What is wind energy?

Wind energy is the kinetic energy of the wind. Today, it is primarily used to generate electricity. The wind's kinetic energy is first transformed into mechanical energy (rotation of the blades and rotor) and then into electrical energy by the generator.

The first wind turbine designed to produce electricity was developed in 1887 by Charles F. Brush. It's worth noting that the first modern wind turbine conceived, built, and operated in France (the BEST Wind Turbine) dates back to 1955 and had a power output of 800 kVA. This remarkable early development and head start raises questions about the future of this energy source in our country.
