Wind turbines are devices that are capable of converting kinetic energy from the wind into electricity. Varying sizes of turbines can be placed on land or at sea in order to generate significant quantities of electricity. You can even generate electricity at home with the help of domestic wind turbines.
In this section you’ll find various articles covering the different topics of wind turbines.
