Wind Turbines - Page 9

Wind turbines are devices that convert kinetic energy from wind into mechanical energy, which can then be transformed into electrical energy. They consist of large blades mounted on a tall tower; as wind flows over the blades, it causes them to spin, driving a generator that produces electricity. Wind turbines are a key component of wind energy technology and play an essential role in renewable energy generation. They can be deployed in various settings, including onshore (land-based) and offshore (in bodies of water) installations. Wind turbines contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels, making them an important asset in efforts to combat climate change and promote sustainable energy practices.
