Is Wind Energy Better as a Primary or Supplementary Source of Energy?

n/a

Group Members: Sophia Artz, Emma Cahill, Emma O'Neill, Isabelle Wallace and Professor Alan Lyons

Wind energy is a clean renewable energy source that converts wind into electricity. Our research will examine whether wind energy would be a good primary or supplementary energy source. Renewable sources do not produce direct carbon dioxide (CO2) or greenhouse gas emissions, helping to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and combat climate change. The growth of wind energy has influenced us to research if wind energy is a good primary source of energy for countries. We analyzed data from the power generation stations in New York as well as percentages of wind energy used across the United States. Wind energy poses some challenges as an exclusive energy source. These challenges may affect how countries use, develop, and depend on wind energy. As a result of these challenges, it can be difficult for countries to use wind energy as a primary source of energy. We researched the different ways storage systems can be implemented to improve and push wind energy toward becoming more efficient and reliable. We analyzed pumped water, as well as large-scale batteries to allow wind energy to store excess energy so that it can be used in the future.
