No fuel needed after installation.
Can store heat for use at night.
Disadvantages:
Very costly to build and maintain.
Needs clear, sunny climates (desert regions are ideal).
Requires large open areas.
Uses:
Generating electricity for homes, industries, and national grids.
Wind turns turbine blades, generating electricity via generators.
Coastal areas (Gharo, Jhimpir) and mountainous passes are suitable.
Intermittent, depends on wind consistency.
Method:
Wind turbines convert kinetic energy of moving air into electrical energy.
When the wind blows, it turns the blades of the turbine.
The rotating blades spin a shaft connected to a generator, producing
electricity.
Groups of turbines are placed together in a wind farm (on land or offshore).
