The Gansu Wind Farm in China is the largest wind farm in the world, with a target capacity of 20,000 MW by 2020. A wind farm or wind park, also called a wind power station or wind power plant, [1] is a group of wind turbines in the same location used to produce electricity. Wind farms vary in size from a small number of turbines to several ...

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 ...
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 power is a branch of the energy industry that has expanded quickly in the United States over the last several years. [ 1 ] From January through December 2023, 425.2 terawatt-hours were generated by wind power, or 10.18% of electricity in the United States. [ 2 ] The average wind turbine generates enough electricity in 46 minutes to power ...
This is a list of the onshore wind farms that are larger than 250 MW in current nameplate capacity. Many of these wind farms have been built in stages, and construction of a further stage may be continuing at some of these sites. The Gansu Wind Farm in China is the largest wind farm in the world, with a target capacity of 20,000 MW by 2020.
Offshore wind power or offshore wind energy is the generation of electricity through wind farms in bodies of water, usually at sea. There are higher wind speeds offshore than on land, so offshore farms generate more electricity per amount of capacity installed. [1] Offshore wind farms are also less controversial [2] than those on land, as they ...
