Wind generation plays an essential role in our portfolio of solutions focused on building a more reliable and secure energy grid for our customers. Wind turbines, which can stand up to 50 stories tall, capture energy as wind blows around them, causing the blades to rotate and trigger an internal shaft to spin. This shaft connects to a gearbox, which speeds up the rotation. The gearbox then drives a generator that converts the wind energy into electricity. Turbines are grouped into wind projects that supply power to the grid.
Built for high winds, wind turbines can withstand extreme weather and automatically shut off when wind speeds exceed safety limits.
