There are really only two types of wind turbines. Alternating current and direct current.
They range in size from 400 watt units up to 5 megawatt units. They typically will produce about 8% of the rated power.
A 400 watt unit will be able to produce 400watt/hours if the wind is blowing exactly 28 mph. If the wind gusts to 31 mph the systems will stop producing power. At 14 mph they will produce 10% of the rated power. All things considered, these systems are still not able to produce usable power for the world. Hopefully, they will get better.
