Wind Turbines on Wind Farms?
Is there any reason they would turn off wind turbines in a wind field due to efficiency? I know the fans are braked if winds exceed a certain velocity and possibly due to energy needs they may stop some of them. However in a debate with a friend he argued that it would be more efficient and produce more energy to have fewer running versus more. This is counter intuitive can someone shead some light on this topic. I refuse to accept my friend logic.
In response to answer number two...its a wind mill u dont use energy to run it u gain...so y would u ever want them not moving or "shut them down.'' Even if u had 1 rotation per hour u'd be gaining more energy than 0 rotations. Further my friend argued that the first turbine in a row would run slower if the one behind it were running. This I know is false. And my friend has no reliable source or literature to prove his point.
