3. Small wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_wind_turbine

   Turbine blades for small-scale wind turbines are typically 1.5 to 3.5 metres (4 ft 11 in – 11 ft 6 in) in diameter and produce 0.5-10 kW at their optimal wind speed. [1] Most small wind turbines are horizontal-axis wind turbines , [ 2 ] but vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) may have benefits in maintenance and placement, although they are ...

4. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

   Wind farm waste is less toxic than other garbage. Wind turbine blades represent only a fraction of overall waste in the US, according to the wind-industry trade association, American Wind Energy Association. [109] Several utilities, startup companies, and researchers are developing methods for reusing or recycling blades. [107]

5. Wind power - Wikipedia

   Not including these effects, modern wind turbines kill about 0.273 birds per GWh in comparison with 0.200 by coal power plants. [124] The effects of wind turbines on birds can be mitigated with proper wildlife monitoring. [125] Many wind turbine blades are made of fiberglass, and have a lifetime of 20 years. [126]

   The average size of turbines installed was 6.8 MW in 2018, 7.2 MW in 2019 and 8.2 MW in 2020. ... To limit the effects of corrosion on the blades of a wind turbine, a ...

7. Wind-turbine aerodynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind-turbine_aerodynamics

   Wind-turbine blades in laydown yard awaiting installation. The primary application of wind turbines is to generate energy using the wind. Hence, the aerodynamics is a very important aspect of wind turbines. Like most machines, wind turbines come in many different types, all of them based on different energy extraction concepts.

8. Turbine blade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbine_blade

   A turbine blade is a radial aerofoil mounted in the rim of a turbine disc and which produces a tangential force which rotates a turbine rotor. [2] Each turbine disc has many blades. [ 3 ] As such they are used in gas turbine engines and steam turbines .

9. Vertical-axis wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical-axis_wind_turbine

   The world's tallest vertical-axis wind turbine, in Cap-Chat, Quebec Vortexis schematic Vertical axis wind turbine offshore. A vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) is a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft is set transverse to the wind while the main components are located at the base of the turbine. This arrangement allows the generator ...
