The wind turbine converts energy in the wind to rotary mechanical energy. This is capable with the help of pitch control and yaw control for proper operation. . Wind turbines don't have a traditional “engine” like a car, but they have a rotor, gearbox, and generator that work together to convert wind energy into electricity. As of 2020, hundreds of thousands of large turbines, in installations known as wind farms, were generating over 650 gigawatts of power, with 60 GW added each year. A wind turbine consists of various parts: Rotor: harvests the wind's energy usually with 3. . While solar may be the best-known way to do this, energy from wind turbines is also a valuable and sometimes underrated way to create your own electricity.
