A windmill, also known as a wind turbine, is a device that converts the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical or mechanical energy. It harnesses the power of the wind to generate electricity or perform mechanical tasks such as pumping water or grinding grain.
Small-Scale Wind Turbines : 0 to 30 meters (33 to 98 feet).
Medium-Scale Wind Turbines : 30 to 80 meters (98 to 262 feet).
Large-Scale Wind Turbines : 80 to 150 meters (262 to 492 feet) or more.
The cut-in wind speed can vary depending on the windmill's design and purpose, ranging from around 2 m/s (4.5 mph) for small residential turbines to higher speeds for larger turbines.
10 to 15 m/s (22 to 34 mph)
Wind mills require periodic inspections, lubrication, and maintenance to ensure optimal performance
Proper foundation construction, tower erection, and rotor assembly are crucial aspects of the installation process
