Wind energy, from the perspective of physics
Joachim Peinke, André Fuchs · Reflets de la physique · 2024
Electrical energy is one of the most valuable forms of energy, as it can be optimally transported and converted into other forms of energy with low losses. Most future scenarios predict that electrical energy consumption will continue to grow significantly, and that the share of renewable energies, due to their abundance, will also increase. This contribution focuses on wind power, discussing how it works and its contribution to the overall energy supply.
