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


What is the minimum air speed required to generate electricity in a wind mill?

10 mile/hr


Is a wind turbine used to measure wind?

The normal use of a wind turbine is to generate electricity or to pump water. It could be used to measure wind speed but there are very inexpensive devices that do the job better.


Where are the best places to put wind turbines to efficiently produce electricity?

Water turbines are normally found in plant rooms of man made dams, in order to generate hydro electricity (water flowing through turbine, at speed to create electricity).


What wind speed is needed to generate electricity?

wind energy


Disadvantages of generate electricity in a wind turbine?

weather can change, wind does not blow all the time and at the same speed all the time so the power output OS a wind turbine is not as predictable as that of a fossil fuel burning power plant, where you have option of using as much fuel you want, at any time.


What is the uses of packing steam in turbine?

The main uses for packing steam in a turbine are to produce electricity and power. The steam creates pressure when in turn spins a turbine at very high rates of speed.


Is high speed balancing required for a steam turbine which has been idle for 15 years?

No.


How does the blades on a wind turbine contribute to the energy change?

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


How do you get hydroelectricity?

Hydroelectricity is produced by rushing water through a turbine. The turbine spins at high speed, thus spinning the alternator to which it is connected, to create an electromotive force that is the electricity.


What is idle speed of turbine?

warm up speed of turbine,andthe minimum speed of turbine before loading is called idle speed.


What is the minimum wind speed needed for a wind power generator to produce electricity?

You will need at least 10 miles per hour wind speeds to generate power with a turbine. Look for an open spot in your garden that is away from other structures or above the roof line.
