prezi.com › p › ovqmbf6p-kuvFeb 05, 2019 · Wind energy: wind being used to generate mechanical power or electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. The wind turns the blades of the turbines, which spins a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. Wind farms: wind turbines grouped into a single wind power plant and generates ...

https://windexchange.energy.gov/files/docs/wind-energ…Wind energy is plentiful and readily available, and capturing its power does not deplete our natural resources. At the end of 2017, nearly 89 gigawatts of wind energy were installed across the United States.* Analysis indicates that by 2020, the installed capacity of wind energy in the United States could reach 113 gigawatts, or 10% of annual ...

https://www.geolsoc.org.uk/~/media/shared/documents/e…Wind turbines are built to harness wind energy (kinetic energy). When the wind blows the blades move and spin a turbine connected to a generator which produces electricity. Wind turbines essentially work in the opposite way to a fan, instead of using electricity to make wind, they use wind to make electricity.
