Theory Background

Wind Turbine is a device that converts the wind’s kinetic

energy into electrical energy. Wind turbines are manufactured
in a wide range of vertical and horizontal axis.
Operate on a simple principle. The energy in the wind turns
two or three propeller, like blades around a rotor.

- Is a mechanical device which converts wind energy to
electricity. Electricity produced from a wind turbine is
basically alternating current. When wind with sufficient
speed hits the blade of the turbine, it creates a force
on the blade causing the momentum from the moving wind to
be transferred into rotating shaft. The rotating shaft
will be part of the generator which is converted into
electrical energy. Energy is generated when the wind
speed reaches about 4 to 5 m/sec, and a speed of 11 to 12
m/sec allows the turbines to generate at their rated
capacity. They shut down when the wind exceeds 24 to 25
m/sec.

The coefficient of power of a wind turbine is a measurement of

how efficiently the wind turbine converts the power in the
wind into electricity.
Wind power is an alternative clean energy source and can be
relied on for the long-term future instead of the conventional
fossil fuel energy.

A wind turbine is a way of producing cost effective pollution

free energy. A single household can be turn on the energy
generated from a wind turbine. Because wind is a source of
energy which is non-polluting and renewable, wind turbines
create power without using fossil fuels, without producing
greenhouse gases or radioactive or toxic waste. Wind power
reduces global warming.
Power in the wind although a wind energy system’s final
objective is to generate energy it is more convenient to
describe its size in terms of power. The relationship between
power and energy is a simple size one- energy is defined in
watts and energy in watt-hours.(http://goldpower.net/news/how-

How does a wind turbine generate electricity?

Wind power converts the kinetic energy in wind to generate
electricity or mechanical power. This is done by using a large
wind turbine usually, consisting of propellers, the turbine
can be connected to a generator to generate electricity.

Creating Electricity from Wind

To create electricity from wind then shaft of the turbine
must be connected to a generator. Then generator uses the
turning motion of the shaft to rotate a rotor which has
oppositely charge magnets and is surrounded by copper wire
loops. Electromagnetic induction is created by the rotor
spinning around the inside of the core, generating
electricity.
