Wind capacity
Wind power generation increases proportionally to the cube of the wind speed and requires a speed of around 5 m/s to begin to move the turbine blades. After the wind reaches a speed of around 12.5 m/s, the amount of power generated by a wind turbine reaches a plateau at maximum output. The turbines are only capable of operating in speeds of up to 25 m/s, so at speeds in excess of this they must be turned off to protect them from damage.
