3. Small wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_wind_turbine

   Turbine blades for small-scale wind turbines are typically 1.5 to 3.5 metres (4 ft 11 in – 11 ft 6 in) in diameter and produce 0.5-10 kW at their optimal wind speed. [1] Most small wind turbines are horizontal-axis wind turbines , [ 2 ] but vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) may have benefits in maintenance and placement, although they are ...

4. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

   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]

5. Wind power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power

   Wind turbine design is the process of defining the form and specifications of a wind turbine to extract energy from the wind. [181] A wind turbine installation consists of the necessary systems needed to capture the wind's energy, point the turbine into the wind, convert mechanical rotation into electrical power , and other systems to start ...

7. Darrieus wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darrieus_wind_turbine

   The Darrieus wind turbine is a type of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) used to generate electricity from wind energy. The turbine consists of a number of curved aerofoil blades mounted on a rotating shaft or framework. The curvature of the blades allows the blade to be stressed only in tension at high rotating speeds. There are several ...
