Wind Energy
Wind energy captures the kinetic energy of moving air masses using wind turbines. These devices convert rotational energy into electricity via a generator housed in the nacelle.
Wind farms are categorized as onshore or offshore. Offshore installations benefit from stronger, more consistent wind speeds, though maintenance costs are substantially higher due to marine environment corrosion and the logistical challenges of accessing turbines surrounded by deep water. A less frequently discussed aspect is the 'acoustic resonance effect' generated by large …
