A wind turbine can use up to 40kw/h of energy at once.

When for example the turbine is yawing into the wind (turning the head of the turbine into the wind for the blades to face the incoming wind). 4 high power motors and gears are used to do this. When at the same time the hydraulic system is turned on to control the blades to position themselves in the wind, and the motors for the cooling are enabled, the windturbine can require a lot of wind. However usually this is generated by the turbine itself. So this is not really relevant as the output is much higher then the usage.
