READ MOREThis article is the first in a series of info-graphic presentations about nuclear energy. This graphic compares the energy density of nuclear to that of wind power. Wind power is dilute and variable so some may argue this isn''t a fair comparison. Yet, we often read in news stories about a wind turbine being built that "can supply energy for 300

READ MORE• The average power rating of new onshore wind turbines was 3.1 MW. The average power rating of new offshore turbines was 7.2 MW. Country highlights • The UK installed the most wind power capacity in 2019 (2.4 GW). 74% of that was offshore wind. • Spain (2.3 GW), Sweden (1.6 GW) and France (1.3 GW) led the installation of onshore wind farms.
READ MOREThe dimensions of wind turbines vary depending on their design and purpose. The height of a wind turbine is measured from the base of the tower to the tip of the blade, while the rotor diameter refers to the length of the circular area covered by the rotating blades.These dimensions play a crucial role in determining the capacity and

READ MOREThe huge rotor blades on the front of a wind turbine are the "turbine" part. The blades have a special curved shape, similar to the airfoil wings on a plane. When wind blows past a plane''s wings, it moves them upward with a force we call lift; when it blows past a turbine''s blades, it spins them around instead.
READ MOREA wind turbine turns wind energy into electricity using the aerodynamic force from the rotor blades, which work like an airplane wing or helicopter rotor blade. When wind flows across the blade, the air pressure on one

READ MOREWind turbine energy production is a growing field of electricity generation; in 2020, the total wind power capacity in the world is 743GW. As the wind plants are producing less pollution, the demand for wind power generation is growing. The efficiency of a wind turbine depends on many factors, like the type of turbine, the blade geometry,
