If the turbines are much taller the ground bellow can still be used e.g. farming. The propellers can be bigger to catch more wind and make more energy.

How many wind turbines replace a coal power station?

The number of wind turbines needed to replace a coal power station depends on the size and capacity of the coal plant, as well as the size and efficiency of the wind turbines. On average, it can take several dozen to hundreds of wind turbines to replace a single coal power station.


Do wind turbines spin faster than windmills in light wind?

Wind turbines are designed to capture and convert wind energy into electricity more efficiently than traditional windmills. This means that wind turbines can start spinning at lower wind speeds compared to windmills. However, the actual rotational speed can vary depending on the design and size of the turbine or windmill.


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.


How big is a wind farm?

The size of a wind farm can vary greatly depending on the number of turbines it has. Small wind farms may have just a handful of turbines covering a few acres, while large wind farms can span across thousands of acres with hundreds of turbines. The size of a wind farm is usually determined by factors such as wind resource availability, land availability, and electricity demand.


What is a cluster of wind turbines called?

A cluster of wind turbines is typically referred to as a wind farm. These wind farms are designed to generate electricity by harnessing the power of the wind through multiple turbines working together in the same location.

Do wind farms produce lots of energy?

It depends on the size of the turbines. Generally wind turbines are inefficient.

Why do wind turbines only have three arms and not many as in say a jet engine turbine Also why can't they be horizontal like the wind speed generators at airfields?

Yes, There are wind turbines with more than three blades... Basically that would only apply for the turbines which are not commercial like the turbines which are installed at home etc. and there are also wind turbines with horizontal axis, and again that would not apply to commercial wind farm. Usually Wind Turbines are BIG in size and mostly used to Generate Commercial Electricity so installing a Turbine with more than 3 turbines is not a viable thing.
