The 26 pages that link to Wind turbine, each with the reason it gives.

• TurbulenceRelated: Atmospheric turbulence produces fluctuating loads on turbine blades.

• Electric generatorRelated: Wind turbines turn generator shafts to convert wind energy into electricity.

• Critical mineralsRelated: Some turbine generators use rare-earth magnets, while all require extensive metal inputs.

• Wind shearRelated: Vertical wind shear changes the loads and energy captured across a rotor.

• Raptor migrationRelated: Migration routes near turbines raise collision and displacement concerns.

• Synchronous generatorRelated: Some wind turbines use synchronous generators, including direct-drive designs.

• Aerial insectivoreRelated: Turbine-related mortality and displacement are studied in bats and other aerial insectivores.

• Rare-earth magnetRelated: Direct-drive turbine generators can use rare-earth magnets to avoid a gearbox.

• AnemometerRelated: Wind measurements help assess turbine sites and monitor operating conditions.

• Carbon fibersRelated: Carbon fibers can stiffen long turbine blades while limiting added mass.

• DysprosiumRelated: Some direct-drive turbines use permanent magnets containing dysprosium for high-temperature performance.

• NeodymiumRelated: Some direct-drive turbines use neodymium magnets in their generators.

• Turbine bladeRelated: Its long blades extract energy from atmospheric flow at comparatively low speeds.

• Induction generatorRelated: Induction generators have been widely used in wind turbines for rugged grid-connected generation.
