If some turbines are spinning and some not, I suggest the only reason could be either defective units, or units undergoing maintenance.
On days with decent wind, some turbines need to shut down. Not from the high wind but because the wind turbine company has agreed to provide a certain amount of power and when they have reached it there is no point in wearing out the turbines. There is usually at least one turbine on a farm that is being maintenanced at a time.

How can electricity be generated by wind?
Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy, which is then used to drive a generator that produces electricity. The spinning blades of the turbine capture the wind's energy and turn a rotor connected to the generator, converting the rotational energy into electrical energy. This electricity can then be fed into the power grid for use.
What are some downsides to using wind powered energy?
Not many. There are some people who complain that the noise from spinning turbines is making them sick, but doctors have found no evidence of this. There is some evidence that bats and birds are injured or killed by the turbines, but again, there is conflicting evidence to say that flying creatures can and do easily avoid the blades.
Why aren't all of the wind turbines in a wind farm working on a windy day?
There are many possible reasons, however the most probable cause of a shut down turbine is "Overspeed". If the wind is too strong, the turbine can spin too fast and do severe damage to the gearbox and/or generator inside. There are systems that will automatically shut it down to protect it. Newer turbines can control the speed better, and will make adjustments to the blade pitch and yaw angle to avoid shutting down. If one of these is shut down, there may be another problem with it such as overheating components, etc.
Why do you think that the wind turbines were placed in the desert of West Texas?
Wind turbines were likely placed in the desert of West Texas because of the consistent and strong wind patterns in the region, making it an ideal location for generating wind energy. The wide open spaces in the desert also allow for easy installation of a large number of wind turbines, maximizing energy production. Additionally, land availability and lower population density in the desert area make it easier to obtain permits for wind farm development.
What is a problem with wind turbines?
One problem with wind turbines is their visual impact on the landscape, as some people find them unsightly. Additionally, wind turbines can be a threat to birds and bats, as they can collide with the rotating blades. Finally, wind turbines are not always reliable sources of energy due to their dependence on wind availability.
How many wind turbines are in a wind farm?
The amount of wind turbines that are in a wind farm simply depends upon how big the wind farm is. Wind farms can be of all sizes, and some are located in open areas, while others are in water.
How many goats in a farm?
Each Farm is very different, Some have more than others. My farm has 15
Does Uranus spin like a spinning ball?
Yes, all planets spin like spinning balls, some faster than others, however.
What do wind turbines power?
Wind turbines add power to the grid, so some of the power in your house came from wind farms. The City of Calgary AB wanted it's light rail system to be green so they budgeted enough wind turbines to generate power to run the system. there is no direct connection to the wind farm, but the farm adds more power to the grid than the trains remove.
What martial art uses the spinning heel kick?
Almost every form of martial arts uses a spinning heel kick to some degree. Some styles just emphasize kicks more than others.
What are some of the different designs of wind turbines?
country side wind turbines and modern turbines

Why do some planets rotate clockwise while others rotate counterclockwise?
Probably because an asteroid knocked them into spinning that way.
What are some downsides to using wind powered energy?

There is some evidence that bats and birds are injured or killed by the turbines, but again, there is conflicting evidence to say that flying creatures can and do easily avoid the blades.
What are examples of irony in Animal Farm?
All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.
Where are spinning wind turbines in the US?
Wind turbines can be found in many states across the US, but some of the largest concentrations are in states with favorable wind conditions like Texas, Iowa, Oklahoma, California, and Kansas. These states have expansive wind farms that generate a significant amount of electricity from wind power.
What are the new commandments in Animal Farm?
There are seven commandments in the beginning of Animal Farm. At the end there is only one commandment and that is, "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
