wind energy systems

Wind energy systems harness the kinetic energy of wind to generate electricity. They typically consist of tall towers with large blades, known as wind turbines, that spin as wind blows. This spinning motion drives a generator inside the turbine, converting wind energy into electrical power. Wind farms can be found on land (onshore) or in oceans (offshore) and can supply clean, renewable energy to homes and businesses. Wind energy helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and promote sustainable energy sources, making it a vital component in the transition to a greener energy future.
