Onshore Wind Farms
A wind farm is an area which is host to several wind turbines, sometimes up to 100 individual turbines at a time. Rather than working as individual turbines, all of the energy collected by these wind farms is grouped into one larger generator of electricity; making such developments the power plant of the modern era. The most common type of wind farm is the onshore wind farm. This essentially means where each wind turbine is anchored into land, usually on a grassy field or high on a hillside. Other forms of wind farms are possible; offshore wind farms are built ...
Wind Turbines and ‘Shadow Flicker’
If you do not live near a wind turbine, it is unlikely you will have ever heard the term 'shadow flicker' in everyday usage. The problem however is being discussed fervently by those who reside near onshore wind farms, and the matter is having to be settled by the courts in some cases. Like all large structures, wind turbines cast a shadow. If one lives near enough to an active wind farm, this shadow may fall on your home at various points of the day. To many homeowners, this in itself is annoying, particularly if they live in rural areas ...
What is a Wind Turbine?
Dotted across landscapes throughout the world, one can now see small, stick-thin structures with three spokes poking out from the central column. These structures are alarming, and almost sinister, the first time you see them. The world now recognises them as wind turbines, and their presence in the modern world is becoming more apparent. Wind turbines are man's primary way of generating electricity using the power of the wind. The versions of wind turbines we see now are merely an extension of an old idea; using the wind for power is no new concept. What is new is using the ...

If you think about it, all energy is ultimately solar energy even fossil fuels. Coal and petroleum are the result of rotting vegetable matter that was buried and subject to intense geologic pressures hundreds of millions of years ago. While alive, this plant matter captured sunlight and stored it through the biological process of photosynthesis. This... [Read more of this article]
