Almost all wind turbines producing electricity for the national grid consist of rotor blades which rotate around a horizontal hub. The hub is connected to a gearbox and generator, which are located inside the nacelle. The nacelle houses the electrical components and is mounted at the top of the tower. This type of turbine is referred to as a 'horizontal axis' machine.
