Question

A horizontal wind turbine has been installed near the sea shore.

(a) Estimate the mechanical power generation of this turbine using the fundamental equation of wind power.

(b) Consider that in the morning the temperature of the turbine installation place is 20 °C, and air has a density of approximately 1.204 kg/m3. However, at noon, the temperature of the place is increased to 34°C. Then, estimate the change in mechanical power output of the wind turbine. (Consider all other parameters remain constant).

(c)Calculate the highest possible electricity generation by this wind turbine at noon time.

(d)If the installed wind turbine's turbine cost is RM450,000 which the rated power is 600 kW and the capacity factor is 28.54%, estimate the possible leve/ised cost of electricity for 30 years of operation .
