Wind Generated Energy Process

Wind is a renewable source with capabilities to provide clean and green power to the community using innovative turbine technology.

The sun heats the Earth’s surface unevenly, creating discrepancies in air temperature and subsequent differences in air pressure.

The result is what we experience as wind. The force of the wind increases as the difference in air pressure increases.

Wind gradually revolves the turbine blades, which drive a generator to produce electricity. This energy travels through a transformer and into the local electricity network through transmission lines that distribute electricity to homes.

Using natural energy via wind, Emu Downs Wind Farm is providing maximum energy with minimal environmental impact in the form of greenhouse gas emissions.
