Wind power has been employed for years as people have used wind energy for sailing, wind mills for producing and pumping water and more lately conversion into electricity using turbines.

Of all of the replenish-able energy sources it's the most productive and you just need a light breeze to provide electricity. Tiny air turbines are used to provide power to rustic buildings and today there are bigger wind farms which are being used to supply electricity for massive networks. Wind happens because the outer surface of the earth isn't uniformly heated, as the poles get less daylight than the equator. Society at large is looking hard for power sources that have no undesired effects ,eg, as an example, traditional fuels or nuclear energy. Cretans were using hundreds of sail-rotor windmills [to] pump water for crops and livestock. This should make wind energy terribly fascinating to any person living in an area where you can count on a reasonably consistent breeze. We also have at our disposal solar electricity, and many of us have hydroelectric power available to us. Actually the solar power striking the earth in a three-day period is more energy than is kept in all traditional fuels on earth.

However there's a cap as air turbines can only go so fast and generate so much energy. Wind power uses induction generators to gather the power and change it to electricity. The best kinds of generators are doubly fed machines as they can function when errors happen in the grid.
