Efficient use of wind energy in Lankaran zone

Abstract

Depletion of traditional energy resources and deterioration of ecology is one of the main issues
on the agenda of the whole world in modern times. A number of developed countries are
promoting the use of alternative energy sources as one of the ways to solve the problem.
Currently, the most widely used alternative energy sources are solar and wind. The
advantages of wind energy are that it is inexhaustible and the cost is relatively low. Aerological
research results are used in wind energy. Based on these results, the wind energy cadastre is
being developed. In this way, the regions where the application of wind energy is profitable
are determined. Coastal zones are considered the most promising place to get energy from the
wind. Offshore farms are built in the sea at a distance of 10-12 kilometers from the coast, and
sometimes more. Towers of wind generators are built on foundations buried up to 30 meters
deep, floating foundations are also used. The energy of the wind is directly proportional to the
cube of its speed. But unfortunately, not all wind energy can be usefully used. According to
theoretical calculations, the value of the coefficient of useful use of the energy of the air flood
is 59.3%. Only a certain part of this energy is converted into useful energy. The performance
factor of the most modern wind turbines is about 50%.
