Question

Explain wind power? (5)

Answer 1

Dear Student,

Wind power is a kind of energy conversion in which turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical or electrical energy that can be used for power. Wind power is considered a renewable energy source. Modern commercial wind turbines produce electricity by using rotational energy to drive a generator. They are made up of a blade or rotor and an enclosure called a nacelle that contains a drive train atop a tall tower. Wind farms are areas where a number of wind turbines are grouped together, providing a larger total energy source.
