It depends on the manufacture and design of the wind turbine. Some small turbines can maximize power output with a wind speed of 10 mph. Larger turbines may be designed for higher wind speeds. Some won't even start spinning until the wind speed is over 10 mph.
To generate power using the mini wind turbine you will have to install a small wind turbine and connect it to the grid.
to allow the blades to begin rotation in low wind speed, heavier blades need higher wind speed to start them.
wind pushes on the blades of the wind turbine which pass on this motion to the generator to produce electricity. The energy and the speed of a wind turbine depend on the blade pitch control which depends on the angel of the blade chord to the plane of rotation. The blade pitch determines the speed of the turbine which also depends on the wind speed. Energy is directly proportional to the speed of the turbine. Therefore, the energy produced by a turbine depends on both the wind speed and the blade pitch angle. By: Amin Elsersawi
No, in fact if the wind is strong enough, wind turbines can take power from the grid to help slow the blades down. Modern wind turbines have constant speed blades on them which vary the power to the hub for a given wind speed and keep the blade speed constant. Thus more power may happen at the same blade speed as low wind situations. Often higher blade speeds indicate that the turbine is in idle mode and not producing any power for the grid. Power is cubed so the power available is dependent on the wind solely. A 28 MPH steady wind will allow production of power at 100%. If the wind goes much above this speed, a shut down occurs. If the wind is at 14 mph, the power available is 10% of rated. Speeds of wind systems on the grid should be fairly constant. despite power setting.
The wind turns a wind turbine. The turbine turns a generator.
Decreasing the blade length will increase the rotation speed, and thus the turbine speed ( for constant wind speed ).

No, more wind means more power generated. They are called 'wind turbines' (rather than wind mills) since the transfer of energy is made through the blade acting as a wing (not as a sail); the difference in pressures on the blade induces a lateral force which is transferred to the axis and then to the rotor and the gearbox of the turbine. To answer your question, the power generated on a wind turbine is directly related to the third power of the wind speed; for instance an increase of 2% in the wind speed can translate in a theoretical increase of power output of 8%. Very much so. Most systems are rated at a wind speed of 28 mph. Most windy areas have a speed of less the 15 MPH average wind. A turbine operating in a 15 MPH wind will be providing roughly 10% of the rated power. At 28 MPH the system could deliver 100 % of rated power.
A residential wind turbine is basically a mini wind turbine that is designed to provide power to the users. It basically provides power for the neighborhood to use.

The Power Generated by a Wind Turbine entirely depends on the capacity of the turbine which is installed.. there are turbines ranging from 1 watt to 10 MW that can be installed in a wind farm The installation of the turbine depends on the Wind Potential of the area.
one wind turbine can produce enough energy to power 10000 houses with the right amount of wind.
