Bookmark or Share- How a Wind Turbine Works - Text Version | Department of EnergyA wind turbine turns wind energy into electricity using the aerodynamic force from the rotor blades, which work like an airplane wing or helicopter rotor blade. When wind flows across the blade, the air pressure on one side of the blade decreases.
- Wind turbine design - WikipediaThe world's largest wind turbine as of 2021 was Vestas ' V236-15.0 MW turbine. The new design's blades offer the largest swept area in the world with three 115.5 metres (379 ft) blades giving a rotor diameter of 236 metres (774 ft). Ming Yang in China have announced a larger 16 MW design.
- The Science Behind Wind Blades and How They WorkWind turbine blades appear in a range of shapes and sizes, and their construction is crucial to the turbine’s efficiency and performance. A well-designed wind turbine blade can greatly increase a wind turbine’s energy production while lowering maintenance and operating expenses.
