Wind generated electricity from exhaust mine ventilation fans - a conceptual approach

摘要

With the increase in energy demand, exploring non-conventional energy resources have become imperative to supplement the conventional source of energy. This will be clear with an example of the estimated annual energy production of a wind turbine with rated capacity of 10 kW located at a site with a capacity factor of 40%, is 10 (kW)×0.40(CF)×8760 (hrs/yr), equal to 35,040 kWh/year.
