  2. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

    The generator, which is approximately 34% of the wind turbine cost, includes the electrical generator, [64] [65] the control electronics, and most likely a gearbox (e.g., planetary gear box), [66] adjustable-speed drive, or continuously variable transmission [67] component for converting the low-speed incoming rotation to high-speed rotation ...

    An example of a wind turbine, this 3 bladed turbine is the classic design of modern wind turbines Wind turbine components : 1-Foundation, 2-Connection to the electric grid, 3-Tower, 4-Access ladder, 5-Wind orientation control (Yaw control), 6-Nacelle, 7-Generator, 8-Anemometer, 9-Electric or Mechanical Brake, 10-Gearbox, 11-Rotor blade, 12-Blade pitch control, 13-Rotor hub

  4. Windbelt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windbelt

    The inventor's claims that the device is 10–30 times more efficient than small wind turbines have been refuted by tests. [2] The microWindbelt could generate 0.2 mW at a wind speed of 3.5 m/s and 5 mW at 7.5 m/s, which represent efficiencies (ηC p) of 0.21 and 0.53 respectively. Wind turbines typically have efficiencies of 1% to 10%.

  5. Wind power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power

    Wind turbines are typically installed in windy locations. In the image, wind power generators in Spain, near an Osborne bull. Roscoe Wind Farm: an onshore wind farm in West Texas near Roscoe. Wind power is variable, and during low wind periods, it may need to be replaced by other power sources.

  6. History of wind power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_wind_power

    The MOD-2 wind turbine cluster of three turbines produced 7.5 megawatts of power in 1981. In 1987, the MOD-5B was the largest single wind turbine operating in the world with a rotor diameter of nearly 100 meters and a rated power of 3.2 megawatts. It demonstrated an availability of 95 percent, an unparalleled level for a new first-unit wind ...

  7. Variable speed wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_speed_wind_turbine

    An advantage of a gearbox is that generators are typically designed to have the rotor rotating at a high speed within the stator. Direct drive wind turbines do not exhibit this feature. A disadvantage of a gearbox is reliability and failure rates. [4] An example of a wind turbine without a gearbox is the Enercon E82. [5]

  8. Wind farm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_farm

    A wind farm or wind park, 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 hundred wind turbines covering an extensive area.

  9. Electric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

    A regular AC non-simultaneous motor usually can be used as a generator, without any changes to its parts. Induction generators are useful in applications like minihydro power plants, wind turbines, or in reducing high-pressure gas streams to lower pressure, because they can recover energy with relatively simple controls.
