Depends on how stormy, Many wind turbines have a max wind speed rating, above which they will be shutdown in some way.

Depends on how stormy, Many wind turbines have a max wind speed rating, above which they will be shutdown in some way.
- crdoconnor 12y agoAre there figures on the actual effects of this? How often it happens/the level by which electricity output is reduced?
- Guthur 12y agoI would imagine it is highly dependent on the model of wind turbine. The window of operation like varies widely. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_61400 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_61400 I would imagine that high wind rating turbines are more expensive.
