Economic impacts are crucial in the societal acceptance and in the development of wind power. Understanding these implications will allow for better design and implementation of more effective wind energy policies.
How much will wind energy decline in North America?
In North America, there is weaker evidence, but an evolving consensus, that wind resources might decline by up to 5% in the mean annual energy density over much of the western USA 18, 82. In the Southern Great Plains, by contrast, it is anticipated that energy density may increase by up to 5–10% by mid-century (2050) 94, 95.
Why do wind turbines lose energy?
The annual energy production losses could be as high as 25% due to erosion on wind turbine blades . Furthermore, water vapor condensation occurs extensively in the low-pressure region above the airfoil and releases the latent heat of water drops . The rest of the incident rain drops form a thin water film upon the airfoil surface.
