Wind contains kinetic energy. When the wind enters the turbine, the kinetic energy is converted to mechanical energy. Then the energy goes through a generator that makes it into electrical energy (electricity).

In simpler terms:

The wind passing the blades of the turbine spin the shaft that is connected to the generator (kinetic to mechanical energy conversion). The spinning generator produces electricity (mechanical to electric energy conversion).

What does a turbine blade do to the speed of wind?

A turbine blade slows down the speed of wind as it passes through, converting the kinetic energy of the wind into rotational energy to drive the turbine. The amount of speed reduction depends on the design and size of the turbine blade.


Is a turbine a wind energy?

YES But only if you don't consider the massive amounts of energy required to make the wind turbine and get it into position. The actual energy conversion from wind to electricity is not great but it is free.

What does a wind turbine turn kinetic energy into?

A wind turbine turns kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy by rotating the turbine blades. The mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy by a generator inside the turbine.

What powers a wind turbine?

The wind turbine converts kinetic energy into wind, which then turns into wind and then mechanical energy. The energy is converted to an electrical generator through a shaft which turns it into electrical energy, or in other words, electricity.

Energy transformation that occur during the operation of wind turbine?

During the operation of a wind turbine, the wind spins the blades of the turbine. Therefore, the energy is transferred into the turbine, which generates electricity. A generator is a machine that produces electrical energy from mechanical energy. And so as a result, the wind energy turns into mechanical energy and turns into electric energy. Does that help?
