Wind power is directly related to the: Therefore, wind energy is particularly sensitive to the:

A byproduct of solar energy is the wind. Approximately 2% of the sun's energy reaching the earth is converted into wind energy.

The windmill has three blades mounted on a tower around a horizontal axis.

The horizontal axis of a turbine coupled to a generator is fixed.

The wind may be erratic, just like the weather in general. It changes from one location and time to another.

Without specialised equipment, it is difficult to quantify since it is undetectable.

The nearby hills, valleys, forests, and buildings all have an impact on the wind speed.

Because wind is a diffuse energy source, it cannot be trapped or saved for use later or in another location.

Wind power is exactly proportional to the cube of wind velocity; as a result, wind energy is particularly sensitive to wind velocity.
