No, more wind means more power generated.

They are called 'wind turbines' (rather than wind mills) since the transfer of energy is made through the blade acting as a wing (not as a sail); the difference in pressures on the blade induces a lateral force which is transferred to the axis and then to the rotor and the gearbox of the turbine.

To answer your question, the power generated on a wind turbine is directly related to the third power of the wind speed; for instance an increase of 2% in the wind speed can translate in a theoretical increase of power output of 8%. Very much so.

Most systems are rated at a wind speed of 28 mph. Most windy areas have a speed of less the 15 MPH average wind. A turbine operating in a 15 MPH wind will be providing roughly 10% of the rated power. At 28 MPH the system could deliver 100 % of rated power.

How does a wind mill rotating slowly can generate power?

A windmill generates power through its blades capturing the kinetic energy of the wind and converting it into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then transferred to a generator, which converts it into electrical energy. The speed at which the windmill rotates affects the amount of power it can generate.


How speed vary in ic engine?

Amount of fuel burning is directly proportional to the amount of power produced. The power produced by the chemical reactions can be converted for producing the high torque or high speed of an engine. basically the speed of an engine will vary w.r.to the amount of fuel injection for a given engine geometry.


Does the ramp surface effect the speed of a car?

yes, of course different surface different amount of friction


What are the different activities involve in speed?

Activities that involve speed include running, cycling, swimming, sprinting, and racing. These activities focus on moving quickly and efficiently to cover a distance in the shortest amount of time possible. Speed training can also involve interval training, plyometrics, and agility drills to improve overall speed and power.


How regulator control the speed of fan?

Fan regulators are similar to light dimmers. Their function is to control the speed of the fan. The regulator uses resistances for the speed of the fan. It acts as a divider and the speed changes based on the resistance.


Why the plane can be fly?

Because it's speed generates lift on the wings.


What limits a cars top speed?

Rear end size, gears in the trans and the amount of power the car has


How can two objects with different speeds move in the same amount of time?

Two objects with different speeds can cover different distances in the same amount of time if they start at different locations. For example, one object may start closer to the finish line, allowing it to cover a shorter distance in the same amount of time as the object moving at a faster speed.


When the wind speed is x meters per second the wind turbine generates twice as much power as it does when the wind speed is 10 ms Calculate the value of x Give your answer to 3 significant figures?

To determine the wind speed x at which the turbine generates twice as much power as at 10 m/s, you can use the cube law for wind turbines, which relates power output to wind speed cubed. Let P be the power generated at wind speed x and P0 be the power generated at 10 m/s. Using the cube law equation (P/P0 = (x/10)^3), plug in P/P0 = 2 to find x. (3 significant figures): x ≈ 17.3 m/s.


What is the effect of compressibility of air on the flight and at what velocities it becomes relevant?

It is only possible when air is strike on the surface of the aircraft due to that compressible wave are produced and it will generates tremendous amount of noise. Air is compressible so we cannot ignore that but amount of the compressibility depends on the speed of aircraft. Normally it can be noticed at speed more than 400km/h.


Does the wind speed affect different states the same amount of damage?

No, because the winds will get weaker.


How do speed controllers work?

Speed controllers regulate the speed of electric motors by adjusting the amount of power supplied to the motor. They achieve this through techniques such as pulse-width modulation (PWM), which turns the power on and off rapidly to control the average voltage and current reaching the motor. This allows for precise speed adjustments while maintaining efficiency and reducing heat generation. Depending on the application, speed controllers can be analog or digital, providing different levels of control and feedback.
