First, the turbine itself does not store the energy. One needs a battery or capacitor for that. The amount of energy a turbine produces is determined by the size of the turbine and the speed of the blades, and the average RPMs in a given day. Short answer: it depends. It is best to couple the turbine as a backup for a solar array for times when the sun is not sufficient to power the cells, on the theory that when the sun is not shining during the day, the wind might be blowing because of a storm. [The British put low power turbines next to railroad tracks to power the crossing signals. The wind of the passing trains powers the them.]

How do you make wind into energy or store it into a power source?

with a wind turbine.


When there is no wind is the turbine nonproductive or does it store energy in batteries?

Turbines only produce electricity when they are turning, that is, when the wind is blowing.


What does a wind turbine turn kinetic energy into?

A wind turbine turns kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy by rotating the turbine blades. The mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy by a generator inside the turbine.


Is a wind turbine a renewable energy sources?

Yes, a wind turbine is a renewable energy source!!


What powers a wind turbine?

The wind turbine converts kinetic energy into wind, which then turns into wind and then mechanical energy. The energy is converted to an electrical generator through a shaft which turns it into electrical energy, or in other words, electricity.


Energy transformation that occur during the operation of wind turbine?

During the operation of a wind turbine, the wind spins the blades of the turbine. Therefore, the energy is transferred into the turbine, which generates electricity. A generator is a machine that produces electrical energy from mechanical energy. And so as a result, the wind energy turns into mechanical energy and turns into electric energy. Does that help?


What does Wind Turbine mean?

A wind turbine is like a giant fan that produces energy from the wind


What energy source does a wind turbine use?

Wind energy.


What two energy transfers take place when a wind turbine is working?

When a wind turbine is working, mechanical energy is transferred from the wind to the turbine blades, causing them to rotate. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy through the generator in the turbine, which can be used to power homes and businesses.


What type of energy does a wind turbine converts into electrical energy?

A wind turbine converts kinetic energy from the wind into electrical energy through the rotation of its blades. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy by a generator inside the turbine.


What is the energy transformation for wind energy?

Wind energy is generated when the kinetic energy of wind is converted into mechanical energy by the rotating blades of a wind turbine. This mechanical energy is then transformed into electrical energy by a generator within the turbine.


How much energy is created from one wind turbine daily?

The amount of energy generated by a wind turbine can vary depending on factors such as wind speed, turbine efficiency, and size. On average, a typical wind turbine with a capacity of 2-3 MW can generate around 5,000 to 8,000 kWh of electricity per day under optimal wind conditions.
