Short, un-illuminating answer: yes.Longer, hopefully illuminating answer: the important part is how long it takes to get that 6000 or 10000 kWh. If it takes a year, you%26#039;ll get in the region of 16-27 kWh per day.
How many houses this will run depends on how the people in those houses live. For some folks who live really efficient lives and don%26#039;t use air conditioning or electric hot water, 2 kWh might be all they use in a typical day; one wind turbine would suffice for about 8 such households. The average house uses more like 1 kWh average, so 24 kWh/day; such a wind turbine might power as little as 2/3 of such a house.
Hope this helps. 67% 2 Votes

The power rating of the generator determines the maximum instantaneous output of the generator. The length of time that generator is operated at a certain power level determines the kWhrs generated.
kWhrs is an engineering unit of energy (time relevant)
kW is an engineering unit of power (instantaneous)
energy = power x time, therefore
kWhrs = kW x hrs
The rating for a generator is in power. Both kW or MW (mechanical rating of the generator), %26amp; kVA or MVA (electrical rating for the generator)
If you had a 1kW generator and operated it for 10000 hours you will have generated 10000kWhrs of electricity. If you have a 10000 kW (10 MW) generator and ran it for 1 hour you will have generated 10000 kWhrs. Power Plant Electrician and Operator 33% 1 Vote -
Easily, some of the offshore turbines are rated up to 5 MW, which would produce 5000kWhr for every hour it runs at full capacity.
