What does wind power plant mean?
A power station that produces electricity by wind power
Which countries produce the most energy from wind power?
The United States produces more wind power than any other country, surpassing Germany, which previously produced the most
How many wind turbines would it take for it to power the electricity a power plant does?
A standard power station produces something like 500 megawatts. A standard wind turbine produces about 5 megawatts.
Why is wind power important?
Wind power is a type of power that produces no pollution and does not use up any resources. That is what we need, to avoid harming the environment in which we live.
How do you get power from wind mills?
Weather creates masses of moving air. Some of the energy of the air can be captured by a windmill or wind turbine and converted into another form. In a modern wind turbine the blades are aerodynamically shaped to get the most power from the wind. The blades turn a generator which produces electrical energy.
Where is wind power produced?
wind power produces electricity

How much is a wind power generator?
The cost of installing a home wind power generator depends on the kilowatt it produces. A 1 kilowatt wind power generator usually costs $3000-$7000. A 7 kilowatt wind power generator costs $20,000-$40,000. The more kilowatt it produces, the more costly it is.
Where is wind energy used on earth?
Lots of places. the most intensive use is in Northern Europe. (Denmark produces wind power equal to about 40% of their electrical consumption)
How wind energy produces electricity?
The wind produces energy by pushing against a fan. The fan operates a power making device ( generator, turbine) to produce the electricity. The amount of wind can make more or less power from the system.

How dependable is wind power?
Wind power only produces power over a small range of wind speeds. Below the rated speed no power is produced. Wind is a suitable supplementary power source for grid applications as long as other, more reliable systems are in place.
What state produces the most wind powered energy?
Texas
