GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -A minimum wind speed of 12-14 km/h (  4 to 5 m/s) to begin turning and generating electricity. Strong winds of 40-60 km/h ( 12 to 14 m/s) to generate at full capacity and winds of less than 90 km/h (25 m/s). The optimal range of wind speeds for wind power generation lies between  4-12 m/s.

Detailed explanation-2: -Wind turbines require: a minimum wind speed (generally 12-14 km/h) to begin turning and generate electricity. strong winds (50-60 km/h) to generate at full capacity. winds of less than 90 km/h; beyond that speed, the turbines must be stopped to avoid damage.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most of what you would call large-scale wind turbines typically start turning in winds of seven to nine miles per hour. Their top speeds are around 50-55 mph, which is their upper safety limit. Large-scale wind turbines normally have a braking system that kicks in around 55 mph to prevent damage to the blades.

Detailed explanation-4: -Today’s new wind power projects have a turbine capacity in the 3-4 MW range onshore and 8-12 MW offshore. The amount of power that can be harvested from wind depends on the size of the turbine and the length of its blades. The output is proportional to the dimensions of the rotor and to the cube of the wind speed.

Detailed explanation-5: -The wind Speed should be higher than 15Km/h to run the turbine of a windmill.
