The amount of wind turbines in a wind farm can vary from one farm to another. They can have as few as five or as many as 150 wind turbines. One of the largest wind farms is Alta Wind Energy center in Kern County, California. It has over 4,800 wind turbines.
Most wind turbines are located in Australia as of 2010. There are many other places which use wind tubines but Texas is the main source. Wind turbines can be located anywhere there is enough room to place them and no danger to populace. The preferred locations are sufficiently windy and have largely constant winds, e.g. exposed high areas, like hills or small mountains or coastal areas, some wind turbines are even placed off the coast. The limiting factors in the placement of wind turbines are the price and ease of transport to that area, the infastructure of the area and assembling the turbines.
In 2014, there were about 50 wind farms in the nation of Australia. Each wind farm has an average of about 20 turbines each. That means there are about 1,000 turbines in Australia.
Wind turbines can be found in many states across the US, but some of the largest concentrations are in states with favorable wind conditions like Texas, Iowa, Oklahoma, California, and Kansas. These states have expansive wind farms that generate a significant amount of electricity from wind power.
The Tehachapi Wind Farm, with around 5,000 wind turbines, is the second largest collection of wind generators in California.
There are five wind farms in Kansas, USA, with a total of 1028 turbines.Caney River Wind ProjectIronwoodMeridian WayPost RockSmoky Hills Wind Farm
Wind turbines were likely placed in the desert of West Texas because of the consistent and strong wind patterns in the region, making it an ideal location for generating wind energy. The wide open spaces in the desert also allow for easy installation of a large number of wind turbines, maximizing energy production. Additionally, land availability and lower population density in the desert area make it easier to obtain permits for wind farm development.
Thanet Offshore Wind Farm has 100 x 3MW turbines.
