Kinetic
energy is that form of the energy which produces from wind and it can be
harvested and converted into electricity. The wind turbines are superb machines
by which we convert kinetic energy into the electricity. The mechanical device
which converts kinetic energy to electrical energy is called “Generator”. Larger
wind turbines units typically utilize wind
sensors and 'servo' motors while smaller wind turbines are powered by a single
wind 'vane'.
Horizontal
axis wind turbines have gearboxes; the function of gearboxes is to turn the
blades and it rotates blades more quickly and facilitating better energy for
the electrical generator.
The
blades in vertical wind turbines are arranged in a vertical manner to the rotor
shafts. You can produce good energy from the vertical wind turbines if the
blades of the turbine are pointed into the wind direction. You can still
produce the electricity from the vertical turbine if the direction of wind is
altered. So the vertical axis turbines have a lot of advantages.
