No, wind turbines do not generate electricity when it's not windy. . When there is no wind, will the wind turbine work? Is wind an absolute necessity for wind turbines to work? This article attempts to find answers to these questions and more. They consist of four main components: the tower, electrical systems, nacelle (housing the generator and gearbox), and rotor blades. The rotor blades are large and aerodynamic in shape, and they capture the energy of. . The fact is, if they are turning, there must have been some wind blowing. It could be just slightly windy; it only takes a slight breeze of to turn a turbine. Energy storage using compressed air ensures a stable power supply.
