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…

No wind turbine can capture more than 59.3% of the kinetic energy of incoming wind in an open channel. This is called the Betz limit named after the german scientist Alfred Betz who derived this limit in 1919. Betz Limit Explanation Let’s understand why the wind turbine cant extracts 100% kinetic energy from the wind….
