Question

How is electricity generated using wind turbines?

Answer 1

Wind power converts the kinetic energy in wind to generate electricity or mechanical power. ... As the wind passes the turbines it moves the blades, which spins the shaft. There are currently two different kinds of wind turbines in use, the Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWT) or the Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT).

Answer 2

Wind Turbines :

• Wind turbines operate on a simple principle. The energy in the wind turns two or three propeller-like blades around a rotor.

• The rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to create electricity.
