Black and White shot of the Spanish Fork Windmills in Utah, due to their location and size it’s a bit difficult to get a good angle on them.

use ?
How is this achieved at industrial scale ( e.g. Suzlon) ? I doubt if they use batteries; Please correct me if I am wrong.
What do you think? Answer below!

you cant unless the wind never stops blowing. so you with need Batteries and an inverter to convert dc to ac

Your Answer:
Industrial scale wind-turbines use induction generators where frequency and voltage are governed by the energy grid. Small-scale generation usually use dc generation, used to power inverters or recharge batteries. Slightly lossier, much cheaper to implement on a consumer scale. Grid generated frequency also doesn’t work too good if you have no grid.
