A wind turbine is required to provide an average electrical power output of 10 kW in a rural location, where the annual average wind speed at the standard height of 10m is 5.5 m/s. Estimate the approximate size of turbine required, stating clearly any assumptions you may wish to make. Use the following data: density of air = 1.3 kg/m³ and coefficient of performance of the wind turbine = 0.25 A wind turbine is required to provide an average electrical power output of 10 kW in a rural location, where the annual average wind speed at the standard height of 10m is 5.5 m/s.
