What Is Wind Energy
Definitions of Wind energy on the Web:
* Kinetic energy present in wind motion that can be converted to mechanical energy for driving pumps, mills, and electric power generators.

* energy obtained from turbine engines powered by wind
sln.fi.edu/franklin/glossary.html
* The kinetic energy of wind converted into mechanical energy by wind turbines (ie, blades rotating from a hub) that drive generators to produce electricity for distribution.

* Electric energy that is produced by wind driven turbines.

* The kinetic energy of moving air masses, which can be tapped and utilized in various ways, including the generation of electricity.

* Energy available from the movement of the wind across a landscape caused by the heating of the atmosphere, earth, and oceans by the sun.

* (wind). ENERGY that is tapped from the natural movement of the air. Wind energy is considered a form of SOLAR ENERGY because wind is caused by variations in the amount of heat that the sun sends to different parts of the earth. It may be converted into electrical or mechanical POWER through the use of a WIND MACHINE.

* Energy from moving air

* Wind energy is the energy present in the flow of air around the earth. The wind is driven by the temperature and pressure differences in the atmosphere arising from heating of the earth by the sun and it is further guided by topography. The energy stored in the atmosphere is in three forms, kinetic, potential, and thermal. They all play a part in the motion of wind, but the main interest is in the kinetic energy from the wind's motion.
