Wind Energy Conversion Systems

Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) harness the power of wind to generate electricity. They typically consist of large turbines with blades that rotate when the wind blows, converting kinetic energy into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy then drives a generator, producing electrical power. Modern systems include hardware for controlling and optimizing performance, and may connect to the electrical grid or batteries for storage. WECS offer a renewable, clean source of energy, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, making them a sustainable option for electricity generation.
