Wind is a term used to refer to the flow of gases on a large scale. The wind can be used (with the help of wind turbines) to produce electricity on either a domestic or industrial scale in many parts of the world. Both onshore and offshore wind farms can be used to generate significant quantities of electricity.
In this section you’ll be able to browse a wide variety of articles surrounding topics related to wind energy, wind power and wind turbines.
