Abstract:Modern wind turbines capture the kinetic energy of moving air and convert it into shaft power to drive an electrical generator/alternator. The turbine is typically comprised of three basic parts: the rotor, the nacelle, and the tower. The rotor includes the turbine's blades (most often 3 in horizontal wind axis turbines) and the nose cone/hub. The nacelle contains the driveshaft, transmission a, the unit's generator/alternator, the electronic controls to convert the generators or alternator's electrical output… Show more
