How to overcome the wind power harvesting problems

Wind power harvesting often has problems that are related to fluctuations in wind speed, inability to store the energy in an economic way and high investment costs. There are many different methods that could be used to effectively increase wind power harvesting. The usage of modern technology and anemometers improves the tracking and prediction of wind speed during different seasons. Furthermore, the special software can be used to track the wind speed and adjust the wind turbines.

Storing energy in batteries is often not suitable for long term projects. Therefore, scientists propose the water accumulation lakes that could be filled with water that is pumped by the energy that is created by the wind turbines during the high seasons. The accumulated water could be used generate electricity during low seasons. There are also other solutions for ultra heavy duty batteries that are based on nanotechnology as well as usage of biotechnology for wind farms.

The investment costs still pose a great problem for building of wind turbines. It is well know that the quantity of energy that is created by the turbines is directly proportional to the size of a turbine. The engineers are trying to create giant wind mills for off shore usage that will provide great amounts of energy. The careful planning of location and capacity of wind generators is a key economical factor that must be taken into account. We could surely expect that there will be many new projects that are related to wind energy harvesting in the future.
