the wind turns turbines that generate electricity
The wind provides the power that turns the turbines that generate electricity, and the consumers use the electricity from that source just as they would use electricity from any other source.
There are limitations to wind energy generation, however. If there is a large energy grid, wind power can add to the total, but it can’t be used as the sole generating system, because if the wind drops, you have no power.
In the State of Hawaii, wind generation has been utilized, but must have a backup generator system, so there is no economic saving in the installation of wind generation systems, as the fuel-powered backup system must also be installed at the same time, but there is a saving in fuel as the fuel-powered generator is turned off when the wind is stong enough to run the wind turbines.
