Question:
Wind speed measurements were conducted at a particular location over a year. The yearly average speed was found to be 10 m/s. The wind turbine's cut-in speed is 4 m/s, the cut-out speed is 22 m/s, and its rated speed is 14 m/s. The rotor's diameter is 95 m, and the air density is assumed to be 1.1 kg/m. With a consistent overall wind turbine efficiency of 40%, we aim to estimate the yearly electricity generation. This estimation will be based on the Rayleigh wind speed distribution, which closely mirrors the measured wind speed data. It's important to note that we assume the power output remains constant between the rated and cut-out speeds. Additionally, we'll calculate the capacity factor for this wind turbine.
