Why are wind turbines located in windy places?
Because more wind = more energy = more electricity generation per wind turbine = most cost efficient use of wind power.
When there is no wind is the turbine nonproductive or does it store energy in batteries?
Turbines only produce electricity when they are turning, that is, when the wind is blowing.
Energy sources used to power light sources?
Electricity, which generally comes from power plants, but can come from batteries, solar panels, wind turbines
How is electricity generate by water?
its actuallly simple, the water turns turbines and the turbines produce electricity.
Who is wimalasurendra?
Wimalasurendra is a SriLankan Inventor who invented the water related electricity generation system (using turbines with high pressure water stroke)
How do you use coal for electricity?
Coal is burned and the heat produced is used to make steam from water. The steam turns turbines which generate electricity. In a CHP plant, some of the steam is used to provide hot water to nearby houses etc, rather than using all the steam to produce electricity. CHP stations are generally more efficient than traditional coal fired electricity generation plants.
Do wind turbines use electricity to start turning?
No. Wind blows the blades, and the pole attached to the blades is attached to the turbines, which physically turns the turbines, and the movement of the turbines create electricity.
How electricity works using coal?
When coal is used for electricity generation, it is usually pulverized and then burned in a furnace with a boiler. The furnace heat converts boiler water to steam, which is then used to spin turbines which turn generators and create electricity. Old coal power plants, especially "grandfathered" plants, are significantly less efficient and produce higher levels of waste heat. About 40% of the world's electricity comes from coal, and approximately 49% of the United States electricity comes from coal.
Can wind turbines produce energy when the wind is not blowing?
Yes, if they are linked to an electricity storage system, like a battery bank, or pumped water storage, then they can release energy even when the wind is not blowing.In times of low demand they can charge their batteries, or pump water to a reservoir upstream. When the wind stops they have electricity in their batteries, or they can release water from the dam which will generate electricity.
What does wind turbines do?
A wind turbines uses the wind to power an electricity generator.
What do wind turbines generate?
electricity.
What are some examples of transform?
hydro: water pushing turbines to create electricity wind: wind pushing wind turbines to create electricity geothermal: heat from earth core creating steam which moves turbines and creates heat and electricity
