Created by Andy Darvill Science teacher at Broadoak Community School , Weston-super-Mare, England Web site www.darvill.clara.net Wind power - energy from the air Introduction How it works More details Advantages ... Is it renewable? Introduction We've used the wind as an energy source for a long time. The Babylonians and Chinese were using wind power to pump water for irrigating crops 4,000 years ago, and sailing boats were around long before that. Wind power was used in the Middle Ages, in Europe, to grind corn, which is where the term "windmill" comes from. How it works The Sun heats our atmosphere unevenly, so some patches become warmer than others. These warm patches of air rise, other air blows in to replace them - and we feel a wind blowing. We can use the energy in the wind by building a tall tower, with a large propellor on the top.

Publications Site Map Site List Events ... Publications Renewable Energy Assessment and Development Program Please also see these documents: Analysis of Renewable Portfolio Options for Hawaii and Appendix 1: Update of Selected Cost and Performance Estimates The purpose of this project, also known as Project 3 of the Hawaii Energy Strategy (1995), was to produce a comprehensive assessment of Hawaii's renewable energy resources (wind, solar, biomass, hydroelectric, ocean thermal energy conversion [OTEC], geothermal, and wave energy) and a long-range development strategy. The project consisted of three parts, and produced three reports: Renewable Energy Resource Assessment Plan The report on Phase I summarized the activities involved in creating the resource assessment plan, including determining constraints and requirements, identifying potential project sites, analyzing existing utility infrastructure, identifying existing monitoring sites, and screening potential sites. New solar and wind monitoring sites were recommended and instrumented for collection of additional data. Development of Renewable Energy Resource Supply Curves The Phase II report compiled cost and performance data on current and future renewable energy conversion systems, analyzed and reduced existing data on available resources, and presented the renewable energy resource supply curves which were developed. A computer model was developed to allow comparison of cost information on renewable resources with various alternatives.

149. Mayflower Trading: A Pilgrimage To Resource Efficiency For Self Reliant Living. Alternative energy (solar power, wind, and hydro power), generators, inverters, charge controllers, solar modules, solar panels, composting toilets, storable food, emergency kits, books, and energysaving appliances. Also has articles on self-reliant living. http://www.mayflowertrading.com

To enjoy self-reliant living and utilize resources in a responsible manner, one must follow the path chosen by few. The decision to incorporate renewable energy and other non-harmful living practices in our lives can be done economically and still provide the required flexibility to allow function and progress in modern society. Alternative energy (or Renewable Energy) can be utilized in a large urban area, "off the grid" such as a weekend cabin retreat or for those looking for a self-sufficient lifestyle in a rural spot. Alternatives include the use of natural resources like solar power through the use of photovoltaics, wind power, hydro-electric power or a generator for primary use or as a backup. To understand how alternative energy can work for you, we provide a number of charts and worksheets to assist you in evaluating your site and the resources available to you. Alternative Energy Considerations Before Choosing Alternative Energy Solar Power Complete Solar Systems ... Charts, Tables and Worksheets for Renewable Energy Energy efficient appliances are a must for those who choose alternative energy sources since the power generated is usually delegated rather judiciously. Water pumping systems for domestic and livestock use can be a component of the home power system or function as a separate system. Hot water heaters that are fueled by a renewable energy source and composting toilets can be critical in remote places. However, energy efficient refrigerators and freezers are most commonly found in the homes of folks who are concerned with the health of our environment or who recognize the long term economical value of investing in an appliance that will pay for itself through

Print-friendly version Wind plus compressed air equals efficient energy storage in Iowa proposal The Iowa Stored Energy Plant project proposes to use wind energy to compress air for storage in an underground aquifer. When generation is needed, the compressed air would be released to drive natural gas-fired combustion turbines. Air in its rapidly moving form, otherwise known as wind, has become an increasingly important part of Iowa's energy mix, and it may become even more important if the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities succeeds in launching an innovative wind-powered compressed air energy storage facility project. CAES technology uses off-peak power to store compressed air in an underground aquifer for use in later generation. A joint project of IAMU and a steering committee of municipal utility managers, the Iowa Stored Energy Plant would use wind power to compress the air and an underground aquifer to store it. "Adding renewable energy and a different type of storage space to the equation has the potential to make an already effective technology even more attractive," said IAMU Energy Services Coordinator
