Wind turbines are power generators that make use of the kinetic energy of the wind. A windmill rotating in vertical or horizontal axis works like a classic windmill. However, the force does not move a millstone, but generates electricity via a generator. The electricity generated in this way is generally fed into the public power grid, for which the plant operator receives a fixed remuneration per power unit depending on the commissioning date.wind power plants are built both on land and at sea. In the sea, however, continental shelves must first be built so that the wind turbine also has a firm ground under its feet. Several turbines in the vicinity are referred to as wind farms. Due to the strict requirements for plant locations in Germany, mostly site-optimized parks are planned. Older plants in particular form grown parks. The turbines built in the sea form so-called offshore wind farms. The wind supply, which is not braked by geographical conditions, makes it possible to operate significantly larger plants and thus generate more electricity. The first German offshore wind farm "alpha ventus" has been officially connected to the grid since April 2010 and is located off the coast of the island of Borkum. After only a few months of operation, it already exceeds the high expectations.
