Solar energy sources

PV solar power - Era-Energy has started to present local, national and global companies developing, exploring and promoting renewable energy sources. More »

The Earth energy and the beauty

The Earth energy sources - Earth’s energy comes from the original formation of the planet and from radioactive decay of minerals. The geothermal gradient, which is the difference in temperature between the core of the planet and its surface, drives a continuous conduction of thermal energy in the form of heat from the core to the surface.

The power of the water

Hydropower, hydroelectric power or water power is power that is derived from the force or energy of flowing or falling water, which may be harnessed for useful purposes. More »

The power of the wind

The wind power is the ability of air movement to do work. Today, wind energy turbines are used mainly for production of electricity. It is a clean and renewable energy source that can produce enough electricity to power huge areas. More »

The invisible power

The energy of the wind is invisible and so powerful that has allowed humans to exploit the surface of the planet long before the discovering of electricity. More »

Wind energy future

We can emphasize that wind energy is generated indirectly thanks to the Sun. The Sun heats the air and this causes the currents that generate wind. Wind is inexhaustible, and is renewed on a continuous basis as long as the Sun shines. It does not cause any type of contamination. It is green power.

It is becoming increasingly less expensive, as the technology advances.

It allows progress without hurting the Earth, respecting the environment.

It leaves no trace and does not pollute in any way.

To ensure wind turbines that are big in size work in a better manner, a new kind of air-flow technology may soon be introduced. Apart from other aspects, it will focus on efficiency of blades used in the wind turbines. The technology will help in increasing the efficiency of these turbines under various wind conditions.

Other applications of wind energy

Another one of wind energy´s uses is the windmill. An aerogenerator is connected directly to a charge replacing its electric generator and its main function is water pumping.

These windmills consist of many blades  that get the most out of low speed winds. They start working with winds from wind speed of unfer 3 m/s, maintaining a constant rotating capacity, perfect to have a continuous amount of water, taking advantage of both, strong and weak winds and avoiding the need for large water tanks or towers.
