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.

Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy. They do not convert energy directly back into potential, kinetic, or thermal energy.

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.

Why do hydro electric power stations need to be located at dam walls?

Hydroelectric power stations need to be located at dam walls to take advantage of the potential energy created by the difference in water levels. Water stored in the reservoir behind the dam can be released and flow through turbines located at the base of the dam, generating electricity as the water flows downhill. This setup allows for the conversion of gravitational potential energy into electrical energy.
