Wind Turbines (Onshore and Offshore): Modern wind turbines harness kinetic energy from wind to generate electricity, with both onshore and offshore installations playing key roles in the energy transition. Onshore wind is one of the cheapest energy sources today, while offshore wind offers higher capacity factors and proximity to coastal cities. Technological advances have led to larger, more efficient turbines—some exceeding 15 MW—with longer blades and floating platforms enabling deployment in deeper waters. Wind energy is clean, renewable, and scalable, contributing significantly to grid decarbonization. Though challenges like intermittency and environmental impact on wildlife exist, smart grid integration and improved siting mitigate these. Wind power, combined with solar and storage, forms the backbone of a sustainable energy future.
