Can I have wind turbines on my base?

Background
A colony of humans has settled on a remote planet where there is little to no sunlight, but there is a plentiful amount of earth metals. E.g.- Iron, aluminium, Titanium, etc. There are high speed consistent winds that make it ideal for harvesting electricity from wind (speeds of 60 - 100mph.)
Question
What type of wind turbines would be ideal for this environment? I ask this as I got the impression that regular 3 prop wind turbines would rip themselves apart at these speeds. Any suggestions?
