Eolic power

“Eolic power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form of energy, such as using: wind turbines to make electrical power, windmills for mechanical power, wind pumps for water pumping or drainage, or sails to propel ships”(Wikipedia, 2012).

Wind power has been used in old era as for navigation of ships depending on sails, for other limited daily activity, but also has been known for other bad effects when having high speed. Also wind power has many different ways to use, in the past the human was using wind power for pumped water. Some region was so far from the river or any source for water so they used wind power to arrive the water, wind pumps provided water for livestock and steam engines. With the development of electric power, wind power found new applications in lighting buildings remote from centrally-generated power. “Throughout the 20th century parallel paths developed distributed small wind plants suitable for farms or residences, and larger utility-scale wind generators that could be connected to electricity grids for remote use of power” (Wikipedia, 2012).

Wind power used by many countries such as Germany, Spain, Denmark, United Kingdom, Romania, Republic of Ireland, Estonia, and Lithonia. Wind power is very easy to use and it is almost electronic. “The total number of using electronic power from wind in 2006 was 74,223 m/watt which is about 1% from universal using. The percentage of producing to consuming about 20% in Denmark, 9% in Spain, 7% in Germany” (Wikipedia, 2012). As a result, the universal producing of using wind power is increasing four times between 2000-2006.  

             Now there are many programs to improve wind turbine performance and reducing the cost of energy. The most prominent of these programs Sandia’s Wind Energy Technologies program. Sandia specializes in all aspects of wind-turbine blade design and system reliability. Technology supports the world in all parts such as healthy environment and renewable and non- renewable energy and this is why the technology is very important.

  Wind is everywhere, the wind around us in nature. Wind is more environmentally-friendly alternative energies than other and it still tapped not complete. There is many way to use wind power we know some of them and there are many that do not know about them. So, let’s talk about some smart uses for wind-powered energy. For instant, wind-powered vehicles: a car work by wind it takes a journey and complete 3,100 mile. It was not 100% powered by the wind, it just an example for using alternative energies. Another uses is wind powered sports, for many years the wind has been used to power sports. “Both literally and figuratively, everything from simple kite-flying to sailing, wind-surfing, hang-gliding, Para-sailing, wind-skiing and more”.    

            In the future, using of wind power will increase more than now especially in the UAE because the government encourages and supports clean energy. Sheikh Abdulla bin Zayed is interested in these kind of energy. For example, IRENA the International Renewable Energy Agency which is an intergovernmental organization dedicated to renewable energy. In my opinion, all countries should develop their cities by using alternative energies because this keeps their environment healthy and fresh.
