Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy.

China has the largest installed capacity of wind power, followed by the United States, Germany, and India.

The Mingyang Smart Energy MySE 16.0-242 is the largest wind turbine in the world, with a capacity of 16 MW.

The average capacity factor of a wind turbine is typically between 30-40%, meaning that it produces electricity about 30-40% of the time.

Wind energy is intermittent, meaning that it is not always available when it is needed. It can also be expensive to install and maintain wind turbines. Additionally, wind turbines can have a visual impact on the landscape and can generate noise pollution.

The intermittency of wind energy can be addressed through a combination of energy storage, demand response, and grid integration.

Wind energy is a major source of renewable energy, and it is a growing and cost-effective source of energy.

Wind energy does not produce greenhouse gases, air pollution, or water pollution.

Wind energy creates jobs, reduces energy costs, and improves energy security.

Wind energy is expected to grow rapidly, become a major source of energy, and become a cost-competitive source of energy.

The United States has the highest wind power density, followed by China, Germany, and India.

The Betz limit is the maximum efficiency of a wind turbine, which is approximately 59.3%.

Horizontal axis wind turbines have blades that rotate around a horizontal axis, while vertical axis wind turbines have blades that rotate around a vertical axis.

The main components of a wind turbine are the blades, rotor, nacelle, and tower.

The role of the wind turbine gearbox is to increase the speed of the rotor.
