4 FAQs about Animation demonstration of wind power station power generation principle

How do wind turbines work?

Wind turbines harness the wind—a free and widely available renewable energy source—to generate electric power. The animation below is interactive. You can start and stop the turbine's movement, hover over parts to see their description, and use the icons in the lower right corner of the animation to switch views.

What is a windmill & how does it work?

The windmill, which converts wind into rotational energy to mill grain or pump water, has been around since antiquity. It's even been claimed that Ancient Babylonians planned to harness wind as early as almost 4,000 years ago, as part of a scheme for one of Hammurabi's ambitious irrigation projects.

Where did wind energy come from?

By the end of the 19th century, wind energy took on a whole new meaning as engineers in Scotland, Denmark, and the United States invented the first wind turbines that generated electricity. Many technological improvements have been made since, and now modern wind farms dot the landscapes of countries around the world.

How is exciter current controlled in a wind turbine?

The exciter current is controlled by a turbine controller which senses the wind speed. Then output voltage of electrical generator (alternator) is given to a rectifier where the alternator output gets rectified to DC.
