[0002] A wind turbine is a device that converts wind energy into electrical energy. It primarily relies on wind power to drive blades to rotate, which in turn generates electricity through a generator. Wind turbines are an important form of renewable energy generation and are widely used in onshore and offshore wind farms. They utilize natural wind energy to provide clean and environmentally friendly electricity, reducing dependence on fossil fuels. A wind turbine mainly consists of a rotor, main shaft, gearbox, generator, frame, base, and converter. The rotor is the core component of the wind turbine; its blades rotate under the influence of wind, converting wind energy into mechanical energy. Typically, a rotor has three blades and employs aerodynamic design to ensure both sufficient efficiency and good wind resistance.
