weather can change, wind does not blow all the time and at the same speed all the time so the power output OS a wind turbine is not as predictable as that of a fossil fuel burning power plant, where you have option of using as much fuel you want, at any time.

How much wind can one wind turbine generate in one year?
A wind turbine is not designed to generate wind, it uses wind and generates electricity.
Is the wind energy same as wind turbine?
Wind energy is converted into electricity by spinning wind turbine. Any electric motor that is powered by electricity will generate electricity if you spin it yourself very fast.
Why does wind generate electricity?
Wind itself does not generate electricity, but using wind turbines it is converted into mechanical energy and the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. "Simply stated, a wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan, wind turbines use wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. Take a look inside a wind turbine to see the various parts. View the wind turbine animation to see how a wind turbine works."
How can water and wind be harnessed to generate electricity?
They both power turbines which rotate to generate electricity. A turbine works the same way as an electric motor.
Explain how water and wind can be harnessed to generate electricity?
They both power turbines which rotate to generate electricity. A turbine works the same way as an electric motor.
What are the disadvantages of using wind turbine to generate electricity?
Lack of wind is the main disadvantage.
How much wind can one wind turbine generate in one year?
A wind turbine is not designed to generate wind, it uses wind and generates electricity.
What wt is used to generate electricity from the wind?
Wind Turbine
What speed of wind is required for a wind turbine to generate electricity?
5mph
Is a water turbine a wind powered thing?
No it is powered by water. The flow of the water generates electricity. A wind turbine uses the wind to generate the electricity
How much electricity can a wind turbine generate?
4,7 million
Is the wind energy same as wind turbine?

How long can a wind turbine generate electricity?
20-25 years
How long can wind turbine generate electricity?

What does a home wind turbine do?
A home wind turbine will use the power of wind to provide and generate energy. One can use a home wind turbine at home to provide electricity or heat water, for example.
How can water and wind be harnessed to generate electricity?
They both power turbines which rotate to generate electricity. A turbine works the same way as an electric motor.
