  2. Cost of electricity by source - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source

    Capital costs tend to be low for gas and oil power stations; moderate for onshore wind turbines and solar PV (photovoltaics); higher for coal plants and higher still for waste-to-energy, wave and tidal, solar thermal, offshore wind and nuclear.

  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] Wind turbines are an increasingly important source of intermittent renewable energy, and are used in many countries to lower energy ...

    Fixed-foundation wind turbines are economically limited to maximum water depths of 40 to 50 metres (130 to 160 ft), [ 8 ] at greater water depths new floating wind turbine designs are required, which currently cost significantly more to build.

    The average wind turbine generates enough electricity in 46 minutes to power the average American home for one month. [ 3 ] In 2019, wind power surpassed hydroelectric power as the largest renewable energy source in the U.S.

  6. Wind farm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_farm

    A major factor in wind-farm design is the spacing between the turbines, both laterally and axially (with respect to the prevailing winds). The closer the turbines are together, the more the upwind turbines block wind from their rear neighbors (wake effect). However, spacing turbines far apart increases the costs of roads and power cables, and raises the amount of land needed to install a ...

  7. Wind turbine design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine_design

    Wind turbine design is the process of defining the form and configuration of a wind turbine to extract energy from the wind. [1] An installation consists of the 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, stop, and control the turbine. In 1919, German physicist Albert Betz showed ...
