Consider the inside of a typical wind turbine nacelle. It will contain a gearbox, electrical controls, a generator, hub mounting, blade controls, and several other major systems.

Innovative drivetrain technology is making it easier to get power from the wind. Back in the ancient times of 10 or 15 years ago, it wasn’t unusual for wind turbines to generate power in the ...

The inside of a wind turbine generator, showing the ring of magnets surrounded by ring of copper wires. ... Draw a diagram to describe: How wind is created from the Sun.

At the back end of the cavernous room, there was the 6-foot-high turbine, a table with some testing equipment, and a truck trailer that had been converted into a low-cost wind tunnel.

While an underwater generator sounds like a nightmare to maintain, Tronstad tells me this is no problem: “Its interior space is all dry and there is ample space for technicians to work inside.” ...

Then we placed the same turbine-generator system (subjected to the same load), again we measured free stream wind speed, wind speed inside the INVELOX, and power.

We’ve all got a pretty good mental image of the traditional wind-powered generator: essentially a big propeller on a stick. Some might also be familiar with vertical wind turbines, which can … ...

Inside the generator, copper coils turn through a magnetic field to convert kinetic energy into electricity. Whitelee Wind Farm, just outside Glasgow, is the biggest onshore wind farm in the UK ...
