How big are the blades of a wind turbine?
For an average 1.5 MW turbine, the blades are between 35 to 45 meters. This gives an average rotor diameter of around 75 to 100 meters.
.
The stator contains six coils of copper wire, cast in fibreglass resin. Wires from the coils take electricity to the rectifier, which changes the AC to DC for charging the battery.
