vocabulary

3. An evaluation of the potential environmental effects of a wind energy project.
5. Wind turbines located on land.
9. The process of selecting the optimal location for wind turbines or wind farms based on wind resource assessments.
12. The spinning blades of a wind turbine that capture the kinetic energy of the wind.
13. The direction from which the wind is blowing, often expressed in degrees (e.g., north, south, east, west).
15. A wind turbine in which the rotational axis of the rotor is parallel to the wind direction.
16. The speed at which the wind is blowing. It is usually measured in units like meters per second (m/s) or miles per hour (mph).
17. A collection of multiple wind turbines located in the same area to generate electricity.
19. The process of connecting wind power plants to the electrical grid to distribute the electricity they generate.

1. The energy harnessed from the movement of air (wind) using wind turbines.
2. it transfers and spreads the loads to the soil at depth.
4. Irregular, chaotic airflow that can affect the efficiency and stability of wind turbines.
6. The core of the wind turbine, where thr rotating machinery of the wind turbine can be converted into electrical energy.
7. Wind turbines located on water, such as the ocean or large lakes.
8. The main rotor shaft is set transverse to the wind while the main components are located at the base of the turbine.
10. A device used to measure wind speed.
11. A machine that converts the energy of the wind into mechanical energy which can be used to generate electricity.
14. A map of database that shows information about wind resources in a specific region.
18. The process of evaluating the potential of an area for wind energy production.
20. The component of a wind turbine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
