Wind energy is the energy obtained from the wind, that is, the kinetic energy generated by the effect of air currents, which is converted into other useful forms of energy for human activities. The term “wind” comes from the Latin aeolicus, which means “belonging to or relating to Aeolus,” the god of the winds in Greek mythology.
Today, wind energy is mainly used to produce electricity by means of wind turbines connected to large power distribution grids. Wind farms built on land are an increasingly cheap and competitive source of energy, and even cheaper in many regions than other conventional energy sources. Small wind installations can, for example, provide electricity in remote and isolated regions that do not have access to the grid, as can solar photovoltaics. Electricity distribution companies are increasingly purchasing surplus electricity produced by small domestic wind power plants. The boom in wind energy has also led to the planning and construction of offshore wind farms, often referred to as offshore wind farms, located close to the coast.
