Wind Mills

Vindmotorfahriken „LykkeøaariT (Wind Mills Factory ,,Lykkegaard“) Ferritslev pr. Ullerslev Denmark. The significance of wind electricity works.

It is often connected with difficulty to have remote lying farms and villages supplied with electricity. The long distance from the high-tension network of distributørs often renders the electricity too expensive for the small consumers. It is however possible, by the application of wind-power, to solve this problem satisfactorily. Mr. Poul la Cour was aware of this faet in the very earliest stages of electricity supplying in Denmark. Under the supervision of Mr. Poul la Cour, who was in charge .of the experimental mili built by the State, several electricity works were built with the wind as principal driving power, and. though the wind- motors we constructed in those days were very defeetive, several of the original works aie still in use and are able to supply electricity as cheap as, and even cheaper than, our best high tension works. It is however, not only the saving in fuel, oil and coal etc. which makes the wind-motor so significant a factor in small country electricity works. . Both in pre-war times and also today the fuel economy effeeted is not only equivalent to the interest upon, but also to the amounts required for paying off the capital invested in the wind-motor. To this it might rightly be objected that it would never be worth while acquiring a wind-motor if it only just paid for itself, as one must always have sufficient engine power in reserve to fully meet requirements in periods with little or no wind, which means that tliere is no saving in other engine power. It is of course true that the wind motor will not be remunerative if it only serves to pay interest on the initial cost of acquisition, but its merit lies no less in battery economy (i. e. in prolonging the durability of the battery), economy in engine power and tending. It has been proved that the battery lasts mueh longer when wind-power is used, and it is only reasonable

that this should be so; a good wind-motor requires no attention and is allowed to work day and night incessantly, this being very favourable treat- ment of the battery, same being charged and discliarged very slowly. Moreover it is now and then well gassed, and it is spared the lieavy loads which almost invariably, as far as rural,electricity works are concerned, are worked in rainy and stormy weather when the farm hånds cannot work in the field.but there is ample wind available. It is evident that engine power mustbe spared somewhat by the use of wind power when theheavi- est loads are drawn in bad weather, which is the case in the country, and in any case the electricity produced by the wind will not give the auxiliary engine any trouble, so that consequently one may rightly calculate with lesser wear and tear on the auxiliary engines.
