Wind Turbine Energy Transfer. Wind turbines harness the power of the wind and use it to generate electricity. Page 2 template last revised 82812.
How is energy transferred from wind turbines. Wind turbines used near homes are commonly in the 1 to 10 kw range but can be larger. Even though wind seems to be invisible it still has motion and motion means kinetic energy which can be captured.
If the mechanical energy is used directly by machinery such as a pump or grinding stones the machine is usually called a windmill.
Energy and energy transfer. Maximum energy that can be transferred to the blade is limited is 059 of total energy. Students will better understand the process of electrical energy production from wind after using the turbine. Wind turbines wind turbines use the wind to drive turbines directly.
