Wind energy is a form of solar energy. Wind energy (or wind energy) describes the process by which wind is used to generate electricity. Wind turbines convert kinetic energy into wind into mechanical energy. A generator can convert mechanical energy into electricity. Mechanical energy can also be used directly for specific tasks such as pumping water. The US DOE developed a short animation of wind energy that provides an overview of how a wind turbine works and describes wind resources in the United States.
Wind is a form of solar energy. The winds are caused by unequal warming of the atmosphere by the sun, irregularities of the surface of the earth, and rotation of the earth. Wind flow patterns are modified by land terrain, bodies of water and vegetation cover. This wind flow, or movement energy, when "harvested" by modern wind turbines, can be used to generate electricity.
The terms "wind energy" or "wind energy" describe the process by which wind is used to generate mechanical energy or electricity. Wind turbines convert kinetic energy into wind into mechanical energy. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water) or a generator can convert this mechanical energy into electricity to feed homes, businesses, schools and the like.
