13-42 Commercially available large wind turbines have blade span diameters larger than 100 m and generate over 3 MW of electric power at peak design conditions. Consider a wind turbine with a 60-m blade span subjected to 30-km/h steady winds. If the combined turbine-generator efficiency of the wind turbine is 32 percent, determine (a) the power generated by the turbine and (b) the horizontal force exerted by the wind on the supporting mast of the turbine. Take the density of air to be 1.25 kg/m³, and disregard fric- tional effects on mast. 30 km/h 60 m

Wind Energy

Wind energy is a renewable energy source that is used to generate electricity by wind power. The term, wind power, means utilization of kinetic energy of wind to generate electricity. Wind energy is termed renewable source energy because it can never be exhausted. There are other renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, geothermal energy, hydropower energy, and so on. All of them contribute to power the thermal energy stations to generate electricity.
