BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Intro (erase this)
In Physics, energy is defined as the capacity to do work. It is one of the most important primal
components in the world. In our generation today, the percentage of energy consumption is getting
higher. An example of this is electricity. It is the most viable form of energy that is being used in modern
society of man. Appliances such as refrigerators, microwaves, cellphones etc. needs a lot of electricity.
Hence, electricity plays an important role in human lives because of its advancements it brought humans
satisfaction.
According to U.S. Energy Information Administration (2018), there are two sources of energy:
renewal and non-renewal energy. These sources of energy are utilized as primary energy source that can
be transformed into secondary energy such as electricity, hydrogen, and etc. Renewable energy sources,
which are replenishable naturally, consists of biomass, geothermal energy, hydropower, solar power
and wind energy.
According to Green Growth Study Energy (2011) Global demand for energy is increasing rapidly,
because of population and economic growth, especially in emerging market economies. While
accompanied by greater prosperity, rising demand creates new challenges. Energy security concerns can
emerge as more consumers require ever more energy resources. And higher consumption of fossil fuels
leads to higher greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), which contribute to global
warming. At the same time, the number of people without access to electricity remains unacceptably
high.
Furthermore, In our country, Philippines also experience this certain phenomenon. As stated by,
Doe.gov.ph, Between 1983 and 1997, the Philippines registered a robust energy consumption growth of
7% corresponding to a 5% annual growth in GDP, translating to an energy-to-GDP growth ratio or
elasticity of 1.5. From 1997 to 1999 wherein for the most part the Philippines was affected by the Asian
financial crisis, a much lower energy-to-GDP elasticity was seen, largely due to the negative growth in
petroleum consumption, which is attributed to the slowdown in industrial production. Growth in
electricity generation was high relative to GDP, but the residential or the consumptive rather than the
productive industrial sectors drove most of the consumption growth.
According to the results of the latest National Statistics Office (NSO) and Department of Energy
(DOE) Household Energy Consumption Survey (HECS), Philippine households commonly used electricity
as their main source of energy. During the reference period March to August 2011, 18 million
households or 87.2 percent of the 21 million participating households used electricity. This is followed
by fuelwood, LPG, charcoal, kerosene, gasoline, biomass residues with and diesel as household sources
of energy.
“Wherein electricity was the most common source of energy used by Filipino households, local
establishments favored a different energy source.” (Philippine Canadian Inquirer, 2015)
Wind Turbines
INTRO OF THE WIND TURBINES( ERASE THIS)
The expressions "wind energy" and "wind power" both depict the procedure by which the wind
is utilized to create mechanical power or electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy from the
wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be utilized for explicit undertakings, (for
example, pounding grain or siphoning water) or a generator can change over this mechanical power into
electricity. A wind turbine, or on the other hand alluded to as a wind energy converter, is a gadget that
changes over the wind's kinetic energy into electrical energy.
Wind energy conversion frameworks have turned into a point of convergence in the exploration
of sustainable power sources. From the earliest starting point of the 21st century, intrigue has ascended
in new and sustainable power source (RE) sources particularly wind vitality for power age. The
researchers and analysts endeavored to quicken answers for wind vitality age plan parameters. Our life
is legitimately identified with vitality and its utilization, and the issues of vitality research are critical and
profoundly delicate. In a brief span, wind vitality is invited by society, industry and governmental issues
as a spotless, commonsense, efficient and naturally cordial option. Because of broad examinations on
this point, wind vitality has as of late been connected in different ventures, and it began to contend with
other vitality assets. In this paper, wind vitality is audited, and we have talked about the stochastic
structure of wind, wind control meteorology, nursery impact and worldwide atmosphere changes, and
furthermore opened for further exchange.
Electrical energy request has been ceaselessly expanding. Draining petroleum product saves,
natural concerns, and deficiency of customary age strategies in gathering developing interest,
sustainable power source use has been broadly received on the planet. When considering the utilization
of sustainable power sources on the planet, it tends to be seen that wind energy is for the most part
favored over other sustainable power sources. In this examination, a new prototype wind energy
transformation framework appropriate for urban use is structured and produced. The proposed plan is
secluded and has adaptable structure. In the new structure, an external rigging ring appended to turbine
sharp edges is utilized. In the plan arrange, both the number of edges and the quantity of external
apparatus rings are fluctuated to dissect their impact on turbine execution. Execution investigation of
the model breeze turbine is finished under genuine conditions and results are given. Because of this
examination, it is demonstrated that expanding the gearwheels and sharp edge numbers caused turbine
yield power increments. The most proficient structure recognized during the field examination is a three
gearwheel with six cutting edge frameworks.
Wind turbines are fabricated in a wide scope of vertical and horizontal axis. The littlest turbines are
utilized for applications, for example, battery charging for assistant power for vessels or bands or to
power traffic cautioning signs. Bigger turbines can be utilized for making commitments to a residential
power supply while selling unused power back to the utility provider by means of the electrical matrix.
Varieties of enormous turbines, known as wind farms, are turning into an inexorably significant
wellspring of discontinuous sustainable power source and are utilized by numerous nations as a major
aspect of a technique to decrease their dependence on petroleum products. One appraisal asserted
that, starting at 2009, wind had the "most reduced relative ozone harming substance outflows, the least
water utilization requests and the most positive social effects" contrasted with photograph voltaic,
hydro, geothermal, coal and gas.
