WIND POWER PLANTS

Wind power stations, also known as wind farms, exploit the kinetic energy of the wind to move the blades of an aerogenerator. This movement of the shaft of the blades results in a high speed in the shaft of the rotor which produces electricity.

Wind farms are a clean way of generating electricity. When installing them it is necessary to study the wind regimen to make it profitable. Wind  is a totally free source of energy, although diffuse and intermittent.
