Suppose I've got a 6mw wind turbine with a very small wing span - 5 meters-,
what would the minimum wind speed needed to activate the generator ?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
That would entirely depend on the design of the generator. That having been said, the wind speed to obtain full power would be very high.
