How does the wind power generate, what electric it does?

The principle of wind power generation is very simple. Use a fan to convert wind energy to mechanical energy, and then convert mechanical energy into electrical energy through the generator! Many friends living in grasslands or remote mountainous areas, even in their yard, have a wind turbine, so this is already familiar with everyone!

What are the types of wind turbines?

There are two common wind turbines, one horizontal bearing fan, and the other is vertical axis fan! Most of the fan we see is a horizontal axis, that is, the rotating plane of the three paddle leaves is perpendicular to the wind direction. Under the driving of wind, the rotating paddle leaves drive the rotation shaft, and then promote the generator through the growth rate mechanism!

Compared with the horizontal shaft fan, the vertical shaft fan has one benefit. The horizontal axis fan needs to adjust the paddle and the wind direction vertical, but the vertical axis fan is omnidirectional. Unless the wind direction comes from it, it does not need to adjust the angle, but it also has one Fatal disadvantages, the wind utilization rate of vertical shaft fan is very low, only 40%, and some types of vertical axis fans do not have the ability to start, and the startup device needs to be added!
