  2. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

    Wind Power Density (WPD) is a quantitative measure of wind energy available at any location. It is the mean annual power available per square meter of swept area of a turbine, and is calculated for different heights above ground. Calculation of wind power density includes the effect of wind velocity and air density. [25]

    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. Windmill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windmill

    The windmills at Kinderdijk in the village of Kinderdijk, Netherlands is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A windmill is a structure that converts wind power into rotational energy using vanes called sails or blades, by tradition specifically to mill grain (), but in some parts of the English-speaking world, the term has also been extended to encompass windpumps, wind turbines, and other applications.

  6. Nacelle (wind turbine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nacelle_(wind_turbine)

    A nacelle / n ə ˈ s ɛ l / is a cover housing that houses all of the generating components in a wind turbine, including the generator, gearbox, drive train, and brake assembly. [1]

  7. Yaw system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw_system

    The necessary yawing torque was created by means of animal power, human power or even wind power (implementation of an auxiliary rotor known as fantail). Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) do not need a yaw system since their vertical rotors can face the wind from any direction and only their self rotation gives the blades a clear direction of ...

  8. Yaw drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw_drive

    Schematic representation of a gear rim with teeth on the inner side. The gear rim meshes with four yaw drive pinions.. The gear-rim and the pinions of the yaw drives are the components that finally transmit the turning moment from the yaw drives to the tower in order to turn the nacelle of the wind turbine around the tower axis (z axis).

  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 ...
