Using a flow chart , explanin the various stages of energy generation using wind energy.

Explanation

(i) Electricity generation using wind energy is done with the help of a wind turbine.
(ii) A wind turbine is a machine used to convert the kinetic energy of the wind to electrical energy.
(iii) A wind turbine consists of rotating blades, a gear box and a generator.
(iv) When the wind strikes the blade of the turbine, the blades rotate.
(v) The axle of the turbine is connected to the electric generator through a gear-box.
(vi) The gear-box is used to increase the rotations per unit time.
(vii) In this way the rotating blades run the turbine which in turn drives the generator to produce electricity.
