What else can I help you with?
What needs wind to work?
Wind turbines need wind to work. The blades of a wind turbine are turned by the force of the wind. This turning motion then generates electricity through a generator connected to the blades.
What wind speed do wind turbines need to work efficiently?
Wind turbines typically need a minimum wind speed of about 6-9 mph to start generating electricity efficiently. Ideal operating wind speeds range from 12-25 mph, with most modern turbines being designed to maximize efficiency within this range. Stronger winds can cause turbines to shut down for safety reasons.
Are wind turbines more cost effective than solar panels?
It depends on where you live. Solar panels work well in desert areas. While wind turbines work best near large lakes, oceans, or mountains. Wind turbines need to be very high up and solar panels need to face the sun as it moves across the sky.
How do wind farms work?
wind farms are built and turbines are put up. As the wind blows it turns the turbines generating electricity.
Which renewable energy resource are affected by the weather?
solar pannles need sun to work. wind turbines need wind. And there is a few others about the waves and the sea but i have forgotten them.Hope i helped xxApeygal xx
Do wind mills work when there is no wind?
No, windmills require wind to generate power by spinning their turbines. If there is no wind, windmills will not be able to operate.
What is a system of many wind turbines which work together to generate electricity?
They are collectively known as "Wind Farms".
Why don't wind turbines work at night?
Wind turbines work whenever there is wind, regardless of the time of day. However, wind speeds tend to be lower at night, which can result in lower electricity generation. Additionally, wind turbines may be shut off at night for maintenance or safety reasons.
What kind of engineers will work with the sea wind turbines?
Mechanical, civil, electrical, environmental and industrial engineers all work on offshore wind.
How much fossil fuels can wind turbines use in one day?
Wind turbines do not use any fossil fuels to operate as they generate electricity from the wind. The amount of electricity generated depends on the wind speed and turbine efficiency, not on fossil fuel consumption.
When there is no wind do wind turbines work?
No. Wind turbines require wind to produce electricity, and produce more power the faster wind blows past them. They usually have an upper limit wind speed limit as well, so if windspeed is too fast, they shut down to avoid damage.
What are some of the disadvantages of wind turbines?
They dont work if its too windy and have to be shut down
