A wind turbine, which is installed on top of a tall tower, collects kinetic energy from the wind and converts it to electricity that is compatible with a home's electrical system.In a normal residential application, a home is served simultaneously by the wind turbine and a local utility. If the wind speeds are below the wind turbine's start up speed there will be no output from the turbine and all of the needed power is purchased from the utility. As wind speeds increase, turbine output increases and the amount of power purchased from the utility is proportionately decreased. When the turbine produces more power than the house needs, the extra electricity is sold to the utility (net metering). All of this is done automatically.
What else can I help you with?
Windmills produce electricity by using what source of energy?
Windmills produce electricity by harnessing the kinetic energy of the wind. The wind causes the blades of the windmill to rotate, which in turn drives a generator to produce electricity.
What is the device that uses wind to produce energy?
A wind turbine is a device that uses the force of the wind to generate electricity. Wind turbines have blades that spin when the wind blows, turning a generator to produce electricity.
What do wind turbines generate?
Wind turbines generate electricity by converting the kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy using the rotor blades, which then turns a generator to produce electricity.
How can wind and flowing water produce electricity?
Wind and flowing water can produce electricity through turbines. In the case of wind energy, wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical power that drives a generator to produce electricity. With flowing water, hydroelectric turbines are used to convert the potential energy of the moving water into electricity.
How wind is used to produce electricity?
Turbines are built in large lots. As wind blows, they turn. These are connected to "power outlets" these outlets lead to homes. As the turbines turn mechanical energy turns into electricity and powers our homes.Imagine it as a large mill that turns as water flows through it, and is used to produce bread
How does a wind turbines produce electricity for the community?

Aerogenerators are used to produce electricity from?
wind
What resource is directly being used to produce electricity by wind?
wind mills
Where is wind harvested?
Wind turbines and wind farms harvest wind energy to produce electricity. This is happening in many countries. Scotland is an example.
Why are wind farms built?
wind farms are built to produce electricity through wind power
One problem with wind energy as a major source of electricity is?
The problem with wind energy is that it does not produce much electricity. Wind does not flow at all places. So having wind energy as a major source of electricity is not a option.
What do wind turbines generate?
Wind turbines generate electricity by converting the kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy using the rotor blades, which then turns a generator to produce electricity.
Why Farms are built?
wind farms are built to produce electricity through wind power
