Wind farm technology has revolutionized the renewable energy landscape, transforming from simple grain-grinding windmills to sophisticated multi-megawatt power
Wind power is the use of wind energy to generate useful work. Historically, wind power was used by sails, windmills and windpumps, but today it is mostly used to generate electricity.
A: wind turbine consists of several key components, including the rotor blades, nacelle, generator, gearbox, yaw system, and control systems. The rotor blades capture wind
