The kinetic energy of air is transferred into electricity.

The Power of a Wind Energy Plant
An air cylinder whose length is h=vt flows into
the blades in time t
The volume of the air cylinder V is then V=Ah=πr2vt
The mass of the air in the cylinder m=ρairV=ρairπr2vt
Starting from the efficiency, the output
power is...
Conclusions
As can be seen from the pattern above, if...
●
●
r (length of a blade) doubles, the output power
quadruples (becomes 4 times bigger than what it
was)
v (speed of wind) doubles, the output power
becomes 8 times bigger than what it was
The Generator
●
transforms kinetic energy into electricity
●
is based on electromagnetic induction
–
A moving magnet causes magnetic fields that are
constantly changing. This change of magnetic flux
causes a voltage in any conductor!
–
In wind power plants it's wind that spins the magnet or
actually the conductor itself.
