Parts of a Wind Turbine

Kinds of Wind Turbine Energy in the wind

A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used to produce electricity, the device may be called a wind generator

General parts or a wind turbine:

Tower Rotor Nacelle

Energy in the wind

In order to produce energy as an industry

Flying wind turbines will have this use because of the big amount of energy in high altitude.

Both kind of axis will be used as flying wind turbines, it will depend on the technology we use

Introduction
There are 3 factors:
Air density:

Energy in the wind

Relation between density, mass and kinetic energy

Rotor area:
Relation between rotor area, and rotor diameter

Wind speed
This is going to make us choose the kind of wind turbine

Maintenance

Advantage: Its not a new technology, it is used especially for offshore wind farms

Disadvantage: Flying wind turbines are moving continuously, that means huge difficulties for the maintenance team.

CONCLUSION
Advantages Presented

At higher altitudes, wind has more power and velocity and is more consistently predictable. As power generated goes up because of higher wind resistance proportional to the cube of relative velocity, more power can be generated. That works out to be some 8 27 times the power produced at ground level. The tethers can haul in the kites/balloons housing the turbines during storms or for general maintenance work. Less pollution is an advantage, as well as the fact that it will not take up much precious ground space for installation.
Not in every document found this idea go in the same way, some of the

writers have the opposite point of view.

Small improvements mean benefits
