Wind Power Systems Explained
Introduction
Wind power systems are one of many forms of renewable energy that use wind-driven turbines to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. The wind causes a large propeller to turn on a shaft which is directly connected to the rotor (or armature) of a generator which causes the armature windings to rotate within a magnetic field. When the winding conductors cut through the magnetic lines of flux, an AC voltage is generated and sent to the output of the wind turbine system.
The AC voltage is then sent to an inverter which converts it to DC as well as reduces it to a lower standard voltage (such 12, 24, or 48VDC) so it can be stored in a battery.
