The energy in the wind turns the blades around a rotor.
The rotor is connected to the shaft, which spins a generator to create electricity.
In this video, we will learn, how a wind turbine works, and generate electricity.
A wind turbine has many components, which collectively help in generating electricity.
The wind runs through the turbine blades, thus decreasing the air pressure, on one side of the
blade. This causes, a difference in air pressure through both sides of the blade, creating a force
on the blade. The intensity of the force, rotates the rotor. But the slow rotation speed of the
blades, is not enough to produce electricity. For this reason, a gearbox is connected between
the rotor and the generator. This generator, transforms the aerodynamic force into electricity.
The housing, holding the gearbox and the generator is called the nacelle,
which can move according to the direction of the wind. If the direction of the wind changes,
a velocity sensor located on the top of the nacelle, sends a signal to the yawing mechanism
at the base of the nacelle. This mechanism, then moves the blades, to face the proper wind direction.
Also, the blades can rotate using a blade tilting mechanism, to align itself with the
proper angle of the wing. In this way, wind turbines can convert wind energy into electricity.
