Electricity generated from a single rotation of a wind turbine operating at optimal conditions ranges from 1 to 4 kWh, influenced by turbine size and wind conditions. These are: They all interact to control the amount of energy extracted from each rotation. Prior to entering the gory details of power. . Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity. Typically, these blades rotate at a speed of 15 to 20 revolutions per minute (rpm). It involves the visible story – the front office.
