Wind farm - Wikipedia
A wind farm or wind park, or wind power plant, [1] is a group of wind turbines in the same location used to produce electricity. Wind farms vary in size from a small number of turbines to several hundred wind turbines covering an extensive area. Wind farms can be either onshore or offshore.

Wind turbine - Wikipedia
A wind turbine is a device that converts the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy. As of 2020, hundreds of thousands of large turbines, in installations known as wind farms, were generating over 650 gigawatts of power, with 60 GW added each year. [1] .
How Do Wind Turbines Work? | Department of Energy
Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.
Individual wind turbines are typically grouped together to give rise to a wind farm (Figure 1). A single wind turbine can range in size from a few kilowatts (kW) for residential applications to more than 5 Megawatts (MW)2. Many wind farms are producing energy on a megawatt (MW) scale, ranging from a few MW to tens of MW.
