The correct answer is option 1
Concept:
Wind Energy Conversion (WECS):

  • Wind energy (or wind power) describes the process by which wind is used to generate electricity.
  • Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. A generator can convert mechanical power into electricity. 
  • The wind energy conversion system (WECS) includes wind turbines, generators, control systems, and interconnection apparatus.
  • Wind Turbines are mainly classified into horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT) and vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT).
  • Modern wind turbines use HAWT with two or three blades and operate either downwind or upwind configurations.
     

WECS includes the following main components which are located on the tower:

  1. Rotor
  2. Blades or Wind turbine
  3. Generator
  4. Brake
  5. Anemometer
  6. Nacelle
  7. Gear Box
  8. Charge Controller
  9. Generator
  10. Yaw Drive
  11. Yaw Motor
