Morocco is endowed with real advantages Morocco is endowed with real advantages, notably by its strategic position at the heart of an energy hub (connection to the Spanish electricity network by two 400kV / 700 MW lines). The prospects for the development of the renewable energy sector in Morocco are very favorable thanks in particular…
#1.History of windmills The history of the operation of the first windmill dates back to the first century, where Heron describes it at this time as the first machine used in power generation in history, and the vertical axis of the mills was used for the first time in Sistan (East Persia, Iran now) in the…
The Lightning strike result from the formation of electrostatic charges and their polarization in thunderstorms. Thunder clouds form either as a result of an increase in the temperature of the air in contact with the earth’s surface and its upward movement, then cool, moist air is displaced from the layers of ‘upper air down, or…
Solar-powered ocean boat by Azura Marine Singapore-based Azura Marine has unveiled a $ 500,000 electric boat capable of completing “non-stop solar-powered cruises only”.The boat (catamaran yacht, the Aquanima 40 series), It was unveiled earlier this month in Bali, Indonesia.It is a unique design consisting of 4 compartments, and the boat can accommodate 8 guests for…
The need for wind energy in the energy system is to replace fossil fuel-based electricity generation to combat climate change on a global scale, but also to mitigate environmental concerns which are more on a regional or a local scale, which is associated with. Fossil fuel-fired power plants emission of particles, nitrogen oxides, or…
Description of HAWT wind Turbine A wind turbine is constituted by a tower at the top of which is the nacelle. Given as the wind speed increases as you move away from the ground, a tower can measure between 50 and 80 m from above. Typically a 1 MW wind turbine is 80 meters high,…
One of the largest energy projects on the globe is in India! Specifically South India. 2.5 million solar panels. The total output is 648 MW of power. 574 Inverter to convert DC to AC. More than 6000 km of cable carrier. More than 150 high-pressure electrical transformers. Area:10 square kilometers. Energy issue has become a…
Wind Turbines are white, yes but why? Is it simply an aesthetic criterion or are there other reasons for this color? According to a study by the British University, the color of the mat (white or gray color) attracts insects such as flies, aphids, mites, butterflies, or beetles. Birds or bats, attracted by these insects,…
Algeria, The Big Country In Africa Algeria is the Big country in Africa, covers an area of 2.38 million km2, and has a large desert which accounts for 80 % of its area characterized by long solar radiation all year long. It is one of the most qualified sites for solar energy production and wind energy in Africa…
Variable and Constant Speed Wind TurbinesAlthough known and exploited for a long time, wind energy was completely neglected during the industrial era, for the almost exclusive benefit, except hydroelectricity, of fossil fuels. The kinetic energy of the wind can be directly converted into mechanical energy and be usable for example in old windmills or to…
