A wind turbine<\/strong> is a device that, using blade rotors<\/strong>, produces electric power<\/strong> from the wind power<\/strong>. The concept is formed with the compositional element aero-<\/strong> (referring to \"air\"<\/strong>) and the term generator<\/strong> (a machine that generates energy or force).<\/p>\n

\"WindBefore proceeding with the definition of a wind turbine, it is important to clarify some ideas. The wind power<\/strong> is obtained from wind<\/strong>, since the Kinetic energy<\/strong> associated with the movement of air masses. The electric power<\/strong>, meanwhile, is the energy resulting from the potential difference between two points<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Returning to the notion of a wind turbine, this type of device manages to convert wind energy into electrical energy. For this he uses blade rotors<\/strong>: that is, a rotating system that, when influenced by the wind<\/strong>, enables the movement of the blades.<\/p>\n

When the wind turbine blades move, the kinetic energy comes into action, which is transformed into mechanical energy<\/strong> and then, by means of a alternator<\/strong>, in electrical energy. In other words: the kinetic energy of the moving air (wind energy) provides mechanical energy to the blade rotors and, thanks to a transmission mechanism, the alternator is rotated, which produces electrical energy from mechanical energy. rotational.<\/p>\n

There are the horizontal axis wind turbines<\/strong> and the vertical axis wind turbines<\/strong>. It is common for wind turbines to be grouped into wind farms<\/strong> and that the electrical energy they produce is supplied to the electrical network. It is worth mentioning that its operation does not require combustion that causes gases of greenhouse effect<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
