Onshore wind power generation
Onshore wind draws on the kinetic energy of wind to produce electricity — directly on land. Wind turns the rotor blades of a turbine, and a generator converts that motion into electrical energy, which is fed straight into the grid. You'll often see onshore wind farms in fields or more rural areas, as they're usually constructed in less populated areas where buildings and obstacles don't. . Onshore wind energy is a renewable energy source that harnesses the power of wind to generate electricity. However, its potential remains largely untapped.
