English: A turbine and gear box are mounted in a casing called a nacelle, and rotor blades are attached to the turbine. The turbine localizes the energy of the turning rotor blades in a single rotating shaft that generates electricity.
A wind turbine is a device that converts the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy. As of 2020, hundreds of thousands of large turbines, in installations known as wind farms, were generating over 650 gigawatts of power, with 60 GW added each year. [1]

Enercon E-126 wind turbine. The Enercon E-126 [1] is an onshore [2] [3] wind turbine model manufactured by the German company Enercon.With a hub height of 135 m (443 ft), rotor diameter of 126 m (413 ft) and a total height of 198 m (650 ft), the turbine can generate up to 7.58 megawatts of power, making it the largest wind turbine in the world (by nameplate capacity) for several years, until ...
The wind farm is designed to produce 35-MW of electricity, enough to power 16,000 homes in New York. Power is being sold into the NYS ISO grid for sale to retail customers. This is one of the largest urban wind power developments in the world, and its wind turbines are harnessing the power of the steady winds that blow from Lake Erie. [7]
Wind turbine design is the process of defining the form and specifications of a wind turbine to extract energy from the wind. [181] A wind turbine installation consists of the necessary systems needed to capture the wind's energy, point the turbine into the wind, convert mechanical rotation into electrical power , and other systems to start ...
