A typical modern wind turbine can generate anywhere from 0.5 to 5 megawatts (MW) of power per hour, but the actual amount varies considerably depending on factors like turbine size, wind speed, and site conditions.
In 2022, wind generation accounted for ~10% of total electricity generation in the United States. As wind energy accounts for a greater portion of total energy, understanding geographic and temporal variation in wind generation is key to many planning, operational, and research questions.
Observations of wind speeds at relevant heights for wind power generation (80 to 120 meters above the ground) are rare, though a limited number of tall towers and remote sensing measurements provide insight in certain locations.
For most big turbines, this is about 3-4 meters per second (m/s) or 7-9 miles per hour (mph). Below this, the turbine's hourly performance is zero. Rated Wind Speed: This is when the turbine makes its highest, or “rated,” power. For a 2 MW turbine, this might be around 12-15 m/s (27-34 mph).
