Occupational safety training for working in a wind power factory

1. Overview of Wind Power Factories

a. What is a wind power factory?

A wind power factory is a facility for manufacturing electricity using wind as the main energy input. Wind power factories include technological structures such as blades (also called wind rotors) and generators, installed on tall towers or similar structures to harness wind energy and convert it into electricity.

When the wind blows through the blades, they rotate and drive the generators to produce electricity. Wind energy can be used to supply electricity to the public grid or for specific areas such as farms, factories, or other manufacturing facilities.

Wind power factories are considered a renewable energy source and do not produce greenhouse gas emissions or air pollution, making them a popular method for manufacturing clean electricity and protecting the environment.
