English: A turbine and gear box are mounted in a casing called a nacelle, and rotor blades are attached to the turbine. The turbine localizes the energy of the turning rotor blades in a single rotating shaft that generates electricity.
English: Illustration of a tension leg mooring for a floating wind turbine. Left-hand side: free-floating, cables (red) not under tension Right-hand side: cables have been tensioned ballasted floating structure (grey) with wind turbine tower atop (white and yellow) underwater cables (red) connect seabed anchors (light grey) with lower legs
The necessary yawing torque was created by means of animal power, human power or even wind power (implementation of an auxiliary rotor known as fantail). Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) do not need a yaw system since their vertical rotors can face the wind from any direction and only their self rotation gives the blades a clear direction of ...

A wind turbine is a device that converts the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy. As of 2020, hundreds of thousands of large turbines, in installations known as wind farms, were generating over 650 gigawatts of power, with 60 GW added each year. [1]
Wind turbine design is the process of defining the form and specifications of a wind turbine to extract energy from the wind. [181] A wind turbine installation consists of the necessary systems needed to capture the wind's energy, point the turbine into the wind, convert mechanical rotation into electrical power, and other systems to start ...
An airborne wind turbine is a design concept for a wind turbine with a rotor supported in the air without a tower, [1] thus benefiting from the higher velocity and persistence of wind at high altitudes, while avoiding the expense of tower construction, [2] or the need for slip rings or yaw mechanism. An electrical generator may be on the ground ...
