Can the main shaft turn both clockwise and counter-clockwise to produce electrons ? Like wind farm generators , those huge white 3 bladed designs , I’m sure they are geared to spin one direction my question is , do you have to spin a generator a certain direction for it to work ?

Does it matter which way a generator spins to produce electrons ?

How Many Turbines are Required to Produce an Average Daily Electrical Power?

I know this problem is probably just a simple unit conversion problem, but I’m still getting confused. The problem is as follows:
Determine the number of turbines required on a wind farm to produce an average daily (24 hours) electrical power of 40MW if one turbine produces 700kW of power.
If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
This isn’t for home or work. This is a homework problem I was assigned, which is why I posted under homework help.
how much co2 do wind farms produce in manufacturing?

Solar energy gears up to produce 11% of global electricity generation by 2050[1] – Total
Abu Dhabi, 24 November 2010: Solar energy has the potential to account for 11% of global electricity generation by 2050, and governments, businesses and consumers all have a role to play, according to Arnaud Chaperon, Vice President of Electricity and Renewable Energies for Total Total – a key participant at the World Future Energy Summit 2011 in Abu Dhabi.

Can wind farms be mounted on floating platforms that have wave generators to produce power from the Oceans?

Would this be extra helpful in locating platforms out of sight of people in order to preserve the natural coastal horizan from shore? Wouldn’t this be easy to expand in locations where it was already built in order to keep up with increases in electrical demand without increasing carbon emissions? Could any country build this as long as it had coastline? Could this be sent to areas with natural disastors or predicted energy shortages as a way to help keep the power running? Could platforms also desalinate water and produce hydrogen on site? Could Solar Power also be located on it?

Tilting at windmills: Duke Energy and UNC should partner to produce technologies that truly benefit consumers
Duke Energy’s decision to abandon the construction of wind turbines in the Pamlico Sound is indicative of just how uneconomical wind is as an energy source.
