Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. The blades are connected to a drive shaft that turns an electric generator, which produces (generates) electricity. Blade movement: The wind spins the rotor blades. They can be stand-alone, supplying just one or a very small number of homes or businesses, or they can be clustered to form part of a wind farm. Here we explain how they work and why they are. . Exponential Growth in Scale: Modern wind turbines have evolved into massive machines with offshore turbines exceeding 15 megawatts in capacity and prototype machines reaching 20+ megawatts, featuring rotor diameters approaching 800 feet that can power up to 20,000 homes each.

Denmark's wind power capacity is nothing short of extraordinary. With over 7,000 MW of capacity, its wind turbines generate more than 19 TWh of electricity each year, making wind the largest source of renewable energy in the country. . In 2024, wind power made up 59. 3% of total electricity generation in Denmark, up from 56% in 2020, 20% in 2010 and 11% in 2000. This increased production results from continuous improvement in wind power technologies over the last years, which has led to a significant reduction. . The Master Data Register of Wind Turbines is a national database which contains all Danish power producing wind turbines > 6 kW. The Register has information on location, technical specifications and output for each wind turbine. Data from the Register are available in Excel format. Most turbines are in service for 15-20 years with a few lasting as long as 40 years! Note that these numbers represent decommissioned turbines. . Looking for archive data? .
