Because power increases as the cube of the wind speed, turbines must survive much higher wind loads (such as gusts of wind) than those loads from which

Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor,

The swept area of the rotor, defined by the circle the blades make as they spin, determines how much wind energy is intercepted. Because power is proportional to the cube of wind
