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:
- Rotor
- Blades or Wind turbine
- Generator
- Brake
- Anemometer
- Nacelle
- Gear Box
