Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: A wind turbine works on a simple principle. This animation shows how energy in the wind turns two or three propeller-like blades around a rotor. The rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to create electricity. Wind turbines are mounted on a tower to capture the most energy. Most people think of generating electricity with wind turbines when the subject is wind energy. There are many other ways we can harness the kinetic energy in the wind (also known as motional energy). The energy in the wind has been used in sailboats for thousands of years. Midwest Rural Energy Council Wind turbines generate electrical power in the same way as all other generation technologies. The only difference is in the source of the mechanical power supplied to the electrical generator: wind, rather than a diesel engine or steam turbine, pro vides the energy. Blades capture energy in the wind and turn the turbines. Control Where exactly does wind energy come from? How can we generate electricity from the wind? What are some other uses for wind energy? If you are looking to find answers for questions like these, you are at the right place. What Is Wind Energy? By the term wind energy we mean air in motion (kinetic energy). Generating Electricity from Wind Energy With Wind Turbines. A wind turbine is in many ways the opposite of a fan. Instead of providing the electricity to get the fan to rotate, wind rotates the turbine to generate electricity. So, how exactly does wind energy produce electricity? The rotor blades on a wind turbine catches the kinetic energy in the wind and transfers it via a rotor shaft to the generator. The wing blades can be rotated and adjusted to the wind direction and strength, for maximum utilization of energy. When the rotor spins, the power is transferred via the drive shaft and gearbox. Generating Electricity from Wind Energy With Wind Turbines A wind turbine is in many ways the opposite of a fan. Instead of providing the electricity to get the fan to rotate, wind rotates the turbine to generate electricity. Wind itself does not generate electricity, but using wind turbines it is converted into mechanical energy and the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. Simply stated, a wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan, wind turbines use wind to make electricity.

Skip navigation Energy can be changed from one form of energy to another. The energy of the air moving is changed to the energy of the blades spinning. The blades turn a generator. The generator produces electricity. ( A generator works by its electric wiring traveling through a magnetic field). Wind is a source of Kinetic energy resulting from differences in atmospheric pressure. curve for a wind turbine indi cates the power produced across the entire operating range of the wind turbine. Wind turbines have a cutin wind speed, typi cally about 8 to 9 mph, when they will start to produce a small amount of electricity. Below the cutin wind speed there is not enough energy in the wind to produce electrical power. Wind Query: how does wind generate electricity
Student:
Wind uses wind turbines to converted into mechanical energy and the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.
