How can you make wind energy more accessible and affordable?

Serious material savings can be achieved in reinforced concrete onshore wind turbine foundations by advanced 3D nonlinear FEA compared to traditional design methods. Simulation gives insight in the actual behaviour, which also improves safety. Greener concrete mixtures and alternative types of reinforcements have the potential to further reduce the environmental impact of onshore wind turbine foundations. As size of blades and towers keeps increasing, larger and larger foundations are needed. To meet the targets for wind energy on land, the current rate of construction needs to increase. In short, more and larger onshore wind turbines will be built. The potential for material and thereby CO2 emission savings is huge! #Windbase

Very specifically, the provision of adequate and economic storage in the form of batteries, or more importantly in the form of Pumped Hydro is a way to provide the benefits of wind power even when the wind is not blowing. Pumped Hydro is capable of delivering predictable despatchable power on demand. Pumped Hydro schemes can be configured to accept culmanative power from any number of sources to ensure its viability. So it has lasting benefit.

I have a Bladeless Wind Turbine which doesn't m\need a Braking system, doesn't create Wake Turbulence like Bladed Turbines, No RF interference and can be used in many different ways. It can be useful in water desalination, integrated with Solar and the costs are significanly less than Bladed Turbines

To enhance wind energy accessibility and affordability, focus on tech advancements, economies of scale, incentives, grid integration, streamlined regulations, local engagement, offshore projects, competition, transmission infrastructure, education, and awareness. These steps can drive cost reductions, increase adoption, and contribute to a cleaner energy future.

Wind energy is reliable as it's available whole day we can make it more affordable by - Promoting a house wind turbine and with the support of governments can be used. - Promote regulations on construction sites to use minimum amount of energy produced by wind. - Inventor fabricate a car chargers using wind generated energy and make it with special prices so it will be attractive.

Horizontal axis wind turbines might have a higher efficiency when evaluated solely, but on a farm; vertical axis wind turbines have proven to have less drag behind the turbine and wind turbines can be placed more densely to generate more energy/area. There is a full spectrum of optimization potential in this area that I believe the industry should focus on. Additional benefits are less noise, less bird and bat killing, and less wind direction dependency.

Optimisation of design and manufacturing of wind turbines to make them comparatively affordable. Higher price by the Govt in buying the energy.

It would help to advance our current designs by committing to a full and complete AI design system that analyses past design techniques, materials, and concepts and maximize cost savings, efficiency, and the best designs of our time. It would also benefit the advancement of this industry to develop | culture a team of engineers with this dream in their hearts ( both young and old) to seek out a best design solution that benefits mankind. From that point forward it will take a management team to educate the world on the benefits of “free wind energy” and continue to push the curve of development of this useful energy source. Innovation of unique concepts should never be forgotten but rather encouraged to better our world of today.

Hub Height: Taller wind turbine towers allow access to higher and often more consistent wind speeds. Choosing an appropriate hub height is crucial for optimizing energy production

Innovation in wind energy is needed further more. In the past two years the cost for wind turbines design and structure has been increasing which leads to a gap between the design process and the execution process. New innovated design and application are yet to be encouraged and planned by governments to reach the needed expected amounts of energy harvesting from wind.

Wind energy is an energy source, but not the best, or the least harmful. 1.Wind energy zones are mainly found in Northern latitudes, and in the sea. Therefore, not near the usage areas. 2.It depends on the current pattern of weather, any climatic change can cause severe change in the availability. 3. As for developing countries it is not available in abundance as northern Europe. 4. The wind turbines industry is a high tech one, and is not easy for developing countries where a big population is in need. 5. The environmental effect of large wind farms is not studied, since such farms are rather new. 6. New technologies of vibrating blades are promising, but another problem lies in the availability of the materials to manufacture blades

One thing I found helpful is to ensure a hybrid system is in place for a more sustainable energy system availability. This will in turn make it more practical from planning to everyday use. - why not wind and biogas electrical system. - a design that leverages on both energy sources will ultimately offer an off the grid solution. - imagine having alternate power in the absents of the other even when routine maintenance is taking place. - use of cheap recyclable materials in components with a cost of replacing being negligible or available on a longterm insurance scheme.

Deploying Mobile Wind Power Stations depends on Geographical location & favorable wind conditions coupled with High Efficient BESS system would meet demand as per zone requirement, but not limited to this will reduce Maintenance, ideal hours, Operational cost effectively.

To make wind energy more accessible and affordable, key strategies include government incentives, research and development, grid integration, community projects, standardization, scale production, competitive procurement, education, financing options, and international cooperation. These approaches aim to reduce costs and encourage wider adoption of wind energy technology.

Probably the best way to make almost any energy source more accessible and affordable is to keep the generation as local to the point of use as possible. Transmission losses and heat radiation from multiple up/down transformer steps may be the most preventable inefficiency in any well-planned "power grid". Battery storage and inverter efficiency losses could also be considered avoidable wastes of energy, but that would require stepping back from a narrow focus on power sources which can't produce consistent supply 24hr/day.
