Zakrzhevsky – Wind turbines for the mechanization of livestock farms
The book *Wind Turbines for the Mechanization of Livestock Farms* by Zakrzhevsky presents data on selecting wind turbines and choosing machinery and equipment for feed-processing facilities. It outlines methods for the efficient operation of wind installations and details maintenance procedures to ensure their longevity. Standardized cost estimates for wind installations—necessary for financial settlements between farms and construction contractors—have been developed. Additionally, the book describes the fundamental rules and best practices for installation crews.
Methods for repairing wind turbines and pumping equipment, as well as the use of towerless water towers, are also described.
This book *Wind Turbines for the Mechanization of Livestock Farms* by Zakrzhevsky serves as a practical guide for engineering and technical personnel at Repair and Technical Stations (RTS) and state farms regarding the use of wind turbines for water supply and the mechanization of labor-intensive tasks on livestock farms.
Harnessing the free forces of nature—particularly wind energy converted into useful mechanical and electrical power by wind turbines—can provide significant assistance in solving the problem of mechanizing labor-intensive livestock farming tasks, such as water supply and feed preparation.
In terms of available wind energy, there is more than enough to electrify the entire agricultural sector.
By utilizing wind power, farms can ensure a reliable and sufficient water supply, independent of external uncertainties. Furthermore, sufficiently powerful wind turbines can drive and operate feed-processing machinery.
Wind turbines are particularly advantageous for remote, unelectrified farms where the delivery of power and engine fuel is difficult.
Since wind turbines utilize free wind energy, their operation is significantly more cost-effective and economical than that of other types of engines—and far more advantageous than animal traction. The All-Union Institute for the Mechanization and Electrification of Agriculture has conducted observations and calculated cost savings for a large number of wind-power installations. The results revealed that the cost of energy generated by a wind turbine is half that of energy produced by internal combustion engines…
