The foundation is the base of a wind turbine. It is firmly connected to the ground and provides stability for the entire turbine. It supports the turbine and the forces it experiences, including wind forces and the stresses generated by the turbine's rotation. . What are the main components of a wind turbine? The main components of a wind turbine include the rotor, generator, tower, nacelle, and control system. Housed inside the nacelle are five major components (see diagram): a. Electrical power transmission systems a. Wind is a form of solar energy caused by a. . Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan— wind turbines use wind to make electricity.
