Numerous wind energy configurations are used to harness the energy from the wind. This chapter discusses the fundamental equation of wind power having all the parameters affecting the generation of power from the wind. The fundamental equation of wind power also shows the impact of the power coefficient of the turbine. The advantages of wind energy and the challenges in the advancement of wind energy are discussed. Wind turbine components included from the foundation to the hub are discussed in detail, as are wind energy conversion systems consisting of various generators. Since wind speed is always vulnerable to variation, the output frequency does not remain constant. Various frequency controlling methods are described in this chapter.  \nThe first electricity-generating wind turbine was installed in Scotland in 1887 by James Blyth to charge a battery. In wind turbines, the kinetic energy of the wind is used to rotate the wind turbine and the rotor of the electrical generator, which is mechanical energy, and the generator converts this mechanical energy into electrical energy [1] . In America, the first wind turbine was installed in 1888 by Charles F. Brush.  \nIn 2020, the generation of electricity was the highest among all the renewable energy sources. An increase of 11% in generation from wind was recorded in 2020 . In 2020, the installation of wind turbine was double than installation in 2019, amounting to 108 GW [2] .  \n6.2 Basic components of a wind turbine  \nThe basic components of a wind turbine are the foundation, tower, rotor, hub, nacelle, and generator. This chapter discusses all of these in detail.

Source: Wikipedia.  \n6.2.1 Foundation  \nA foundation is under the earth and is covered by the soil; it gives erection support to the wind tower. Foundation type depends upon the type of the tower, turbine, size of the plant, mechanical, operational, and meteorological stress, and the local soil conditions. A foundation is designed by considering the lowest cost of manufacturing, and installation for the specific soil conditions.  \n6.2.2 Tower  \nThe basic and key function of the tower is to give height to the wind turbine to maximize the wind interaction with the turbine and maximize the power generation. While designing the tower, the vibrations of the tower itself, rotor, nacelle, and the gearbox are kept in mind. Various parameters and dimensions are considered for transportation, installation, and erection. The height of the tower mainly depends upon the rotor radius and on-site conditions. The advantages and disadvantages of different types of towers are shown in Table 6.1 . Types of turbine towers are shown in Fig. 6.2.  \n6.2.3 Rotor  \nThe rotor is the rotating part of the stator connected to the blades of the turbine through the gearbox. The rotor is rotated by the wind turbine blades and it induces voltages at the stator of the generator. The rotor is attached to the wind turbine blades and the literature indicates that three is the optimum number of blades in a horizontal axis wind turbine.
