A wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, a turbine uses wind to make electricity.
The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. The electricity is sent through transmission and distribution lines to a substation, then on to homes, business and schools.

Is a wind turbine able to make electricity if the wind is not blowing?
No, it only works when the wind is blowing. This is why renewable energy is best with a mix of resources. Solar energy, hydro power and wind are three that together can supply constant power.
Why does wind generate electricity?
Wind itself does not generate electricity, but using wind turbines it is converted into mechanical energy and the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. "Simply stated, a wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan, wind turbines use wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. Take a look inside a wind turbine to see the various parts. View the wind turbine animation to see how a wind turbine works."
What is mean by wind energy?
wind energy is energy that is caused by the wind a example of this is wind turbines
Why is wind energy called solar energy?
Wind energy is not called solar energy. Solar energy is the energy from the sun, while wind energy is just wind energy.
What is called wind energy?
Wind energy is just called wind energy.
How does wind work?
it works by solar power solar energy.
Does wind work?
it works by solar power solar energy.

Are Wind farms used to transform the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy?
Wind turbines (in a wind farm) convert kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy. Not to be confused with wind mills - that turn the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy.
What are 5 differences between solar and wind energy?
solar energy is energy from the sun and wind energy is energy from the wind
How is wind energy derived?
Wind energy is derived from wind mills. These wind mills are powered by the wind and capture it's energy when it blows.
What is classification of wind energy?
Wind energy is renewable energy.
