  3. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

    The generator, which is approximately 34% of the wind turbine cost, includes the electrical generator, [63] [64] the control electronics, and most likely a gearbox (e.g., planetary gear box), [65] adjustable-speed drive, or continuously variable transmission [66] component for converting the low-speed incoming rotation to high-speed rotation ...

  4. Doubly fed electric machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubly_fed_electric_machine

    This is useful for large variable speed wind turbines, because wind speed can change suddenly. When a gust of wind hits a wind turbine, the blades try to speed up, but a synchronous generator is locked to the speed of the power grid and cannot speed up. So large forces are developed in the hub, gearbox, and generator as the power grid pushes back.

  5. Airborne wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airborne_wind_turbine

    An airborne wind turbine is a design concept for a wind turbine with a rotor supported in the air without a tower, [1] thus benefiting from the higher velocity and persistence of wind at high altitudes, while avoiding the expense of tower construction, [2] or the need for slip rings or yaw mechanism. An electrical generator may be on the ground ...

  6. 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-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.

  9. 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 ...
