5.1.2 Wind Power—Transformation of Kinetic Energy

Wind power has experienced an explosive growth over the past three to four decades, with wind turbines evolving from simple, small kilowatt-capacity fans to large, complex megawatt-scale sophisticated machines utilizing advanced geometries and materials for the blades. Wind turbines convert the translational kinetic energy of wind to rotational energy which is then converted into electrical energy. The rate at which kinetic energy is transported by wind, or the power contained in the wind, is given by equation 5.4 [9].
