They're connected by cables. The wind spins the turbine - generating electricity. The electricity is fed into the national grid by cables.

How can you generate power using a mini wind turbine?
To generate power using the mini wind turbine you will have to install a small wind turbine and connect it to the grid.
What is a wind turnbind?
A wind turbine is a form of electric generation. On top of a tall pole there is a turbine (fan thing) and the wind spins it around. The turbine is connected to a motor which generates an electromagnetic flow from the motion.
Do you know what a wind power generator is?
In fact, I just happen to know a bit about wind power generators. A wind power generator is a turbine connected to a transistor mounted on a large pole. As the wind causes the turbine to turn, the mechanical energy of the rotation is transferred into electrical power by the sophisticated transistors mounted in the generator. That electrical energy runs from the generators to the power grid thus supplying the world with power.
How is energy produced from a wind turbine?
It does NOT "produce" energy. That would break a fundamental law of physics! It converts some mechanical energy from the wind into electrical energy. The turbine is connected by speed-increasing gears to an alternator whose output is fed via a suitable control system into the grid or, at a small, purely local scale, the building(s) using it.
What does the shaft in a wind turbine do?
The shaft is the part that gets turned by the turbine blades. It in turn is connected to the generator within the main housing.
Where can you get a device that will prevent a car battery from being overcharged when connected to a wind turbine?
charge controller
How is wind energy havested?
Wind energy is harvested by a windmill. It is also called a turbine. Windmills have been connected to machinery to grind grain or pump water. They are also connected to electric generators. The electricity is sent to a grid. Sometimes the electricity is used as it is produced. If a hydroelectric dam is nearby, the electricity can be used to back pump water and then hydroelectric energy is available when it is needed. That way wind energy is stored.
Is a turbine a large wheel that rotates when pushed by water wind or steam?
Yes, a turbine is a large wheel that rotates when pushed by water, wind, or steam. It is connected to the dynamo (alternator) that generates electric power.
Is wind energy processed in a power plant?
Nope, wind energy is produced by wind turbines and connected to an electrical grid which people who are call Dispatchers then dispatch this collected energy into powerlines etc....The only common things between wind energy and a power plant is :1. produce electricity2. both connected to the electrical grid
Where can you get a wind turbine model?
Amazon has a Solar Wind Turbine Model for less than $50 and also a USB Wind Turbine Model for the same price. With the solar model the blades spin when sunlight hits the solar panels and with the usb model the blades will spin when connected to a usb port.
What does a wind turbine make?
A wind turbine makes wind for scientific study.
How does wind power produce electricity?
In essence, the wind turbine collects kinetic energy from the wind and transfers it to the generator. The blades on the turbine turn as the wind blows. As these blades move, they rotate a shaft connected to the rotor of a generator. The spinning magnets of the generator convert that rotational energy into electricity.
