Abstract: Wind and Wind energy are being utilized since ancient times for various purposes. Our ancestors were wise enough to devise different methods to deploy wind for their own good. Examples that can be thought of simply include use of wind to separate the grain from its cover which is still practised in rural India, use of wind’s direction while sailing a ship over sea and many more. With the development of technology, we are now able to forecast the weather with the help of wind directions and generate electricity using the wind flow through windmills. In these developments over the years, the fundamental aspect of wind that is significant is its kinetic energy. In this paper, we have focused on why and how the wind flows, along with whether the kinetic energy present in the wind is conversion of some type of energy or is generated. To draw this conclusion, we have presented a theoretical analysis of various aspects of wind.
Keywords: Wind energy, kinetic energy, energy conservation law
