Here are some approximate estimates for the number of homes that different sizes of wind turbines can power:
Small wind turbines (up to 10 kW): These turbines can generate enough electricity to power one to three average-sized homes.
Medium-sized wind turbines (10 kW to 100 kW): These turbines can power around 10 to 30 homes.
Large wind turbines (over 100 kW): These turbines can generate enough electricity to power hundreds of homes, depending on their size and the wind resource at the site.
For example, a typical 1-megawatt wind turbine can generate enough electricity to power over 400 average-sized homes in a good wind resource area. This number can vary significantly depending on the specific wind turbine model, the wind conditions at the site, and the electricity consumption of the homes.
It's important to note that the number of homes that a wind turbine can power is just one factor to consider when assessing the viability of a wind energy project. Other factors include the capital cost of the turbine, the operation and maintenance costs, and the availability of incentives and subsidies.
