How is the energy in the wind related to wind speed?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Why does the addition of an inverter or power electronic frequency converter allow a wind turbine to rotate at various speeds?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

The energy in the wind is proportional to the cube of wind speed.

Answer to Question 2

The inverter takes voltage at any frequency and converts it to the grid frequency. This allows the wind turbine to rotate at any speed depending on conditions.
