Introduction. For thousands of years, people have been using wind energy to do work—from traveling around the world on sailboats to milling grain using windmills. Today, wind is becoming more common as a renewable energy source through the use of wind turbines. Wind turbines have three basic parts–a tower, blades, and a generator.

Chapter 6: Small Wind Turbines Introduction. Small wind turbines (SWT) are used in two main areas: ‘Autonomous’ electrical systems (also called ‘stand-alone’, ‘grid-isolated’ or ‘off-grid’), i.e. those that are not connected to any larger electrical system and are therefore solely responsible for the control of voltage and frequency

Wind power is the process of harnessing energy from the movement of the wind and converting it to useful forms of mechanical power and electricity. Today, most wind energy comes from turbines – essentially giant windmills. The wind turns two or three of the turbine’s propeller-like blades around the turbine’s rotor.
