What Is a Wind Turbine?
A wind turbine converts the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical power. This power can then be converted into electricity using a generator.
Types of Wind Turbines
- Horizontal-Axis Turbines: The most common type, featuring blades that rotate around a horizontal axis.
- Vertical-Axis Turbines: Less common, with blades that rotate around a vertical axis.
Benefits of Wind Energy
- Renewable and abundant.
- No greenhouse gas emissions during operation.
- Reduces reliance on fossil fuels.
How It Works
Wind turns the blades of the turbine, which spins a shaft connected to a generator, producing electricity.
