Writing task 1 – Homework

Student Book:
The diagrams below show a machine for generating electricity and where it can be placed. The
machine is made of four main component: blades, steal tower, wind sensor and generator. The
process begins when wind blows through the blades. As a result, the blades spin, creating over
1.5 megawatts of electricity from the generator. At that moment, the wind sensor receive
information, then send it to the computer room to adjust the direction and angle of the blades.
The machine can be placed near the mainland, and in this case it can be reached maximum
wind strengths. However, it might get spoiled by the landscape. To solve this problem, the wind
turbine can be placed in the sea. In addition, there is a domestic turbine which can generate
100 kilowatts, not as much as the wind turbine, at 1.5 megawatts, but it will cost more to
install. In general, this is an usefull machine to harness renewable energy, while the price is
reasonable.
