Best Answer

Wind contains kinetic energy. When the wind enters the turbine, the kinetic energy is converted to mechanical energy. Then the energy goes through a generator that makes it into electrical energy (electricity).

In simpler terms:

The wind passing the blades of the turbine spin the shaft that is connected to the generator (kinetic to mechanical energy conversion). The spinning generator produces electricity (mechanical to electric energy conversion).

Is a turbine a wind energy?

YES But only if you don't consider the massive amounts of energy required to make the wind turbine and get it into position. The actual energy conversion from wind to electricity is not great but it is free.
