Instead of crops, this farm is made up of dozens of wind turbines. These turbines harness the wind to produce enough electricity for several towns in the area. Harnessing the wind for its energy is not a new idea. The earliest ships used wind power to carry them across the oceans. Ancient people used the wind to operate huge wheels to pump water from deep wells or to crush grain.
Wind rotates the windmill to turn the turbine.
The turbine produces electricity which is transported to users. When the electricity is transported, it must take the form of DC or AC current in order to suit the user. In addition, that current must arrive in a quantity that will not overload electrical devices. Thus, the turbine includes a converter, a transformer, and a conducting network. If electricity is not used immediately, it can be stored in batteries for later use.
