A wind turbine has a blade length of 20 m. In a given day, average speed of wind for 4 hours is 7 m/s, average speed of wind for another 10 hours is 9 m/s and wind speed is not sufficient to rotate wind turbine for remaining time in a day. Take Air density p = 1.23 kg/m. Determine the following: Maximum possible power output of wind turbine for 4 hours ( p) Maximum possible power output of wind turbine for 8 hours Maximum possible energy output of turbine in a given day

Question
A wind turbine has a blade length of 20 m. In a given day, average speed of wind for 4 hours is 7 m/s, average speed of wind for another 10 hours is 9 m/s and wind speed is not
sufficient to rotate wind turbine for remaining time in a day. Take Air density p = 1.23 kg/m.
Determine the following:
a)
Maximum possible power output of wind turbine for 4 hours (
b) Maximum possible power output of wind turbine for 8 hours
c)
Maximum possible energy output of turbine in a given day
