What to do if there is no wind for wind turbines
Once a turbine is going, it can take hours to slow back down, and that could explain why they are turning without wind. They could also be drawing power from the grid to rotate the blades during cold periods of the year to prevent the blades and gears freezing up. . When there is no wind, will the wind turbine work? Is wind an absolute necessity for wind turbines to work? This article attempts to find answers to these questions and more. Before we move on to the trickier questions, let's understand wind turbines and how they generate electricity. This article will explain how this is possible using innovative ideas and advanced technologies.Read More Download PDF
