Wind turbines work on a simple principle. The wind hits the rotor blades. The combination of wind speed and blade rotation results in a pressure distribution on the rotor blades. The pressure distribution causes a turning moment (torque). The turning moment rotates the shaft. The shaft is coupled to a generator that produces electrical power…
