I still don't understand does a direction which wind blows matter for wind turbine? Or it has to blow infront of turbine for it to work?,(reply>), The turbine is fitted with a number of sensors one of which tells it the wind direction. Its control system turns it to face the wind.,(reply>), A wind turbine works best, when the wind comes directly from the front. The energy harvested is directly proportional to the area the wings cover when they turn. <br>Therefor every wind turbine can turn itself into the wind. The gondola rotates!
