A wind farm.
An Upwind turbine faces into the wind with the turbine blades in front of the Nacelle* while a Downwind turbine has blades to the rear of the Nacelle and faces away from the wind. Up-wind turbines are by far and away the most common, but down-wind turbines (usually two-bladed) are also used in certain situations.In very strong winds the turbine blades of a wind turbine generator flex under enormous forces. With a down-wind turbine the blades flex AWAY from the mast which prevents them from crashing into it. Up-wind turbines need to be designed so that the blades are positioned at a good distance from the mast, and they must also be engineered to be inflexible (which costs more money). In addition, when the blades of a down-wind turbine bend it reduces the stresses on the mast as wind energy is lost in bending the blades. Finally, down-wind turbines do not need a tail (or motorised yaw mechanism) to align them with wind as the turbine blades perform this task (although this can also be a serious disadvantage in large down-wind turbines if wires carrying huge currents are getting twisted).Down-wind turbines on the other hand are generally noisier (additional aerodynamic noise), and the blades are subject to more forces than those of up-wind turbines. Another serious disadvantage of a down-wind turbine is wind shadow behind the mast causing a drop in power each time a blade passed behind the mast.*Nacelle = is located at the top of the mast and contains the rotor and generator, and sometimes a gearbox. Basically it is everything except the turbine blades, tail, and mast.
The controller and mechanical brakes.
yes
Wind turbine
turbine is a one that is rotating motor which delivers the energy to machines
Wind turbines generate renewable energy, yes.A wind turbine is a thing, a machine. We don't use "renewable" about machines. At a push, we use words like "recyclable" or "reuseable".But a wind turbine turns wind into electricity, and wind is a form of renewable energy.
A wind turbine makes wind for scientific study.
steam turbine
a wind turbine generates electricity for or use
A wind turbine is like a giant fan that produces energy from the wind
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 :)
Another name for a windmill is the wind turbine
A wind turbine moves when the wind blows against its blades, causing them to rotate. The rotation of the blades drives a generator inside the turbine, converting the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy.
a wind turbine looks like a giant fan
This is so because when a wind turbine turns or spins it exerts wind
