To convert air into energy, windmills are installed in ventilated places, by which the kinetic energy of the wind is converted into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy with the help of a generator. The modern power-generating windmill came in the late 19th century. During the energy crisis of the 1970s, it was a period when the idea of ??wind power was used extensively. In the 1990s, large windmills began to appear and wind power was commercially available. About 8% plus of the total energy capacity installed in India is derived from wind energy. According to this, by 2030, 20% of the electricity used in the world by wind energy is possible.
