A wind turbine is a machine that converts kinetic energy from the wind into electricity. The blades of a wind turbine turn between 13 and 20 revolutions per minute, depending on their technology, at a constant or variable velocity, where the velocity of the rotor varies in relation to the velocity of the wind in order to reach a greater efficiency.
Wind turbines have an average life of over 25 years. Rapid evolution of wind technology has lead to an increase in the durability of wind turbines.
How do wind turbines produce energy?
The functioning of a wind turbine can be explained in function of the following phases:
The story of the human race is a fight to manage the elements and make them serve civilization. Tradition and mythology are full of brave people who challenged nature, sometimes with luck and sometimes without, allowing humanity to make an evolutionary leap forward...
