An extra layer of power generationWind turbines harness the power of the wind to generate clean and renewable energy. Discover how they work, the advantages and disadvantages of using them, and their numerous applications.
How Wind Turbines Work
Wind turbines use blades to capture the wind’s energy. This causes the blades to turn, which powers a generator to produce electricity. As the wind speed increases, the amount of energy that can be generated also rises.
Different types of Wind Turbines
Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines
Vertical Axis Wind Turbines
These are the most commonly used wind turbines. The blades rotate around a horizontal axis and are facing the wind.
The blades rotate around a vertical axis and are independent of wind direction. These are smaller and less efficient, but can be used in urban areas.
Advantages of Wind Turbines
Renewable Energy Source
Wind is an unlimited renewable energy source that will never run out.
Cost Effective
Once installed, wind turbines have low operating costs compared to other energy sources.
No Harmful Emissions
Wind turbines produce zero emissions, making them an environmentally friendly option.
