Q2(10p) Consider a wind turbine with a diameter D=120 meters. In this problem assume that the density of air is =1.2kgm3 and the wind speed is 8ms.
Calculate the power density of the wind at this location Wm2
Calculate the maximum (according to the Betz model) power produced by this turbine, kW.
Calculate the actual energy produced by this turbine, [kWh], in one day if the actual coefficient of power is 0.32. Assume that the wind speed, air properties and turbine performance are steady during the day.
Show all calculations, including units.
