Question: 3 . A variable - speed HAWT with rotor diameter of 1 1 0 m operates with cut - in speed of ( 4

3. A variable-speed HAWT with rotor diameter of 110 m operates with cut-in speed of \(4\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\), cut-out speed of \(30\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\) and uses a generator with rated power of 5 MW . The maximum power coefficient for this turbine is 0.5 and mechanical efficiency is 0.92. Calculate the following:
a) Available wind power density \(\left[\mathrm{W}/\mathrm{m}^{2}\right]\) at an onshore location with wind speed distribution of Weibull (\(\mathrm{c}=9,\mathrm{k}=2.0)\) and an offshore location with wind speed distribution of Weibull (\(\mathrm{c}=14,\mathrm{k}=2.2\)).(4 points)
b) Capacity factors obtained using this turbine during a year for the above onshore and offshore locations? (6 points)
