Detailed explanation-1: -The two major disadvantages of wind power include initial cost and technology immaturity. Firstly, constructing turbines and wind facilities is extremely expensive. The second disadvantage is technology immaturity.
Detailed explanation-2: -The amount of energy that a wind farm can produce depends on the location, the size of the turbines, and the length of their blades.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water), or can be converted into electricity by a generator.
Detailed explanation-4: -The wind has limited speed which lessened the resultant kinetic energy of the wind energy. The speed of the wind is not constant. Production of wind energy is a long-term process i.e. it requires a long time to get a significant amount of energy. More items •18-Feb-2023
