This model demonstrates how wind energy is converted into electrical energy using a wind turbine. When air (wind) blows on the blades, it makes them rotate — this rotation drives a DC motor (acting as a generator) that produces electric current to light up an LED bulb.

Based on first-order cost estimates informed by current technology, the most wind-rich regions of the country generally show an economic preference for the lowest considered tower height; higher hub heights (e., 110 m and 140 m) are often preferred in more moderate wind speed.

The average blade length of a typical onshore wind turbine is about 165 feet (50 meters), but there is a trend towards taller turbines, particularly offshore, where blades can span up to 260-290 feet (80-90 meters). Wind turbine blade technology has evolved dramatically over the.
