Question

Describe the energy in wind and the way in which it’s converted to electrical energy. Write 50 to 100 words.

Answer 1

Humans have found many ways of converting wind to electricity, for example, wind turbines. Wind spins the turbine which powers the generator and creates electricity. Energy is converted from mechanical, to electrical. This is a very popular and well known way of using wind to power homes and establishments. Typically they are built on large plains in which wind blows at a constant speed strong enough to spin the wings of the turbine.

Answer 2

Wind turbines use blades to collect the kinetic energy of the wind. The air flowing over the blades creates a height (similar to the impact of the wings of a plane), causing the blades to rotate. The blades are connected to the drive shaft which converts the electric generator, generating (producing) electricity.

What power in the wind turbine turns into electric power?

The air - even the cool air - makes the blades rotate, creating kinetic energy. The blades rotating in this way also form a shaft in the nacelle curve and the generator in the nacelle converts kinetic energy into electrical energy.
