Electrical Engineering XYZ MCQs
Which of the following power plants can generate power at unpredictable or uncontrollable time:
- Cooling tower
- Wind turbine
- Condenser
- Pulverising unit
Correct answer: 2. Wind turbine
Explanation: Wind turbines generate electricity using wind energy. However, the availability of wind is unpredictable and uncontrollable. Wind speed and direction can vary throughout the day and are influenced by weather patterns, making wind power generation unpredictable and uncontrollable compared to other forms of power generation like coal or nuclear, where the generation can be more easily controlled and scheduled. Therefore, wind turbines can generate power at unpredictable or uncontrollable times due to the variability of wind.
