I need some help with a 40 page project on wind power, so please try to describe how it works in most detail.

A wind generator in which the crank of the windmill is connected to the armature of an electric generator to produce electricity. a large no. of wind generator when arranged together ar called wind energy farms. The largest wind energy farm is located in LAMBA in GUJARAT. For more details take the help of Wikipedia.

Basically the moving air deflects off the blades and causes them to turn. This rotation is mechanically coupled to a generator or dynamo, which rotates. Inside the generator there are coils of wire rotating in a magnetic field causes by (usually) a set of permanent magnets.



This motion of coils of wire in a magnetic field causes a current to flow in the coil, and that is connected to the AC power lines.



You can get a lot more info by looking up generator or dynamo on wikipedia. Or wind turbines for that matter.

The turbine converts wind energy into mechanical energy which basically spins a magnet inside a coil which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy.

i think of hence (yet i'm not a hundred% particular): Kinetic power from the wind is used to teach the blades, which rotate around a "element". on the centre of the blades is a shaft it somewhat is became by making use of the blades moving. This shaft is going back into the form the place its reliable electromagnetic properties generate electrical energy because it rotates. This electrical energy is generated via a effectual magnet interior the turbine appearing on the shaft's electromagnetism. The electrical energy is each and every each and every now and then "converted" by a step-down transformer that enables the electrical powered energy to flow to the national Grid, the place the electrical powered energy is further allotted between properties and places of work. back, i'm unable to promise you it is a hundred% the final option, yet i think of that a minimum of maximum of it somewhat is right. :)
