  2. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

    By the 1930s, use of wind turbines in rural areas was declining as the distribution system extended to those areas. [16] A forerunner of modern horizontal-axis wind generators was in service at Yalta, USSR, in 1931. This was a 100 kW generator on a 30-meter (98 ft) tower, connected to the local 6.3 kV distribution system.

    Diagram of a small wind turbine and repeller. A 1 kW micro windmill installed in the suburbs of Lahore, Pakistan. Small wind turbine power output. Small wind turbines, also known as micro wind turbines or urban wind turbines, are wind turbines that generate electricity for small-scale use.

  6. Wind power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power

    The environmental impact of electricity generation from wind power is minor when compared to that of fossil fuel power. [112] Wind turbines have some of the lowest life-cycle greenhouse-gas emissions of energy sources: far less greenhouse gas is emitted than for the average unit of electricity, so wind power helps limit climate change. [113]

  7. Panemone windmill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panemone_windmill

    A diagram of a panemone whose wind-catching panels are arranged to turn edge-on to the wind when moving against the wind's thrust, and side-on when moving downwind to harness the wind's motion. A panemone windmill is a type of vertical-axis wind turbine. It has a rotating axis positioned vertically, while the wind-catching blades move parallel ...

  9. Variable speed wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_speed_wind_turbine

    A variable speed wind turbine is one which is specifically designed to operate over a wide range of rotor speeds. It is in direct contrast to fixed speed wind turbine where the rotor speed is approximately constant. The reason to vary the rotor speed is to capture the maximum aerodynamic power in the wind, as the wind speed varies.
