It can store enough power to supply 10,000 homes with renewable electricity for a full four-hour period after the wind has stopped blowing. 8-megawatt battery system has already demonstrated exceptionally strong response times.

The equation used to calculate wind turbine power is: Power (W) = 0. 5 × ϱ × πr² × Cp × CF × v³ where ϱ is wind density in kg/m³, πr² is the swept area of the turbine, Cp is the power coefficient, CF is the capacity factor and v is the velocity of the wind in m/s.
