Are they safe in stormy weather?

Wind turbines are designed to survive stormy weather. If the wind is too strong or gusty the wind turbine will shut itself down and the blades will ‘feather’ and become stationary much like an aeroplane propeller. The wind then passes over the blades without causing damage. They have safety systems designed to protect them from other severe weather events. There are also different classes of wind turbine for more inclement weather areas which are stronger. We will install the optimal wind turbine for the expected site conditions.
