==Description==
{{Stationpedia|The Stationeers wind turbine was first designed by Norsec atmospheric engineers, looking to create a wind-driven power generation system that would operate even on exceedingly low atmosphere worlds. The ultra-light blades respond to exceedingly low atmospheric densities, while being strong enough to function even under huge strain in much more demanding environments. While the wind turbine is optimized to produce power (up to 500W) even on low atmosphere worlds, it performs best in denser environments. Output varies with wind speed and, during storms, may increase dramatically (up to 20,000W), so be careful to design your power networks with that in mind.}}
The Wind Turbine is a tall wind power generating structure built from a Kit (Wind Turbine).

Wind turbines can generate a [[Wind_Turbine#Average_Power_Output|varying amount of energy based on the planet]]. However, during [[Storm|storms]], wind turbines will spin much faster and can produce upwards of 20,000W. Due to this, it is recommended to use [[Transformer|transformers]] when using wind turbines as your main source of power on planets like [[Europa]] and [[Mars]].

Despite their alarming speed during storms, wind turbine blades will not damage Stationeers upon impact.

==Average Power Output==
Through some experimentation, the following average power outputs over time were determined. Note that the power output fluctuates on a 1-2 minute roughly sinusoidal cycle.

! World !! Average Power Output

| [[Mars]] || ~40W

| [[Europa]] || ~190W

JFKen Imperia: Changed the max output power while storm is active from 10KW to 20KW

Modifying the max output while Storm >> 20.000W instead of 10.000W.
