How Does a Wind Turbine work?

The winds energy turns a propeller like blade around a rotor. This rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to create electricity. A wind generator is installed on top of a tower that converts the kinetic energy from the wind into electricity you can use in your home, business or public buildings.

When wind speeds are below 8 mph then there is no output from your generator which means all your power will be drawn from the utility company. Once winds pick up and exceed the 8 mph then your generator begins to output and you may then produce a credit if you produce more power then you need.
