The windmill that generates electricity is called a wind turbine. The principle of wind power generation is to use wind power to drive the windmill blades to rotate, and then use a speed increaser to increase the speed of rotation to prompt the generator to generate electricity. Wind power converts wind energy into mechanical work, which drives the rotor to rotate and ultimately outputs alternating current. Wind turbines can be divided into two categories. One is the horizontal axis wind turbine, where the rotation axis of the wind wheel is parallel to the wind direction.

One is a vertical axis wind turbine, in which the rotation axis of the wind wheel is perpendicular to the ground or the direction of the air flow.
