Question: 2 . A variable - speed HAWT with rotor diameter of 8 0 m operates with cut - in speed of ( 4

2. A variable-speed HAWT with rotor diameter of 80 m operates with cut-in speed of \(4\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\), cutout speed of \(30\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\) at wind speed probability distribution of Weibull \((\mathrm{c}=9,\mathrm{k}=2.0\)). The maximum power coefficient for this turbine is 0.5 and mechanical efficiency is 0.9, calculate the following:
a) The appropriate generator rated power (MW) to generate exactly 9 GWh per year. (5 points)
b) Using the above generator, what is the power output at wind speeds of \(11\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s},15\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\), and \(32\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\)?(4 points)
c) How many hours per year does the turbine operate? (3 points)
