What else can I help you with?
In a wind farm why are some turbines spinning and others are not?
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.
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.
Some argue that wind power should be used more than it is now. What argument could someone make against the use of wind power?
It can only be used in windy parts of the country.

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.
What are some of the disadvantages of wind turbines?
They dont work if its too windy and have to be shut down
Where to build wind turbines?
Well, its kind of obvisus to build one on a windy place for example: a hill, and some are built in the the sea. So mostly places where it is quite winddy, or where wind is likely to be.
What is a sentence for windy?
It is very windy outside today.Scotland is a bit windy.
Where are wind turbines located?
Most wind turbines are located in Australia as of 2010. There are many other places which use wind tubines but Texas is the main source. Wind turbines can be located anywhere there is enough room to place them and no danger to populace. The preferred locations are sufficiently windy and have largely constant winds, e.g. exposed high areas, like hills or small mountains or coastal areas, some wind turbines are even placed off the coast. The limiting factors in the placement of wind turbines are the price and ease of transport to that area, the infastructure of the area and assembling the turbines.
What are some of the different designs of wind turbines?
country side wind turbines and modern turbines

March 20-19 of 2010? Most days were mostly cloudy with some rain and wet snow. Some days were warm and sunny. It was quite windy on the 29th.
Can wind turbines control sandstorms?
No. In fact, some wind turbines automatically slow or stop in dangerous winds.
What are some adjective for morning?
bright, early windy, sunny.
What are the basic steps involved in generating electricity at a power plant?
In all power-generating schemes except solar, some other form of energy is used to produce electrical energy by turning a mechanical generator.
What are some remote power sources?
wind turbines
