What Are Wind Energy Systems? How Do They Work and Where Are They Used?
As the importance of renewable energy sources continues to grow, wind energy systems stand out as a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy solution. Preferred in both large-scale power generation plants and smaller local applications, these systems offer an eco-friendly response to energy needs by reducing carbon emissions.
In modern wind energy fields, generation stations and communication infrastructure operate in an integrated manner.
How Do Wind Energy Systems Work?
Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy, and then into electrical energy. The main components of the system are as follows:
Wind Turbine: Enables rotational motion as wind hits the blades.
Generator: Converts rotational motion into electrical energy.
Control Systems: Monitor turbine angle, speed, and output values.
SCADA Systems: Allow remote monitoring and management of the entire system.
