wind turbine technology

Wind turbine technology harnesses the kinetic energy from wind and converts it into electricity. A turbine consists of large blades mounted on a tall tower. As the wind blows, it turns the blades, which spins a rotor connected to a generator. This generator then produces electrical power. The height of the tower allows the turbine to capture stronger winds, improving efficiency. Wind energy is renewable and produces no direct emissions, making it a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Wind farms, which consist of multiple turbines, are often situated in open areas or offshore to maximize wind exposure.
