Wind Market Definition
Wind is the movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. It is caused by the sun's uneven heating of the Earth's surface, which creates pressure differences in the atmosphere. Wind can vary in speed and direction and is essential to weather patterns, climate, and environmental processes.
The main components of wind are turbines, electrical infrastructure, rotor blades, generators, brushes, towers, and others. Turbines are mechanical devices that convert kinetic energy from wind into electrical power by rotating blades connected to a generator. The various technologies include horizontal, vertical, and others. The various locations include onshore, and offshore. These are used by various end users such as energy and power, agriculture, food and beverage, paper and pulp, chemical, commercial, and others.
