4. Wind power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power

   Although wind turbines with fixed bases are a mature technology and new installations are generally no longer subsidized, [137] [138] floating wind turbines are a relatively new technology so some governments subsidize them, for example to use deeper waters. [139] Fossil fuel subsidies by some governments are slowing the growth of renewables. [140]

5. Outline of wind energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_wind_energy

   Wind turbine aerodynamics – the power, F, is the force vector, and U is the speed of the moving wind turbine part. Wind turbine design – the process of defining the form and specifications of a wind turbine to extract energy from the wind. Types of wind turbines

6. 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.

7. Variable speed wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_speed_wind_turbine

   A variable speed wind turbine is one which is specifically designed to operate over a wide range of rotor speeds. It is in direct contrast to fixed speed wind turbine where the rotor speed is approximately constant. The reason to vary the rotor speed is to capture the maximum aerodynamic power in the wind, as the wind speed varies.

8. Portal:Wind power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Wind_power

   Historically, wind power was used by sails, windmills and windpumps, but today it is mostly used to generate electricity. This article deals only with wind power for electricity generation. Today, wind power is generated almost completely with wind turbines, generally grouped into wind farms and connected to the electrical grid.

9. 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 ...
