How does the blades on a wind turbine contribute to the energy change?

wind pushes on the blades of the wind turbine which pass on this motion to the generator to produce electricity. The energy and the speed of a wind turbine depend on the blade pitch control which depends on the angel of the blade chord to the plane of rotation. The blade pitch determines the speed of the turbine which also depends on the wind speed. Energy is directly proportional to the speed of the turbine. Therefore, the energy produced by a turbine depends on both the wind speed and the blade pitch angle. By: Amin Elsersawi


Stall control wind turbine?

Stall control when related to wind turbines is actually the angle of the turbine blade. This angle is adjusted with the direction and speed of the wind.Ê


Should wind turbine blades be straight or on an angle?

If the wind turbine is generating, then the blade angle will be angled. The only time the blades will be feathered (turned so that they face straight into the wind allowing the wind pressure to be equal on both the front and back side of the blades) is when the generator is being serviced. In this position the blades will not try to turn.This angulation of the blades is a variant of the wind speed, the stronger the wind the finer the pitch on the blade. The lighter the wind the more course the blade pitch will be. It is mandatory that the blades have to have variable pitch. When the generator is operational, the blades are in a constant state of pitch adjustment allowing the generator to remain at a constant rotation speed.As more amperage load is required from the generator, the generator will slow down in rotation. This reduced generator speed is sensed by the generator's governor. The governor sends a signal to the variable pitch control circuitry that the generator is slowing down and to increase the pitch of the blades to bring the generator's speed back to its correct operational speed.


What does a wind turbine make?

A wind turbine makes wind for scientific study.


What things are in the back of a wind turbine?

There are a few things on the backs of Wind Turbines: 1) Anemometers - wind speed sensors that help the turbine fine tune its blade pitch to be most efficient. 2) Wind Vanes - wind direction sensors that keep the turbine lined up with the wind, or turn it away from the wind when the gusts are too strong and can damage the turbine. 3) Visibility Lighting - red and white lights to meet requirements of aviation authorities for visibility.

How is wind created in a wind turbine?

wind is not created by the turbine but wind that passes through the turbine causes it to turn, and the faster the turbine spins the more energy is created that can be turned into electricity and other resources. Hope This Helps :)
