Wind Power

Wind power is the use of modern renewable energy generation technology—wind turbines—to harness wind (wind energyWind energy) and convert it into usable electrical power. A wind turbineWind turbine consists of propeller-like blades, rotor shafts, generators, gearboxes, and brake assemblies. The wind turns the blades of the turbine, which are connected to a generator, generating power. Multiple turbines are often grouped together in wind farmsWind farms to generate a larger amount of power.
