What is a Windmill Farm?
As traditional sources of energy grow closer to depletion, the search for alternative renewable energy becomes more important. One of these renewable energy sources that has created a great amount of interest is wind energy. Wind energy harnesses the natural energy of the wind and converts it into a usable form of energy that can be used to power homes and businesses. Most of this wind is harnessed in windmill farms. A windmill farm is a group of machinery called wind turbines that take the wind and harness its kinetic energy into usable electricity. A windmill farm may contain as little as 10 and as many as 100 wind turbines in an area. Each of these turbines are connected to a central substation. A windmill farm is generally located in areas of great wind concentration, and can be found both on land as well as in the ocean, where they can harness the wind generated by ocean currents. Wind turbines need wind speeds of at least 10mph to create electricity, so they are usually located i
