  2. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

    Nashtifan wind turbines in Sistan, Iran. The windwheel of Hero of Alexandria (10–70 CE) marks one of the first recorded instances of wind powering a machine. [5] However, the first known practical wind power plants were built in Sistan, an Eastern province of Persia (now Iran), from the 7th century.

  6. Yaw system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw_system

    The necessary yawing torque was created by means of animal power, human power or even wind power (implementation of an auxiliary rotor known as fantail). Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) do not need a yaw system since their vertical rotors can face the wind from any direction and only their self rotation gives the blades a clear direction of ...

  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. Wind power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power

    Wind power is considered a sustainable, renewable energy source, and has a much smaller impact on the environment compared to burning fossil fuels. Wind power is variable, so it needs energy storage or other dispatchable generation energy sources to attain a reliable supply of electricity. Land-based (onshore) wind farms have a greater visual ...

  9. Yaw drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw_drive

    The yaw drive is an important component of the horizontal axis wind turbines' yaw system. To ensure the wind turbine is producing the maximal amount of electric energy at all times, the yaw drive is used to keep the rotor facing into the wind as the wind direction changes. This only applies for wind turbines with a horizontal
