Energy harnessed from the kinetic energy of moving air to generate electricity.

A device that captures the kinetic energy of the wind and converts it into mechanical energy, which can then be used to generate electricity.

The energy possessed by an object due to its motion.

A device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy using magnets and coils of wire.

Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines, the most common type, with blades rotating around a horizontal axis.

Vertical Axis Wind Turbines, less common, with blades rotating around a vertical axis.

Energy from sources that are naturally replenishing, such as wind, solar, and hydro.

The characteristic of wind energy being variable and not always constant, leading to fluctuating energy output.

Excessive or disturbing noise that can negatively impact human and animal health.

The negative aesthetic impact of human-made structures on the natural landscape.

Wind turns turbine blades -> rotation converts kinetic energy to mechanical energy -> generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy -> electricity is stored.

1. Wind turns turbine blades. 2. Blades rotate a shaft connected to a generator. 3. Generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. 4. Electricity is stored or transmitted.

Wind's kinetic energy rotates turbine blades -> mechanical energy turns a generator -> generator uses magnets and coils to produce electrical energy.

Generated electricity is stored using methods like: 1. Electrical batteries. 2. Compressed air storage. 3. Hydrogen fuel cells. 4. Pumped storage.
