Answer:

Produces 60-cycle AC electricity; it is usually an off-the-shelf induction generator. High-speed shaft: Drives the generator. Low-speed shaft: Turns the low-speed shaft at about 30-60 rpm. Nacelle: Sits atop the tower and contains the gear box, low- and high-speed shafts, generator, controller, and brake.
