How wind turbines work. Wind turbines use blades to collect the wind''s kinetic energy. Wind flows over the blades creating lift (similar to the effect on airplane wings), which causes the blades to turn. The blades are connected to a drive shaft that turns an electric generator, which produces (generates) electricity.
Solar Thermal Power Generation. Concentrated solar power (CSP) turns sunlight into electricity. It focuses sunbeams with mirrors or lenses to heat liquids. This heat then powers turbines to create electricity. Even though CSP setup costs more at first, its ability to store thermal energy means it can work day and night. Conclusion
The output of solar PV array/wind turbine is predicted according to the weather forecast. As the input energy of wind power generation (wind) and solar power generation (sun) is uncertain, the output of these resources is also uncertain.
