It is composed of a steel tower, blades,a wind sensor, a generator(1.5-5MW) and a computer.
As can be seen, three enormous blades, which are made of fiberglass or wood, are connected to a massive steel tower. In the first stage of the process, due to a strong flow of wind, the blades start spinning. As a consequence, wind sensors track turbine performance and rate of movement. Following this, the generator converts the mechanical energy generated by the rotating blades into electrical energy.
The right diagram titled ‘wind turbines: optimum locations’ presents the same wind turbine. Nonetheless, its location is different that in the first diagram. The rotor machine is placed on hilly terrain, with a house on the lower left side. In the first design, the turbine is located on a flat surface and generates a standard quantity of energy. As an alternative, the machine can be placed on higher, untouched landscape where there is maximum wind strength and maximum of energy is produced.
In conclusion, the diagrams illustrate two designs for wind turbines, highlighting their structure and optimal placement for energy generation. The first diagram outlines the components and functioning of a turbine located on a flat surface, while the second diagram suggests that positioning the turbine on elevated, unspoiled land can enhance its efficiency by maximizing wind exposure. Overall, the placement of wind turbines plays a crucial role in their performance and energy output.
