How much minimum RPM is required by a turbine to generate Electricity?

As most turbine generators are large enough to be connected to a grid, they will operate at a speed that is predetermined by the grid frequency and the generator's electrical configuration (mainly the number of 'poles' the generator has.) A generator will always run at some multiple of the grid frequency. Most steam turbines on 60 Hz systems operate at either 1800 or 3600 RPM. Hydroelectric turbines run much slower and have a large number of poles. The turbines at Parker Dam, CA, for example, run at a speed of 94.7 RPM.
A generator may run at a faster or slower speed if it is disconnected from the grid, but once synchronized it runs at a constant speed. Under certain circumstances a generator may experience a 'slipped pole' (where, for instance, more input force than designed forces it to jump ahead a fraction of a turn), which creates a great deal of physical stress and is something that is considered undesirable operation.

What wt is used to generate electricity from the wind?
Wind Turbine
How do you generate electricity?
There are many ways to get electricity. Batteries are one form, outlets another. But if you want to generate your own electricity, you can use pedal or hand-powered generators, a wind turbine, or a solar panel. Most cars create electricity to power the spark plugs and run the accessories. All forms of consumer electricity are generated by moving spinning magnets past coils of copper wire in a device called an alternator. This can be driven by a steam turbine, a wind turbine, hydroelectric turbine or tidal barrage. (Solar photovoltaic cells generate DC current which must be converted to AC for input to the power grid.)
Are vegetables good conductors of electricity?
It depends what you mean by "good" they are not necessarily "good" conductors of electricity but yes they will conduct electricity. Most things conduct electricity at some level, they may have high resistance but they will still conduct electricity.
What is a turbine?
A device used to turn kinetic energy into electricity
Does electricity is made by water?
You use flowing water to turn a turbine. Or you heat water and turn it into steam which is used to turn a turbine.You use flowing water to turn a turbine. Or you heat water and turn it into steam which is used to turn a turbine.
What speed of wind is required for a wind turbine to generate electricity?
5mph
How much minimum torque is required by a turbine to generate Electricity?
initial torque to overcome the friction in generator and then to keep constant speed of stator within the generator. Minimum 50NM
How Does Water Turbine Generate Electricity From Tides?
eat me.
How does turbine generate electricity?
it causes a magnet to spin and generate electricity through the aligning of the electrons in surrounding atoms
How much electricity can a wind turbine generate?
4,7 million
What wt is used to generate electricity from the wind?
Wind Turbine
What types of power does not use a turbine to generate electricity?
solar
Which types of power do not use a turbine to generate electricity?
Solar
How can you generate water into electricity?
You don't. But you can use the weight of falling water to generate electricity. The water spins a turbine (a type of fan blade), and the spinning turbine turns an electric generator.
How much wind can one wind turbine generate in one year?
A wind turbine is not designed to generate wind, it uses wind and generates electricity.
How does hydroeletric generate electricity?
Falling or flowing water turns a turbine generator, which generates electricity.
How long can a wind turbine generate electricity?
20-25 years
