Background of the Study A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind‚ also called wind energy‚ into mechanical energy in a process known as wind power. If the mechanical energy is used to produce electricity‚ the device may be called a wind turbine or wind power plant. If the mechanical energy is used to drive machinery‚ such as for grinding grain or pumping water‚ the device is called a windmill or wind pump. Similarly‚ it may be referred to as a wind charger when used for charging
