Wind Energy Technologies
Wind energy technologies harness the power of moving air to generate electricity. This is typically done using wind turbines, which resemble large fans with blades that rotate when hit by wind. The spinning blades turn a shaft connected to a generator, creating electrical power. Modern turbines can be installed on land (onshore) or at sea (offshore), where wind tends to be stronger and more consistent. Advances in turbine design and materials have made wind energy more efficient and cost-effective, helping to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower carbon emissions for cleaner, sustainable power generation.
