Wind Array: Turbines are constructed in groups, with spacing optimized for capturing air currents while minimizing the overall footprint. 

Rotor Blades: Wind turns the blades, which are connected to shafts that spin inside the nacelle. 

Nacelle: The “heart” of the turbine, at the top of the tower, houses the components that generate electricity from the mechanical energy of the turbine blades.

Tower: Steel support structure, extending high into the air to capture stronger wind currents.

Landing platform: platform at the base of the tower that enables maintenance.

Underneath the water: Depending on the depth and type of the ocean floor, offshore turbines may have fixed foundations or floating platforms. Fixed turbines have structural foundations that extend to the ocean floor, while floating turbines are stabilized by moorings and anchors.
