Wind energy (or wind power) describes the process by which wind is used to generate electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. A generator can convert mechanical power into electricity. Mechanical power can also be utilized directly for specific tasks such as pumping water.
A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. A hydroelectric powerplant converts the mechanical energy of water in a storage dam into electrical energy. An internal combustion engine is a heat engine that obtains mechanical energy from chemical energy by burning fuel.
Mechanical Energy to Mechanical Power Energy.
