Solution

At a wind power station, two forms of energy that are present include:

  1. Kinetic Energy: This is the energy of motion. The wind that is blowing has kinetic energy. When the wind blows, it pushes against the blades of the wind turbine, causing them to turn. The kinetic energy of the wind is then transferred to the blades of the turbine.

  2. Electrical Energy: This is the energy that is generated by the wind turbine. As the blades of the turbine turn, they spin a shaft that is connected to a generator. The generator then converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy. This electrical energy can then be used to power homes, businesses, and other structures.
