1MW = 1000 KW 1KW = 860 Kcal/Hour 1 Kcal = 3.968 BTu.
With a new kind of wind turbine called a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) that can produce electricity in winds as low as 5 mph.
The steam. Steam passing through a turbine spinning at a speed of 3600rpm will have a tip velocity on it largest wheel of about 1800 feet per second. In order to reach that speed the steam must be moving at least that fast through the blades. that is about 1200 miles per hour, or more than 1 1/2 times the speed of sound. The steam also over time picks up impurities from the steam pipe to the turbine, these will cause erosion similar to sand blasting. The water in the boiler has impurities that can't be removed effectively, one is silica. At high temperature in the boiler the silica vaporizes into the steam passages, as it passes through the turbine the steam cools and the silica solidifies again into deposits on the turbine blades. There are other causes but these are the most common.
What does it cost to build a wind turbine? Capital costs for wind projects are $1,500 - $2,000 per kilowatt of nameplate capacity. How does the cost of wind energy compare to other energy sources? Wind-generated electricity has become more economical to produce in the past 10 years, dropping from as much as 30 cents per kilowatt-hour to 4.5 to 7.5 cents, making it more competitive with other energy sources. The cost to develop and build a wind energy facility is approximately $1.3 million to $1.7 million per megawatt, compared to a cost for gas-fired energy generation of $800,000 per megawatt.

A wind turbine with a diameter of about 150m will generate about 10MW of power.
These units do not have a direct relationship. Imagine kilowatt hours as the equivalent of work done, and megawatts (or kilowatts) as the equivalent of effort.To answer your question: 1 megawatt 'produces' 1000 kilowatts per hour.
1,660 megawatts is equivalent to: -- 1.66 gigawatts -- 1,660,000 kilowatts -- 1,660,000,000 watts -- 1,600,000 Kwh per hour -- 5,976,000,000,000 joules per hour -- 2,225,201 horsepower (rounded) . . etc.
What I think you mean, is, "How many kilowatt-hours could a 600 watt turbine produce in a month?" The answer is, not more than 432.
A typical Nuclear power-plant with 1 Unit generates 3937 Megawatts Per Hour. Fukushima Daiichi had 4 units. So 3937 Megawatts Multiplied by 4 is 15,748 Megawatts Per Hour. This is enough to power the whole of Vegas 58 Times. A single Wind turbine can generate 2.5 M/W per day and that is if its on a land with a lot of water speed. So we need 6299 Wind Turbines located at a place where its High, Has alot of waterfalls. That means you need approximately the Entire of Japan 40 Times over and that 40 times must be full of waterfalls to generate the power a single powerplant with 4 units generates.
64 megawatts per square meter
Alot
The cost to maintain a wind turbine is estimated to be about 2% of the original investment per year. The cost of a wind turbine is $50,000.
a lot....
