Yes, when a wind turbine stops turning, it stops generating electricity. Wind turbines require wind to move their blades, which in turn spin a rotor connected to a generator to produce electricity. Without wind, the turbine cannot generate power.

What happens to wind turbines when the wind stops blowing?

When the wind stops blowing, wind turbines stop generating electricity. Most modern wind turbines have mechanisms to yaw, or turn, to face the wind, so when the wind stops, they will align themselves to be ready for when the wind picks up again.

How there are the wind turbine connected to the msin grid?

They're connected by cables. The wind spins the turbine - generating electricity. The electricity is fed into the national grid by cables.


How is wind created in a wind turbine?

wind is not created by the turbine but wind that passes through the turbine causes it to turn, and the faster the turbine spins the more energy is created that can be turned into electricity and other resources. Hope This Helps :)
