Wind is converted into energy by wind turbines, the the power of the wind spins the turbine which generates electricity.
its quite simple really they just put up windmils and when they spin from the wind they create alternitive electricty which we then can use they only set back is when its not windy no electricity
From the energy generated by the sun.
The solar radiation causes temperature differences in the atmosphere which causes the air to move.
In regards to windmills (wind turbines) the potential energy of the wind causes the fins of the turbine to rotate, creating mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is in turn transformed into electrical energy by the machines inside the turbine.
It’s the same thing a dam does with rushing water, using wind instead.
