Sources Of Energy part 5 (Conventional fuel : Thermal power plant) [00:09:44]

A large coal-fired power station produces 2000 MW of electrical energy. A wind turbine with 33 m blades can produce 300 kW.

How many turbines would be needed to replace the power station?

Write one use of wind energy

(a) in the past

Mention any four limitations in harnessing wind energy on a large scale.

State two advantages of using wind energy for generating electricity.

A large coal-fired power station produces 2000 MW of electrical energy. A wind turbine with 33 m blades can produce 300 kW.

Why, in actual practice, this number of turbines could not replace the coal-fired power station?
