Enough to light 350 homes if the wind is at exactly 28 mph all day

If the wind reduces to 14 mph that number drops to 35 homes

If the wind drops to 13 mph that number is 20 homes

Fossil fuel plants run at 100% at all times to make up for these variables.

Which object converts wind power to electricity?

A windmill or a wind turbine. Once there is enough wind the blades turn the generator inside. This generates electricity.


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 wind energy works?

A wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, a turbine uses wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. The electricity is sent through transmission and distribution lines to a substation, then on to homes, business and schools.


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


Which alternative energy resource is used to make electricity in this figure?

The figure likely shows a wind turbine generating electricity from wind energy.


What factor determines how much electricity a windmill produces?

The main factors that determine how much electricity a windmill produces are the wind speed and the size of the wind turbine's rotor blades. Higher wind speeds and larger rotor blades can generate more electricity. Other factors that can affect electricity production include the efficiency of the wind turbine and the maintenance of the system.


How much wind can one wind turbine generate in one year?

The amount of wind energy generated by a wind turbine in one year depends on factors like the turbine's size, location, and average wind speed. On average, a typical wind turbine with a capacity of 2-3 MW can generate around 5-8 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity in a year.


Which object converts windpower to electricity?

A wind turbine converts wind power into electricity. When the wind turns the blades of the turbine, it spins a rotor connected to a generator, which produces electricity.


When a wind turbine stops does it stop the electricity?

Yes, when a wind turbine stops turning, it stops generating electricity. Wind turbines require wind to move their blades, which in turn spin a rotor connected to a generator to produce electricity. Without wind, the turbine cannot generate power.


What does the turbine blade do to the speed of the wind?
