Detailed explanation-1: -A wind turbine transforms the mechanical energy of wind into electrical energy. A turbine takes the kinetic energy of a moving fluid, air in this case, and converts it to a rotary motion. As wind moves past the blades of a wind turbine, it moves or rotates the blades.
Detailed explanation-2: -Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water), or can be converted into electricity by a generator.
Detailed explanation-3: -A wind turbine is a machine used to convert kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy, in turn converted into electricity.
Detailed explanation-4: -The generator, in turn, converts the mechanical (kinetic) energy of the rotor to electrical energy.
