Wind turbine power generation – fundamentals

How wind turbines generate electricity: Wind turbines consist of large rotor blades, often mounted on a tall tower. When the wind blows, it causes the rotor blades to rotate. As the rotor blades spin, they harness the kinetic energy of the wind. The energy in the moving air particles is transferred to the rotor blades. … Continue reading Wind turbine power generation – fundamentals
