What wind turbines are used to generate electricity?

Windmills used to grind grain and supply water are considered a primitive engine.

To generate electricity, wind generators are used, which are a turbine with a paddle wheel (TsAGI wind engine). Wind generators with a vertical axis of the turbine (carousel – Savonius and Darrieus rotors) and a horizontal axis (vane) are considered more complex and improved. A 3-12 V DC electric motor is used as a generator. The power of small wind generators reaches 100 kW.
