What is a Wind power generation system?

A wind power generation system is a device that converts the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy. It typically consists of a wind turbine (with rotating blades), a generator, and a control system. When the wind blows, the blades spin, turning a shaft connected to a generator, which produces electricity. There are mainly two types of wind power generation systems. The first is large-scale wind turbines (megawatt-class) installed in windy areas such as coasts or highlands, used for supplying electricity to the power grid. The second is small-scale wind turbines, used in homes or small facilities as decentralized energy sources.

Wind power systems utilize renewable energy, making them eco-friendly and reducing CO₂ emissions. They do not require fuel and have relatively low operating costs, making them a promising sustainable energy solution. However, they also face challenges such as noise, visual impact, and the need for suitable installation locations—issues that are being addressed through ongoing technological advancements.
