Wind force has long been used for different purposes, including windmills and sailboats. Wind occurs all over the world and can be used to produce clean, renewable electricity.
Coastal areas or hilltops are ideal for wind turbines, which convert mechanical energy into electricity. However, current research is focusing on developing offshore wind farms in a search for efficiency. With these new facilities, wind-based electricity production is set to reach a decisive turning point and offer a real alternative to conventional industries in this sector.
Wind turbines, relaying the force of the wind
Wind turbines capture the force of the wind and convert it into electricity. These high-tech facilities operate like mini power plants.
