Wind turbines are typically installed in groups called "farms". Onshore wind turbines can produce 2.5 to 3 MW of power, while offshore wind turbines can produce around 3.6 MW. 

Wind energy can be stored using a variety of methods, including:
Batteries:
Batteries are a good option for wind turbines because they are efficient, durable, and have a long lifespan. They can store energy from production peaks and release it as heat or steam later. Batteries can supply electricity for 20 minutes, while slower-response batteries can supply less power for up to an hour.

Compressed air energy storage (CAES):
Hydrogen production
Pumped hydro storage
Thermal energy storage
Flywheels
Supercapacitors
Chemical storage
Smart grids
Demand response
Energy management systems
