The wind turbine–generator shown has an output-power rating of 1.5 MW for a wind speed of 36 km/h. For the given wind speed, determine (a) the kinetic energy of the air particles entering the 82.5-m-diameter circle per second, (b) the efficiency of this energy conversion system. Assume r = 1.21 kg/m3for air.
A wind turbine-generator system having a diameter of 82.5 m produces 1.5 MW at a wind speed of 12 m/s. Determine the diameter of blade necessary to produce 10 MW of power assuming the efficiency is the same for both designs and r = 1.21 kg/m3for air.
