Wind energy is more straightforward than you may think. The turbines on most wind farms connect to the electric power grid. This way, the wind from the air can directly power the turbines, which will direct this power to the electrical source. Once the wind energy is in the system, the operators will then redirect this usable power to needed locations.  Distribution lines can channel this electricity to a larger network over long distances. In addition, smaller lines can deliver electricity to small farms, homes, and businesses.
