As most turbine generators are large enough to be connected to a grid, they will operate at a speed that is predetermined by the grid frequency and the generator's electrical configuration (mainly the number of 'poles' the generator has.) A generator will always run at some multiple of the grid frequency. Most steam turbines on 60 Hz systems operate at either 1800 or 3600 RPM. Hydroelectric turbines run much slower and have a large number of poles. The turbines at Parker Dam, CA, for example, run at a speed of 94.7 RPM.
A generator may run at a faster or slower speed if it is disconnected from the grid, but once synchronized it runs at a constant speed. Under certain circumstances a generator may experience a 'slipped pole' (where, for instance, more input force than designed forces it to jump ahead a fraction of a turn), which creates a great deal of physical stress and is something that is considered undesirable operation.

What wt is used to generate electricity from the wind?
Wind Turbine
Does power station use natural gas to generate electricity?
Yes. There are many power stations that use natural gas to heat water to steam and then turn turbines to generate electricity. These are considered more environmentally friendly than oil or coal powered plants.
Where does the kinetic energy come from in the turbine?
The kinetic energy in a turbine comes from the movement of a fluid (such as wind, water, or steam) that flows through the turbine's blades. As the fluid moves, it transfers its kinetic energy to the turbine's rotor, causing it to spin and generate mechanical energy that is then converted into electricity.
How do you generate electricity?
There are many ways to get electricity. Batteries are one form, outlets another. But if you want to generate your own electricity, you can use pedal or hand-powered generators, a wind turbine, or a solar panel. Most cars create electricity to power the spark plugs and run the accessories. All forms of consumer electricity are generated by moving spinning magnets past coils of copper wire in a device called an alternator. This can be driven by a steam turbine, a wind turbine, hydroelectric turbine or tidal barrage. (Solar photovoltaic cells generate DC current which must be converted to AC for input to the power grid.)
Are vegetables good conductors of electricity?
It depends what you mean by "good" they are not necessarily "good" conductors of electricity but yes they will conduct electricity. Most things conduct electricity at some level, they may have high resistance but they will still conduct electricity.
What should be the minimum wind to maintain the required motion of the turbine?
The minimum wind speed required to maintain motion in a wind turbine is typically around 3-5 meters per second (m/s). This is known as the cut-in speed, below which the turbine will not generate usable electricity.
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 speed of wind is required for a wind turbine to generate electricity?
5mph
What is the minimum air speed required to generate electricity in a wind mill?
Typically, wind turbines need a minimum wind speed of about 6-9 mph (3-4 m/s) to generate electricity. This is known as the cut-in speed. At this speed, the turbine blades start rotating and generating power.
What type of energy does not use a turbine to generate electricity?
Solar energy does not use a turbine to generate electricity. Solar panels convert sunlight directly into electricity through photovoltaic cells, without the need for a turbine.

Which resource doesn't use a turbine to generate electricity?
One resource that doesn't use a turbine to generate electricity is solar power. Solar panels convert sunlight directly into electricity through photovoltaic cells without the need for a turbine.

How much electricity can a wind turbine generate?
4,7 million
What types of power does not use a turbine to generate electricity?

How TO generate electricity from steam?
To generate electricity from steam, a steam turbine is typically used. High-pressure steam is directed onto the turbine blades, causing the turbine to spin. The spinning turbine is connected to a generator, which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy.
How can you generate water into electricity?
You don't. But you can use the weight of falling water to generate electricity. The water spins a turbine (a type of fan blade), and the spinning turbine turns an electric generator.
