There are no trees.
Wind turbine blocked by roof.
Turbine fans use only the wind blowing outside in order to rotate.
Every wind turbine has an anemometer that measures wind speed and a wind vane to keep track of the wind s direction.
I don t think it has been mentioned in the comments but when you have the turbine selected like in the second picture you can read in the information box what the problem is.
A better suggestion is to avoid putting wind turbines on the roof.
Am i missing something obvious or is there a mod conflict possibility i m not aware of or.
Find roof turbine vents at lowe s today.
According to screenshot it does say it s being blocked by roof.
There are no roofs over it.
See if you can find them toward the end of the scene of this 360 wind turbine tour video.
I uninstalled it and reinstalled it.
I won t mention brands but we chose a 400 watt horizontal axis wind turbine hawt and a 1 kw hawt.
A wind turbine produces a variable amount of power up to 3450w based on the current wind speed for wind conditions see weather it works day and night compared to a solar generator which only works during the day.
In the intro to sustainable energy class that i teach we do an exercise to calculate the payback period of various small wind turbines.
When the anemometer registers wind speeds higher than 55 mph cut out speed varies by turbine it triggers the wind turbine to automatically shut off.
There is no such thing as wind direction in this game so orientation of the turbines doesn t matter.
It should reduce the maximum amount of power the turbine can generate for every square being blocked i don t think there s a difference between tall objects.
One static vent style is the turbine vent which uses wind to power its enclosed fan all it takes is a light breeze to rotate the blades and suck heat out of the attic view example on the home.
But it still claims it can t produce power because it s blocked by a roof.
These fans are typically installed along or close to the roof s peak which is called a ridge.
