 Creating Values In Energy Freedom

The History of Wind Energy

Humans have used wind energy for thousands of years. Ancient Persians used wind energy to pump water before the birth of Christ. The world was explored by wind-driven ships long before engines were invented, since early recorded history people have been harnessing the energy of the wind. Wind energy propelled boats along the Nile River as early as 5000 B.C. By 200 B.C. simple windmills in China were pumping water, while vertical-axis windmills with woven reed sails were grinding grain in Persia and the Middle East. As recently as the 1920s, over a million wind turbines pumped water and provided electricity to farms in North America.

How The Wind Energy Work.

Wind energy converts kinetic energy that is present in the wind into more useful forms of energy such as mechanical energy or electricity. Wind energy is a pollution-free, infinitely sustainable form of energy. It doesn’t use fuel; it doesn’t produce greenhouse gasses, and it doesn’t produce toxic or radioactive waste.

Wind energy is the kinetic energy that is present in moving air. The amount of potential energy depends mainly on wind speed, but is also affected slightly by the density of the air, which is determined by the air temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude. 

The current interest in wind energy was started by the need to develop clean, sustainable energy systems that can be relied on for the long-term future. Modern aerodynamics and engineering have improved wind turbines. They now provide reliable, cost-effective, pollution-free energy for individual, community, and national applications.

·        It doesn’t require fuel

·        It doesn’t create greenhouse gases

·        It doesn’t produce toxic and radioactive waste

Alternate Energy Pakistan

There is large potential of renewable energy in Pakistan. These resources need to be developed and popularized for sustainable development. The present contribution of renewable sources is however, negligible in the total energy picture of Pakistan. Micro-hydro is a low-cost supply option with large potential. Wind, too, can be harnessed after proper planning. Biomass is another viable option which is not exploited to its potential, and sustainable development of solar energy needs further scientific research.

Energy Situation in Pakistan

The major constraints in sustainable energy development in Pakistan include high dependence on imported oil and a high rate of growth in use of indigenous natural gas.

Renewable resources of energy have large potential in the country according to the survey conducted by the International Power Generation (IPG) in 1978, Pakistan is 2^nd richest country in the world for wind power generation potential while Egypt is the riches in the world, this potential has not yet been adequately tapped.

Meanwhile, inefficient use of energy resources continues to affect energy use patterns. Since energy is an important vehicle for growth and socio-economical development, finite energy resources and a high depletion rate leads to a negative impact on sustainability.

Economic activity depends on environmental resources, and the lack of efficient use of energy resources is a major environmental concern in Pakistan.
