Wind Turbine Generator

A wind turbine generator is a device that converts the kinetic energy of the wind into usable electricity. They range in size from small units that can be used to generate power for a single home or large enough to power an entire neighborhood. Wind farms typically use many large turbines in order to generate huge amounts of electricity.

Windmills have been used for centuries as a means of providing mechanical energy for everything from grinding grain to pumping water. However, the wind turbine generator is a relatively new invention, having been introduced in the late 19th century. Since that time they have become an increasingly popular source of cheap, renewable energy.

A wind turbine generator can be an effective means of producing electricity for a home. Small turbines are commonly used on farms and other rural areas that are not connected to a commercial power grid. They have proved to be quite effective where other forms of energy production are not viable.
