i) Which country is called the country of winds?
ii) Which country leads the world in harnessing wind energy?
iii) In which district of Tamil nadu do we have wind energy farm?
iv) In which of the following land forms will you be able to harness maximum amount of wind energy?
(plains, canals, valleys)
i) Denmark is called the country of winds. This is so because more than 25% of their electricity needs are generated through wind energy.
ii) Germany leads the world in harnessing wind energy i.e. the total output of electric energy from wind energy is maximum in Germany.
iii) In Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu, we have largest wind energy farm in India. It generates 380 MW of electricity.
iv) We will be able to harness maximum wind energy in plains. To harness wind energy a large are of land is required where wind farm can be built. Such large areas of land are easily available in plains so there we can easily establish wind farms to harness maximum wind energy.
