Across
- 3. An evaluation of the potential environmental effects of a wind energy project.
- 5. Wind turbines located on land.
- 9. The process of selecting the optimal location for wind turbines or wind farms based on wind resource assessments.
- 12. The spinning blades of a wind turbine that capture the kinetic energy of the wind.
- 13. The direction from which the wind is blowing, often expressed in degrees (e.g., north, south, east, west).
- 15. A wind turbine in which the rotational axis of the rotor is parallel to the wind direction.
- 16. The speed at which the wind is blowing. It is usually measured in units like meters per second (m/s) or miles per hour (mph).
- 17. A collection of multiple wind turbines located in the same area to generate electricity.
- 19. The process of connecting wind power plants to the electrical grid to distribute the electricity they generate.
Down
- 1. The energy harnessed from the movement of air (wind) using wind turbines.
- 2. it transfers and spreads the loads to the soil at depth.
- 4. Irregular, chaotic airflow that can affect the efficiency and stability of wind turbines.
- 6. The core of the wind turbine, where thr rotating machinery of the wind turbine can be converted into electrical energy.
- 7. Wind turbines located on water, such as the ocean or large lakes.
- 8. The main rotor shaft is set transverse to the wind while the main components are located at the base of the turbine.
- 10. A device used to measure wind speed.
- 11. A machine that converts the energy of the wind into mechanical energy which can be used to generate electricity.
- 14. A map of database that shows information about wind resources in a specific region.
- 18. The process of evaluating the potential of an area for wind energy production.
- 20. The component of a wind turbine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
