7a. Consider a plan to build a wind farm that is composed of 22 wind turbines each with a rated capacity of 2.50 MW. Each wind turbine has wind energy conversion efficiency of 39.0 %, and a combined gearbox/generator efficiency of 98.0%. The array efficiency is 74.0%. It is estimated that the wind farm will generate 190 GWh of electricity annually. Each wind turbine requires 300 hours of maintenance annually. What is the availability of an individual wind turbine (%)? 7b. Consider a plan to build a wind farm that is composed of 22 wind turbines each with a rated capacity of 2.50 MW.
