Wind turbines
The main function of wind turbines is to convert the wind’s kinetic energy into electrical power. Energy generated from wind turbines is undoubtedly one of the cleanest forms of producing electrical power from a renewable source. Wind turbines can be used to generate large amounts of electricity in wind farms. Wind power is considered one of the fastest growing sources of electricity in the world. Newly installed wind power capacity worldwide reached approximately 93.6 gigawatts in 2021.
