Wind Generators

Meps Albania > Services > Energy > Wind Generators

Wind Generators Overview

Function: Wind turbines capture wind energy through rotating blades connected to a generator, producing electricity. The electricity generated is then fed into the grid or used directly on-site.

Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbines (HAWT)

The most common type, with blades rotating on a horizontal axis. These are typically large and used in wind farms.
 

Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT)

Less common and can operate in variable wind directions, often used in urban environments.
 

Applications

Utility-Scale Power Generation

Wind farms with multiple turbines generate large amounts of electricity, contributing significantly to the grid.

On-Site Power Generation

Smaller turbines can be used for local power generation, reducing dependence on external power sources.

Hybrid Energy Systems

Wind generators can be combined with solar or hydropower systems to create a more reliable and consistent energy supply.
