How do wind turbines work?
- The rotor blades catch the wind's energy, which makes the rotor turn.
- The rotor's energy is transferred to the generator via a gearbox, which increases the rotational speed.
- Magnetic induction in the generator converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy.
- Electricity is generated at 690 V. The transformer in the base of the tower transforms it up to 33 kV.
- Electricity is distributed through the site to a control room and then onto the local 33-kV network.
