Introduction about wind
turbine
Wind turbines are devices that convert the kinetic energy of
wind into electrical energy.
They work on a simple principle: wind blows against the
turbine blades, causing them to spin.
This rotation drives a generator, which produces electricity.
Components of Wind Turbine
Rotor and Blades.
Nacelle.
Generator.
Hub.
Gear box.
Tower or Base.

Electrical Systems.
Classification of wind turbine
HORIZONTAL AXIS WIND TURBINE
Most commonly used turbines due to their Strong and
efficient design.
Rotor shaft located at the top of a tall tower.
Blades positioned perpendicular to the wind.
HAWTs are suitable for both small-scale residential
installations and large utility-scale wind farms.
A typical HAWT can generate electricity with capacities
ranging from 1 kW to over 10 MW.
In 2022, global HAWT installations contributed to over
97.3% of total wind power capacity.
Classification of wind turbine
VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE
VAWTs are the most popular turbines for making homes a
source of renewable energy.
Rotor shaft is vertical; blades rotate around it.
Captures wind from any direction.
Often used in urban environments and aesthetic
considerations.
Typically smaller, ranging from a few hundred watts to a few
megawatts.
Accounted for about 5% of global wind power capacity in
2022.
Aeroleaf Wind Tree
Aeroleaf wind turbine is new way of producing energy form Vertical-
axis method. This new energy source is useful in the modern cities
because of it is nice design and free noise. These wind energy
generators are.
The positive point of wind energy is that unlike solar energy that only
can be used with sunlight only. Wind energy can be useful all the 24
hours all the year. This project is green source of energy and has no
effect on the life of earth.
There are no effects on the environment at all. Moreover, it is reduce
the CO2 and CO gases that effect the environment in the earth. One
of the biggest challenges is the social accept of Aeroleaf Wind
turbine.
