A typical wind turbine consists of three main parts: the rotor blades, the nacelle (housing the generator and gearbox), and the tower. When wind pushes against the blades, they spin,
Discover the essential wind turbine components with our detailed guide to the anatomy of wind turbines. Learn the main parts, structure, blade sections, electrical elements,
Types of Wind Energy Systems There are three main types of wind energy systems. These are:- grid-connected, grid-connected with battery backup, and off-grid. Types of Wind Energy
Learn all about wind turbines: find key information about how they work, their parts, and the 4 different existing
In the wind farm, each wind turbine captures wind energy through its blades, which then turns a generator to produce power. The more turbines there are, the more energy is generated.
There are three main types of wind: land-based wind, offshore wind, and utility-scale wind. Land-based wind turbines are the most common and are typically erected on open land. Offshore

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 using wind turbines, generally grouped into wind farms and connected to the electrical grid.
The infographic shows the components and how a wind turbine works and how it is connected to the power grid.
A typical wind turbine consists of three main parts: the rotor blades, the nacelle (housing the generator and gearbox), and the tower. When wind
This video highlights the basic principles at work in wind turbines and illustrates how the various components work to capture and convert wind energy to electricity.
