Wind turbines add power to the grid, so some of the power in your house came from wind farms. The City of Calgary AB wanted it's light rail system to be green so they budgeted enough wind turbines to generate power to run the system. there is no direct connection to the wind farm, but the farm adds more power to the grid than the trains remove.

Gear box is connected in between the Rotor and Generator of the turbine.The power from the rotation of the wind turbine rotor is transferred to the
generatorthrough the power train, i.e. through the main shaft, the gearbox and the high speed shaft.

How is the energy in wind generated?
wind turbins duh ---------- The Sun heats the atmosphere, more at the equator, less at the poles, causing the air or atmosphere to flow from high energy areas to low energy areas. If the sun would shut off the wind would be reduced significantly, but not to zero. There are other contributing effects but the sun is the largest.
