The nacelle houses an electrical generator, power control equipment and other mechanical equipment, connected to the rotor blades. The wind strikes these blades and causes the rotor to spin. When the wind is strong enough, the rotational energy in the rotor is converted to electrical energy within the generator. The voltage of the electricity produced by the wind turbine is then increased by a transformer and substation to enable it to be fed into the electricity grid. 50 Category 4
