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? .

Wind turbines use blades to collect the wind's kinetic energy. Wind flows over the blades creating lift (similar to the effect on airplane wings), which causes the blades to turn. The blades are connected to a drive shaft that turns an electric generator, which produces (generates). . Wind power or wind energy is a form of renewable energy that harnesses the power of the wind to generate electricity.

Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. . At first glance, wind turbines seem to rotate slowly—especially the massive wind blades. Yet, these low-speed giants can generate megawatts of power reliably. Why is that? The answer lies in aerodynamic design, mechanical engineering, and power system integration. The amount of energy a wind turbine generates per rotation. . To truly understand how wind turbines generate power—from the movement of their blades to the delivery of electricity into the grid—it is essential to explore every stage of the process, from aerodynamics to electrical conversion, and from environmental interaction to global energy integration.

Modern onshore wind turbines typically have blades ranging between 40 and 70 meters in length. To put that in perspective, a single blade can be as long as a commercial jet's wingspan!. By doubling the blade length, the power capacity (amount of power it actually produces versus its potential) increases four-fold without having to add more height to the tower [1]. Today, blades can be. . The length of wind turbine blades varies considerably, depending on whether they are intended for onshore or offshore installations and their power capacity.
