How many wind turbines would you need to power a factory?

There is not enough information in the question. We would need to know, for starters, the following: 1. The energy requirements for the factory, including peak, average, and minimums, along with possible seasonal variations in power usage. 2. read more

The cost of the power, over time, is equal to the sum of the cost of the turbines plus the energy storage (and retrieval) system, all in, and divided by the total amount of power delivered to the factory. read more

When you multiply a wind turbine's average potential (2 megawatts) by its 40% annual energy efficiency, 365 days a year, you get Hensley's estimate of the megawatt-hours of energy production each turbine can produce (7,008). read more
