WIND
The Power of Wind: A Sustainable Energy Choice. Harnessing the energy of the wind offers a sustainable and eco-friendly power solution.
Here's why it's an attractive choice:
-
Clean & Infinite: Unlike fossil fuels, wind is an endless source that emits zero greenhouse gases.
-
Cost-Efficient: Advances in technology and scale have made wind energy competitively priced.
-
Land-Friendly: Wind farms can coexist with agriculture, allowing dual land productivity.
-
Promotes Independence: Localized wind energy reduces reliance on imported fuels and stabilizes prices.
-
Scalable: From community projects to large-scale farms, wind energy can be tailored to specific needs.
​
For those with the right land and wind resources, wind energy is a clear, economically sound, and environmentally friendly choice. With SunTerra Energy Solutions, let's capture the wind's potential for a brighter tomorrow.
Engineering Marvels:
-
Wind turbines soar up to 200 meters with individual rotor blades stretching 60 meters.
-
The world's largest wind turbine, located in Hawaii, stands as tall as a 20-story building with blades as lengthy as a football field.
Material & Design:
-
Sturdy towers crafted from steel and concrete hold the turbines.
-
Turbine blades are forged from fiberglass, reinforced polyester, or wood epoxy, finished in matte to minimize reflected glare.
Performance Metrics:
-
Operational wind speed range: 13km/h to 90km/h.
-
A single turbine, with 2.5-3MW capacity, can generate over 6 million kWh annually.
-
Blades maintain a steady rotation of 15 to 20 RPM.
-
Lifespan: Typically, wind turbines last between 20 to 25 years, operating up to 120,000 hours during this period.​
Wind Turbine Operation 101:
-
Activation occurs at a wind speed of around 4 meters/second, with blades spinning typically between 14 to 29 RPM to commence electricity generation.
-
Generation output rises with wind speed.
-
At the "rated wind speed" (typically 12-13 meters/second), turbines generate at their maximum capacity (e.g., a 2.3MW turbine will produce 2.3MW).
-
Beyond this, the output remains consistent until the wind speed hits the "cut-out" threshold (around 25 meters/second).
-
At the cut-out speed, turbines deploy tip-brakes, use the disk brake, stopping the blades swiftly, then pivot 90 degrees to "park."
-
With wind speed dropping below the cut-out, turbines reset, repositioning towards the wind, releasing brakes, and resuming power production.
