Electrical Integration of Wind Farms
Wind energy conversion. A WTG, like all other forms of power generators, is an energy conversion system. The wind turbine itself converts the kinetic energy in the wind to mechanical (or rotational) energy. The mechanical energy is then converted to electrical energy using one of several types of electric generators (alternator).

Renewable Energy | St. Lucia Electricity Services Limited
Wind Energy. Wind simply put is moving air. It is created when the sun heats the air and cooler air moves in to replace it. This causes wind. Through the ages people have learned to harness the wind''s energy. Like the sun, it can also be used to create electricity. Windmills are used in many countries to capture the wind''s energy.
''Thermal batteries'' could efficiently store wind and solar
"Storing energy as heat can be very cheap," even for many days at a time, says Alina LaPotin, an MIT graduate student and first author of the current Nature paper. Henry and others add that thermal storage systems are modular, unlike fossil fuel plants, which are most efficient at a massive, gigawatt scale.

6 FAQs about [Saint Lucia storing wind energy]
What is the best energy source for Saint Lucia?
The NETS findings indicate that a portfolio of utility-owned solar, distributed solar, wind, and diesel together with energy storage offers the best economics for Saint Lucia.
What is the energy potential of Saint Lucia?
Saint Lucia is a volcanic windward island, with large tech- nical potential for geothermal, wind, and solar renewable energy generation, as well as use of solid waste generated by residents. Little technical potential for biomass or hydroelec- tric generation exists on the island.
How does electricity work in Saint Lucia?
The island’s 180,000 residents and tourism-driven economy depend heavily on reliable electricity service. Today, that electricity is generated almost exclusively from imported diesel fuel, leaving Saint Lucia vulnerable to a costly and volatile energy source.
Is Saint Lucia reliant on fossil fuels for electricity generation?
Like many island nations, Saint Lucia is almost 100% reliant on imported fossil fuels for electricity generation, leaving it vulnerable to global oil price fluctuations that directly impact the cost of electricity. Electricity Sector Data
Is biomass a source of electricity in Saint Lucia?
Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important source in lower-income settings. Saint Lucia: How much of the country’s electricity comes from nuclear power? Nuclear power – alongside renewables – is a low-carbon source of electricity.
How much geothermal potential does Saint Lucia have?
The volcano that sits in the middle of Saint Lucia provides vast geothermal potential. Conservative estimates indicate more than 30 MW of technical geothermal potential; others estimate 170 MW. Estimates also show that development of this geothermal resource would likely be economically feasible.
