OverviewBladesAerodynamicsPower controlOther controlsTurbine sizeNacelleTower

The ratio between the blade speed and the wind speed is called tip-speed ratio. High efficiency 3-blade-turbines have tip speed/wind speed ratios of 6 to 7. Wind turbines spin at varying speeds (a consequence of their generator design). Use of aluminum and composite materials has contributed to low rotational inertia, which means that newer wind turbines can accelerate quickly if the winds pic
