WIND POWER STATION

WHAT IS WIND POWER

SYSTEM?

• The process which wind is used to generate

electricity
• Wind turbines convert wind energy to
electrical energy
HOW IS ELECTRICITY
“PRODUCED”?
1. The wind turbines uses the blades to collect
the wind’s kinetic energy.
2. Wind flows overs the blades, causing the
blades to turn.
3. The blades connects to the generator, passing
through the gearbox and drive shaft.
4. The electric generator turns on and generates
the electricity.
1-2. Wind energy to kinetic energy
2-3. Kinetic energy to mechanical energy
3-4. Mechanical energy to electrical
energy
