To learn more about how wind turbines work, one can start by looking at the diagram above and study each component of a wind turbine. Step-by-step look at each piece of a wind turbine from diagram above:. Wind Turbine Definition: A wind turbine is defined as a device that converts wind energy into electrical energy using large blades connected to a generator. A well-designed excitation system ensures reliability, stability, and fast transient response. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity. The generator does not require slip rings and brushes also known as a wind farm or wind turbine.
