Abstract

Taking into account the recent interest in producing green energy through wind turbines, this paper aims to reconsider other options regarding different distributions in order to increase the production efficiency. Also, this paper analyses the hypothesis of Romania using only wind turbines to provide the energy needed to sustain the system, which at first may seem a bold idea, but pollution has become such a heated debate issue nowadays that it cannot be ignored anymore

Highlights

Summary

Introduction

It is well known that pollution has become a heated issue nowadays and its effects on nature determined people to look for other ways of producing energy, wind energy has stepped out. The problem is how to increase the performance of the wind turbines. This is the aim of our study, to optimize the distribution of the wind power plants that may replace fossil fuel energy in Romania. A wind turbine is an ensemble used for over 3000 years with a precise configuration (presented in Fig. 1) that includes the blades (1) meant to capture gusts of wind and to set in motion the rotor (2). This last one gives an impulse to a low-speed shaft (3), to a gearbox connected to a generator (7). The generator, based on electromagnetic induction, produces wind energy which is forwarded to an electrical station
