Yes, windturbines grow popular in Sweden. The people opposed of them say they are ugly and ruin the view. I'm not an expert on this but I tell you what I know. No, the propeller is locked when not in use. Each windturbine has each own computerized control system. I suppose this could be monitored from a distance, but the idea is that each windturbine takes care of itself. Sorry, I didn’t see you asked me a question before.

Do you know the answer to this question? If one has a 100-turbine wind farm how does one go about this? A control center where each turbine is controlled remotely? I assume that when a turbine is shut down the propellers are "free" and just spin with the wind. Another question. When the wind farm is generating power, is the power stored someplace? In case of a shutdown the windfarm runs on "reserve" or is it just "dead." Also, I see you are blogging from Sweden? Are wind turbines popular in Sweden? Désirée, makes sense.

A wind turbine must rotate with even speed. To to this the angle of the wings can be changed. When the wind is too strong the wings cannot be angled to keep the correct rotation speed on the turbine. Then the turbine is shut down.
