.
• A wind farm requires only the wind to
operate.

• Wind is an inexhaustible resource and each


MW of wind installed annually prevents
issue of 2,900
tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, which
contributes significantly to
stop climate change.

• Wind farms are easy to dismantle, leaving


the land where a wind farm once existed practically intact at the end of its life
cycle.

P It is indigenous energy: this allows us to promote energy independence, since,


although there are countries that have a higher wind index, it can be found all over the
world. This allows the creation of an indigenous energy market and eliminates the
need to import energy from other economies.

> Aquifer-friendly energy: due to the absence of any type of contaminating waste, it
does not alter the composition of the water in the area, which is a fundamental
element when it comes to protecting local water reserves and the ecosystems linked
to them.

> It is compatible with other activities such as agriculture and livestock, which means
that it does not have a negative impact on the local economy as it does not require
labor specialization in the area. This allows the areas in which it is installed to continue
developing its activity. traditional at the same time
increase their activity thanks to wind energy.
Social impact of the wind industry in
Mexico.
• Wind energy has a huge social impact. The environmental benefits of this
technology play an important role, since by generating electrical energy from
clean energy sources, they achieve a significant reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions associated with electrical generation.
• Likewise, the installation of wind farms in rural areas of the country, where
the main economic activities are agriculture and livestock, generates
additional income for the owners of the land used, without affecting their
traditional activity.
• The installation of wind farms generates jobs and an economic impact in the
regions in which it is developed, motivated both by the increase in income of
a large number of families and by the Social Responsibility projects of
companies.
Economic benefits of wind energy.

• Wind energy is currently one of the most competitive renewable


sources. Despite its high investment costs, operating costs are very low,
compared to those related to conventional technologies.

What happens if the wind stops blowing?
Before building or locating a wind farm, studies of the wind resource
are carried out to establish the amount of energy it can produce.
During some hours of the day and at certain times of the year, it is
possible that wind turbines stop due to lack of wind and even, in some
cases, due to the presence of winds with speeds greater than those
they can operate. However, current technology makes it possible to
predict the production of a park quite accurately several days in
advance.
lifespan of a wind turbine
• Wind turbines have a useful life between 20 and 25 years. This may
vary according to the wind conditions of the site, its correct operation
and the maintenance that is given during this time.
Time required to build a wind farm.

The construction of a wind farm depends largely on the capacity to be


installed. Likewise, other factors intervene such as the orography of the
location, the timing of the wind, the distance to the interconnection
point, etc. On average, it can be considered that a medium or large-
sized park could be built in a period of 12 to 18 months, once all the
previous studies and necessary procedures have been completed. From
the selection of the site to the commissioning of the wind farm,
approximately 4 years are required.

Wind energy is intermittent Batteries have been developed that allow the electricity
produced to be stored

Wind farms generate little electricity Wind farms generate a lot of electricity -Today almost 6% of
electricity is generated with wind turbines, equivalent to
satisfying more than a million Mexicans

Wind farms do not pollute


Wind farms pollute - Aero generators work with the force of the wind and their
internal mechanism uses oil in quantities that respect the
environment
conclusion
Coming to the conclusion we realize that this is not a very well-known source
since it is a bit difficult to prove.
It is an inexhaustible source of energy since it is an energy that is obtained
through the wind from different means, be it airports or windmills, this energy has
very good benefits such as stopping the depletion of fossil fuels, helping to avoid
climate change, since it This gives rise to greenhouse emissions that cause
global warming.
Wind energy has a good social impact as well as an economic impact since this
source of renewable energy is one of the most competitive sources despite its
high investment costs.
