energy from the moving air which turns large windmills for electricity generation.
power, usually in the form of electricity, derived from the wind.
Wind power is generated through the use of a turbine, usually mounted on a tower. The turbine collects wind energy and converts it to electricity which is transferred to your houses breaker panel, allowing you to rely on your existing utility power supply as only a backup.
Using the wind to produce electricity by turning blades on a wind turbine.
Wind power uses the kinetic energy of flowing air to create mechanical energy in a wind turbine that can be transformed into pollution-free electricity. Learn more about wind power and wind turbines.
( Also see "Wind Energy") Power generated by converting the mechanical energy of the wind into electrical energy through the use of a wind generator.
Energy derived from the wind, usually from windmills.
Harnessing the wind with turbines to produce mechanical power or electricity. The wind turns the blades of a windmill-like machine. The rotating blades turn the shaft to which they are attached. The turning shaft typically can either power a pump or turn a generator, which produces electricity. For producing large amounts of electricity, many machines can be grouped together to form a “wind farm.
is created from the power of wind turning turbine blades to generate electricity, pump water or run mills.
Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into more useful forms, usually electricity using wind turbines. In 2005, worldwide capacity of wind-powered generators was 58,982 megawatts; although it currently produces less than 1% of world-wide electricity use, it accounts for approximately 18% of electricity use in Denmark, 9% in Spain, and 6% in Germany. Globally, wind power generation more than quadrupled between 1999 and 2005.
