Due to the high consumption of non-renewable resources and the possibility of their depletion, turning to renewable energy sources is very important. One of these energies is wind energy, and a device called a wind turbine is needed to convert wind energy into electricity. In this article, we will introduce wind turbines and their types.
A wind turbine is one of the types of turbines used to convert wind kinetic energy into electrical energy. Wind turbines are made in two types with the horizontal axis and vertical axis.
The first wind turbine to generate electricity was a battery charger built in July 1887 by a Scottish engineer named James Blyth. A few months later, American inventor Charles Francis Brush built the first automatic wind turbine to generate electricity in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1908, 72 wind turbines were used in the United States to generate electricity (between 5 and 25 kW).
Wind turbines are manufactured in a wide range of sizes, with either horizontal or vertical axes. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of large turbines, in installations known as wind farms, now generate over 650 gigawatts of power, with 60 GW added each year. They are an increasingly important source of intermittent renewable energy, and are used in many countries to lower energy costs and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
There are different Types of Wind Turbines, which are:
- HAWT
- VAWT
Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) are one of the types of wind turbines for which rotors rotate a shaft that is installed vertically. Such way of design allows for less sensitivity regarding wind direction, making them the perfect choice for places where the wind direction frequently changes.
