Question:
A wind turbine is installed, the speed of the wind is 9.6 m/s, the pressure is 1 atm and the temperature is 15°C. The wind turbine rotor diameter is 118 m.
The density of the air at 15°C is 1.234 kg/m3. The Belts limit is 0.593
- Determine the power density of the wind,
- Determine the maximum power of the wind-turbine,
- Determine the force exerted on the turbine when working at maximum power using alpha=1/3.
F=2*rho*A*(Vinf)2*alpha*(1-alpha)
- Determine the maximum power output of a real wind turbine which has a power coefficient equal to 0.45.
- Determine the real wind-turbine efficiency
- If we suppose that the maximum power had been produced all the month of April, calculate the electrical energy have been supplied in MWh during that month.
- For an electric power of 15 GWh per month how many wind turbines would you install of this type.
