Wind Turbines
A wind farm is made up of a multitude of wind turbines, which are responsible for transforming the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy.
A wind turbine is made up of the following elements: the tower, normally cylindrical, which supports the weight of the rest of the elements by raising them to a height where the wind flows are more intense; the rotor, formed in turn by the blades, the hub and the nose, is the element that is in contact with the wind causing it to turn; the nacelle is the casing where the generator and the gearbox are housed; the gearbox or multiplier, whose function is to increase the revolutions per minute of rotation of the system to reach the number necessary for the production of electricity; and the generator, the element that transforms the mechanical energy of the multiplier into electricity.
This is renewable energy, as the source used for its generation requires no combustion.
