What is a common type of wind turbine?

A common type of wind turbine is a horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT). HAWTs are the most common type of wind turbine in the world and are typically used for large-scale wind farms. They consist of a tall tower with a rotor (blades) mounted on the top. The rotor is connected to a generator, which converts the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy. HAWTs are typically more efficient than other types of wind turbines and can generate more electricity. They are also more reliable and easier to maintain than other types of wind turbines.
