2. List of most powerful wind turbines - Wikipedia

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

   All the most powerful turbines are offshore wind turbines. 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 ...

3. Small wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_wind_turbine

   Small wind turbines, also known as micro wind turbines or urban wind turbines, are wind turbines that generate electricity for small-scale use. These turbines are typically smaller than those found in wind farms. Small wind turbines often have passive yaw systems as opposed to active ones. They use a direct drive generator and use a tail fin to ...

   Mingyang Wind Power (China) Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (Japan) Končar (Croatia) Mapna (Iran) Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (Germany/Spain) STX Windpower (South Korea / The Netherlands) TECO (Taiwan) Vergnet (France) Vestas (Denmark) – the world's largest manufacturer of wind turbines [3]

5. Vertical-axis wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical-axis_wind_turbine

   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 and gearbox to be located close to the ground, facilitating service and repair.

6. Wind power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power

   Wind power is the use of wind energy to generate useful work. 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 ...

7. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

   Wind Power Density (WPD) is a quantitative measure of wind energy available at any location. It is the mean annual power available per square meter of swept area of a turbine, and is calculated for different heights above ground. Calculation of wind power density includes the effect of wind velocity and air density.
