give two advantages and as well as limitations in harnessing wind energy

Answer»

ADVANTAGES Of Wind Energy1) Wind Energy is an inexhaustible source of energy and is virtually a limitless resource.2) Energy is generated without polluting environment.3) This source of energy has tremendous potential to generate energy on large scale.4) Like solar energy and hydropower, wind power taps a natural physical resource.5) Windmill generatorsdon’temit any emissions that can lead to acid rain or greenhouse effect.6) Wind Energy can be used directly as mechanical energy.7) In remote areas, wind turbines can be used as great resource to generate energy.8) In combination with Solar Energy they can be used to provide reliable as well as steady supply of electricity.9) Land around wind turbines can be used for other uses, e.g. Farming.

LIMITATION of harnessing wind energy-

1.Minimum speed of wind must be 15KM/H

2.It can be extracted only at limited sites where the wind blows most of the time.

3.Large area is required to build the wind mulls which is expensive affair.

4.Efficiency is low and maintainence is high.
