Advertisements
Solution
Limitations of an electric generator:
- The wind's speed is not constant, and the required wind velocity is not available everywhere.
- It has a limited supply and is uncontrollable.
- Wind power has the limitation of producing no electricity when the wind is not blowing. As a result, it cannot be used as a reliable source of base load power.
