  2. 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 ...

  3. Savonius wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savonius_wind_turbine

    The Savonius wind turbine was invented by the Finnish engineer Sigurd Johannes Savonius in 1922 and patented in 1926. [1][2] Europeans had earlier experimented with curved blades on vertical wind turbines for many decades. The earliest mention is by the Bishop of Csanád County, Fausto Veranzio, who was also an engineer.

  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 [update], 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. Markbygden Wind Farm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markbygden_Wind_Farm

    The Markbygden Wind Farm is a series of interconnected wind farms in the Markbygden area west of Piteå, Norrbotten County in northern Sweden. The project is expected to be completed by 2025 and could have a total capacity of up to 4,000 megawatts (MW), comprising up to 1,101 wind turbines. The project was initially co-developed by Svevind AB ...

  6. Offshore wind power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_wind_power

    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 ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Wind power by country - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power_by_country

    China alone had over 40% of the world's capacity by 2022. [ 3 ] Wind power is used on a commercial basis in more than half of all the countries of the world. [ 4 ] Denmark produced 55% of its electricity from wind in 2022, a larger share than any other country. Latvia's wind capacity grew by 75%, the largest percent increase in 2022.

  9. Vortex generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_generator

    A vortex generator (VG) is an aerodynamic device, consisting of a small vane usually attached to a lifting surface (or airfoil, such as an aircraft wing) [ 1 ] or a rotor blade of a wind turbine. [ 2 ] VGs may also be attached to some part of an aerodynamic vehicle such as an aircraft fuselage or a car. When the airfoil or the body is in motion ...
