Wind Turbines
Wind turbines can turn the power of wind into the electricity we all use to power our homes and businesses. They can be stand-alone, supplying just one or a very small number of homes or businesses, or they can be clustered to form part of a wind farm. Here we explain how they work and why they are important to the future of energy.
What is a wind turbine?
Wind speed
Stronger winds allow us to produce more electricity
Blade radius
The larger the radius or “swept area” of the blades
Air density
Heavier” air exerts more lift on a rotor
How does a wind turbine work?
There is a wind vane at the top of each turbine: this tells the turbine the speed and direction the wind is blowing.
The turbine then rotates on the tower to face into the wind, and the blades rotate on their axis to create maximum resistance against the wind.
A wind turbine is the very modern version of a windmill. Put simply, it uses the power of the wind to create electricity. Large wind turbines are the most visible, but you can also buy a small wind turbine for individual use, for example to provide power to a caravan or boat.
