2. Airborne wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airborne_wind_turbine

   An airborne wind turbine is a design concept for a wind turbine with a rotor supported in the air without a tower, [1] thus benefiting from the higher velocity and persistence of wind at high altitudes, while avoiding the expense of tower construction, [2] or the need for slip rings or yaw mechanism. An electrical generator may be on the ground ...

3. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

   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]

4. List of most powerful wind turbines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_powerful_wind...

   This list also includes the most powerful onshore wind turbines, although they are relatively small compared to the largest offshore ones. As of June 2024, the most powerful wind turbine in operation is the world's first 18MW semi-direct drive offshore wind turbine, developed by Dongfang Electric Corporation. [1] In October 2024, Dongfang ...

5. Airborne wind energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airborne_wind_energy

   Airborne wind energy (AWE) is the direct use or generation of wind energy by the use of aerodynamic or aerostatic lift devices. AWE technology is able to harvest high altitude winds, in contrast to wind turbines, which use a rotor mounted on a tower. The term high-altitude wind power (HAWP) has been used to refer to AWE systems. [1]

6. Unconventional wind turbines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconventional_wind_turbines

   Counter-rotating wind turbines Light pole wind turbine. Unconventional wind turbines are those that differ significantly from the most common types in use.. As of 2024, the most common type of wind turbine is the three-bladed upwind horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT), where the turbine rotor is at the front of the nacelle and facing the wind upstream of its supporting turbine tower.
