The kinetic energy of wind converted into mechanical energy by wind turbines (i.e., blades rotating from a hub) that drive generators to produce electricity for distribution.
Converting the wind into a usable form of energy.
kinetic energy of the air, created by wind and captured by windmills attached to wind turbines. Also used as a term for the generation of electricity in wind farms. Generation of electricity using the speed of the wind to turn the generator sails in particularly windy regions.
energy derived from the kinetic energy of the wind.
Energy from wind motion converted into mechanical energy by the action of a wind turbine driving a generator with its central shaft.
Electricity produced when wind power is captured by turbines and converted into electricity. This is the cheapest and fastest growing renewable energy technology.
(Also see "Wind Power") Power generated by converting the mechanical energy of the wind into electrical energy through the use of a wind generator.
Electrical energy generated by wind driven turbines such as windmills.
Energy present in wind motion that can be converted to mechanical energy for driving pumps, mills, and electric power generators. Wind pushes against sails, vanes, or blades radiating from a central rotating shaft.
Energy available from the movement of the wind across a landscape caused by the heating of the atmosphere, earth, and oceans by the sun.
